The present invention relates generally to transferring data from one device to another device and, more particularly, to transferring data from a first device with a first operating system to a second device with a second operating system that is different than the first operating system.
As users utilize applications on multiple personal computing devices, manufacturers are offering options to the user for transferring information across multiple computing devices. During a working session, a user may utilize an email application on a personal computing device to begin drafting an email and may utilize another personal computing device to complete drafting the email in the same email application. Other systems have been proposed that enable the user to transfer to the draft email from one computing device, such as a tablet, to another computing device, such as a desktop computer running the same application.
In an aspect of the invention, a computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a translating computer device, an indication to transfer data from a first application on a first computer device running on a first operating system to a second application on a second computer device running on a second operating system that is different than the first operating system; extracting, by the translating computer device, the data from the first application on the first computer device based on the receiving; and transmitting, by the translating computer device, the data to the second computer device based on the extracting.
In another aspect of the invention, a computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions executable by a computer device to cause the computer device to receive an indication to transfer data from a first application on a first computer device running on a first operating system to a second application on a second computer device running on a second operating system that is different than the first operating system; in response to the receiving, extract data from the first application by converting the data from the first application into a format useable by the second application by mapping the data from fields of the first application to the fields on the second application; and transmit the data to the second computer device based on the converting.
In another aspect of the invention, there is a system for transferring data. The system includes: a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage medium associated with a computing device with program instructions to receive an indication to transfer data from a first application on a first computer device running on a first operating system to a second application on a second computer device running on a second operating system that is different than the first operating system; program instructions to extract data from the first application on the first computer device based on the receiving; and program instructions to transmit the data to a second computer device based on the converting.
The present invention is described in the detailed description which follows, in reference to the noted plurality of drawings by way of non-limiting examples of exemplary embodiments of the present invention.
The present invention relates generally to transferring data from one device to another device and, more particularly, to transferring data from a first device with a first operating system to a second device with a second operating system that is different than the first operating system. The first operating system and the second operating system may be non-identical. Currently, significant difficulty exists in transferring data of computer applications during a working session across multiple computing devices with different operating systems. Aspects of the present invention provide a system for transferring data of computer applications during a working session from a computing device with first operating system (OS) and computer architecture to another computing device with a different OS and computer architecture. Advantageously, the present invention provides a system for transferring work on a computing platform with limited capabilities (e.g., a small display) and functions to another computing platform with more advanced capabilities and functions even though the other computing platform operates with a different operating system. Other advantages include providing for improved hand-off of information from non-identical applications where the non-identical applications operate on different devices with different operating systems.
As described herein, an OS is software on the hard drive of a computing device that enables the computing device hardware to communicate and operate with the computing device software. As described herein, a computer architecture is a set of rules and methods that describe the functionality, organization, and implementation of computer systems.
In aspects, the present invention extracts working session data from a first application (e.g., word processing, spreadsheet, email, etc.) running on a first computing device (e.g., smart phones, tablets, portable computers, desktop computer, etc.) with a first OS and computer architecture. Aspects of the present invention convert the working session data (e.g., the data state of the application and the metadata of the application) of the first application into a format compatible with a second application running on a second computing device having a second OS and computer architecture. Aspects of the present invention may include opening the second application on the second computing device and automatically populating fields in the second application with data extracted from the first application.
For example, implementations of the invention may be configured to extract data of a header and body of a word processing document of a word processing application from a desktop computer running on a desktop-based OS and computer architecture. In aspects, the present invention converts the extracted data to a mobile OS and computer architecture and opens another word processing application on a tablet computer running on a mobile OS and computer architecture.
The present invention may be a system, a method, and/or a computer program product at any possible technical detail level of integration. The computer program product may include a computer readable storage medium (or media) having computer readable program instructions thereon for causing a processor to carry out aspects of the present invention.
The computer readable storage medium can be a tangible device that can retain and store instructions for use by an instruction execution device. The computer readable storage medium may be, for example, but is not limited to, an electronic storage device, a magnetic storage device, an optical storage device, an electromagnetic storage device, a semiconductor storage device, or any suitable combination of the foregoing. A non-exhaustive list of more specific examples of the computer readable storage medium includes the following: a portable computer diskette, a hard disk, a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or Flash memory), a static random access memory (SRAM), a portable compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM), a digital versatile disk (DVD), a memory stick, a floppy disk, a mechanically encoded device such as punch-cards or raised structures in a groove having instructions recorded thereon, and any suitable combination of the foregoing. A computer readable storage medium, as used herein, is not to be construed as being transitory signals per se, such as radio waves or other freely propagating electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic waves propagating through a waveguide or other transmission media (e.g., light pulses passing through a fiber-optic cable), or electrical signals transmitted through a wire.
