Methods, systems, and apparatus are described for transferring application data. In one aspect, a method includes causing, by a first component on