Computer readable program instructions described herein can be downloaded to respective computing/processing devices from a computer readable storage medium or to an external computer or external storage device via a network, for example, the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network and/or a wireless network. The network may comprise copper transmission cables, optical transmission fibers, wireless transmission, routers, firewalls, switches, gateway computers and/or edge servers. A network adapter card or network interface in each computing/processing device receives computer readable program instructions from the network and forwards the computer readable program instructions for storage in a computer readable storage medium within the respective computing/processing device.
Computer readable program instructions for carrying out operations of the present invention may be assembler instructions, instruction-set-architecture (ISA) instructions, machine instructions, machine dependent instructions, microcode, firmware instructions, state-setting data, configuration data for integrated circuitry, or either source code or object code written in any combination of one or more programming languages, including an object oriented programming language such as Smalltalk, C++, or the like, and procedural programming languages, such as the “C” programming language or similar programming languages. The computer readable program instructions may execute entirely on the user's computer, partly on the user's computer, as a stand-alone software package, partly on the user's computer and partly on a remote computer or entirely on the remote computer or server. In the latter scenario, the remote computer may be connected to the user's computer through any type of network, including a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), or the connection may be made to an external computer (for example, through the Internet using an Internet Service Provider). In some embodiments, electronic circuitry including, for example, programmable logic circuitry, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), or programmable logic arrays (PLA) may execute the computer readable program instructions by utilizing state information of the computer readable program instructions to personalize the electronic circuitry, in order to perform aspects of the present invention.
Aspects of the present invention are described herein with reference to flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams of methods, apparatus (systems), and computer program products according to embodiments of the invention. It will be understood that each block of the flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams, and combinations of blocks in the flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams, can be implemented by computer readable program instructions.
These computer readable program instructions may be provided to a processor of a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or other programmable data processing apparatus to produce a machine, such that the instructions, which execute via the processor of the computer or other programmable data processing apparatus, create means for implementing the functions/acts specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks. These computer readable program instructions may also be stored in a computer readable storage medium that can direct a computer, a programmable data processing apparatus, and/or other devices to function in a particular manner, such that the computer readable storage medium having instructions stored therein comprises an article of manufacture including instructions which implement aspects of the function/act specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks.
The computer readable program instructions may also be loaded onto a computer, other programmable data processing apparatus, or other device to cause a series of operational steps to be performed on the computer, other programmable apparatus or other device to produce a computer implemented process, such that the instructions which execute on the computer, other programmable apparatus, or other device implement the functions/acts specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks.

The translating computer device 60 may comprise a plurality of modules configured to perform one or more functions described herein. In aspects, the translating computer device 60 may include additional or fewer modules than those shown in
As described herein, the translating computer device 60 includes a receiving module 70, an extracting module 72, and a transmitting module 74. Each module in the translating computer device 60 may be implemented as multiple computing components or modules (e.g., program modules 42 of
In aspects, the first computer device 100 may include a first application 110 stored on a hard drive (e.g., storage system 34 of
In aspects, the first computer device 100 may also include an application transfer button 130 which may be selected by a user to begin the operations of the translating computer device 60. The application transfer button 130 may be a virtual button on the display or interface of the first computer device 100 which may be used to initiate a process to transfer the context (e.g., data within a single application or multiple applications) to a different computer device running on a different computing architecture or between the same computing architecture with non-identical applications.
In aspects, the second computer device 200 may include a second application 210 stored on a hard drive (e.g., storage system 34 of
Still referring to
Based on receiving the indication to transfer data from the first application 110 to the second application 210, the extracting module 72 extracts data from the first application 110 on the first computer device 100. In aspects, the extraction of the data may be done in the background and out of view of the user.
For example, the extracting module 72 may extract email data (e.g., text from the subject line, text of the email, etc.) from the email application on the desktop computer after opening the email application on the desktop computer. The extracting module 72 may also determine the information for use in the headers and metadata of the email application of the first computer device 100 and transmit the information to the email application of the second computer device 200.
As described herein, the information for the header may include information such as the destination for the data. For example, the information for the header may include information that the destination of the data of the email application of the first computer device 100 may be to the email application of the second computer device 200.
The information for the metadata may include pieces of information of each field of the application. For example, the information for the metadata may include information regarding the “to” field of an email for the email application of the first computer device 100, which will later be transmitted to the email application of the second computer device 200.
In aspects, the extracting module 72 converts the data from the first application 110 into a format useable by the second application 210. For example, the extracting module 72 converts the email data from the email application of the first computer device 100 into a format useable by the email application of the second computer device 200.
In embodiments, the converting comprises mapping the data from the first application 110 to the fields of the second application 210. The fields may include, for example, the appropriate header and metadata of the first application and the second application.
In aspects, the extracting module 72 stores data structures that define mappings between fields of respective applications. For example, a first data structure may define a mapping of fields of spreadsheet A running on the first operating system 120 to corresponding fields of spreadsheet B running on the second operating system 220. In another example, a second data structure may define the mapping of fields of the spreadsheet to corresponding fields of a word processing application. In yet another example, a third data structure may define the mapping of fields of a presentation application to corresponding fields of word processing application. In still another example, a fourth data structure may define the mapping of fields of a work-based calendaring application to corresponding fields of email application. The present invention is not limited to the examples described herein, and may include other examples of accessing data structures that define mappings between fields of different applications.
By way of example, the extracting module 72 maps the converted data for the “to” field of an email for the email application of the first computer device 100 to the appropriate “send to” field of an email for the email application of the second computer device 200. By way of another example, the header field of a presentation application of the first computer device 100 may by mapped to the header field of the word processing application of the second computer device 200.
In aspects, the extracting module 72 may map the data according to type of application (e.g., identical types of applications). For example, the extracting module 72 may map the data between two different spreadsheet applications, two different word processing applications, two different email applications, two different web applications, etc.
In other aspects, the extracting module 72 may map the data between multiple types of application (e.g., non-identical types of applications), provided the extracting module 72 extracted sufficient mapping data for two different applications. For example, the extracting module 72 may map the data between a spreadsheet application and a word processing application, an email application and a word processing application, a spreadsheet application and a web application, etc.
Based on mapping the data, the transmitting module 74 transmits the data to the second computer device 200. For example, the transmitting module 74 transmits the email data, which has been converted to a format operable by the second application 210, to the second computer device 200. In aspects, based on extracting the data, the transmitting module 74 transmits an open command which tasks the second computer device 200 with opening the second application 210 with the converted data from the first application 110. For example, the transmitting module 74 transmits an open command (e.g., an email open command) to the second computer device 200 that opens the email application running on the second computer device 200 with the converted data from the email application running on the first computer device 100.
In optional aspects, based on mapping the data, the transmitting module 74 determines whether the data of the first application 110 has been saved or auto-saved prior to transmitting the data. In embodiments, if the data of the first application 110 has been saved, the transmitting module 74 determines the email Universal Note Identification or other unique identification of the first application 110 which includes the saved data of the first application 110.
Based on determining the data has been saved, the transmitting module 74 closes or minimizes the application window of the first application 110 and transmits a signal to the first operating system 120 of the first computer device 100 that the transmitting module 74 is ready to transmit the saved data of the first application 110. The transmitted signal may include, but is not limited to, a synchronization command and the email Universal Note Identification in addition to the saved data. In aspects, the application window of the first application 110 may be opened or maximized for further editing, which when further edited will update the email Universal Note Identification or other unique identification of the first application 110.
In response to determining the data has been saved, the transmitting module 74 may transmit additional information on the signal to the second computer device 200. For example, the signal may include updates of the data of the first application 110 and an application programming interface (API) call to the second computer device 200 to open the second application 210 with the email Universal Note Identification or other unique identification of the first application 110 which includes the saved data of the first application 110. In this manner, the present invention allows a user to transfer the recently updated saved data to the second application 210 from the first application 110 without having to determine whether the signal comprises the recently updated data.
Based on determining the data in the application has not been saved (e.g., non-saved or a non-save of the data), the transmitting module 74 copies the data content of first application 110. Based on copying the data and determining the data has not been saved, the transmitting module 74 closes the first application 110 without saving and may transmit a signal directly to the second computer device 200. For example, the signal may include the copied data and a request to create a new document for the second application 210 with the copied data of the first application 110.
Additionally, the transmitting module 74 may inform the user of completion of the transfer of the data of the first application 110 on the first computer device 100 to the second application 210 on the second computer device 200. For example, the transmitting module 74 may inform the user of the completion of the transfer of email data from the first computer device 100 to the email application on the second computer device 200.
In embodiments, the first computer device 100 may display the application transfer button 130 which, when selected by a user of the first computer device 100, initializes a translating device pop-up screen 340. The translating device pop-up screen 340 allows a user to select the application or multiple applications, where the data from the application or applications may be received by the receiving module 70 of the translating computer device 60 and transmitted to the second computer device 200. In aspects, upon selection of the application transfer button 130, the first computer device 100 may transmit data from the selected applications in the translating device pop-up screen 340 to the receiving module 70 of the translating computer device 60 and transmitted to the second computer device 200.
In other embodiments, the translating device pop-up screen 340 may also include applications related to the working session of the user that are not currently active but related to the work of the working session of the user. For example, during a working session, a user may utilize a corporate email application. Upon selection of the application transfer button 130, the translating device pop-up screen 340 may include the email of the client, the virtual private network of the corporation, a web page to the corporate directory, and the corporation's homepage (e.g., the context or data within the email application and other corporate applications). In another example, during a working session in which the user works on a personal email application about a particular corporation, the translating device pop-up screen 340 may include the email client, two of the ten open web pages related to the particular corporation, and a portable document format (PDF) document that lists requirements of the particular corporation. The present invention is not limited to the examples described herein, and may include other examples of the context or the data of applications related to the working session of the user.
In aspects, the present invention automatically populates the translating device pop-up screen 340 without having the user login to each application. For example, upon selection of the application transfer button 130, the translating device pop-up screen 340 is populated with user selectable application options related to the work of the working session of the user.
By way of an example, during a working session when a user works on a laptop with multiple monitors, multiple applications, and multiple open windows, the user receives an email on the user's mobile phone. The user begins at reading the email using the mobile phone email application running on a mobile phone OS of the mobile phone. While reading the email, the user discovers that the email is from the user's general manager requesting immediate information on a client's request for a proposal. The user clicks the reply button and begins drafting an email in response to the request from the manager. Midway through typing the email, the user decides that email could be made better by using the user's laptop. The user selects the application transfer button 130 to transfer the email from the mobile phone to a laptop email application on the user's laptop, which has better functionality (e.g., ability for multiple monitors, multiple applications, and multiple open windows, etc.) and runs on a laptop OS.
In aspects, the user may designate the data transfer from multiple applications (e.g., Application A, Application B, Application C) on the first computer device 100 to multiple applications on the second computer device 200 via the translating device pop-up screen 340. In other aspects, the user may designate the data transfer to devices other than the second computer device 200.
Based on transmitting the data to the second computer device 200, the translating computer device 60 converts the draft email that was in progress in the mobile phone email application running on the mobile phone OS to a format operable for the laptop email application running on the laptop OS. Thereafter, the translating computer device 60 launches the draft email on the laptop email application and moves the focus of the working session to the laptop email application of the laptop to complete the draft email in response to the general manager request.
At step 400, the translating computer device 60 receives an indication to transfer data from a first application 110 on a first computer device 100 running on a first operating system 120 to a second application 210 on a second computer device 200 running on a second operating system 220. In aspects, the receiving module 70 receives an indication to transfer data from the first application 110 on the first computer device 100 to the second application 210 on the second computer device 200.
For example, as described with respect to
At step 402, the translating computer device 60 extracts data from the first application 110 on the first computer device 100. In aspects, based on receiving the indication to transfer data from the first application 110 to the second application 210 at step 400, the extracting module 72 extracts data from the first application 110 on the first computer device 100.
For example, as described with respect to
At step 404, the translating computer device 60 transmits the data of the first application 110 to the second computer device 200. In aspects, based on extracting data from the first application 110 on the first computer device 100 at step 402, the transmitting module 74 transmits the data of the first application 110 to the second computer device 200 based on the extracting.
For example, as described with respect to
As described herein, step 404 may comprise the transmitting module 74 transmitting an open command to the second computer device 200 which tasks the second computer device 200 with opening the second application 210 with the converted data from the first application 110. For example, the transmitting module 74 transmits an open command to the second computer device 200 and the second computer device 200 opens a non-identical spreadsheet application on the laptop and populates the non-identical spreadsheet application with the data transmitted from the desktop computer.

In this case, the service provider can create, maintain, deploy, support, etc., the computer infrastructure that performs the process steps of the invention for one or more customers. These customers may be, for example, any business that uses technology. In return, the service provider can receive payment from the customer(s) under a subscription and/or fee agreement and/or the service provider can receive payment from the sale of advertising content to one or more third parties.
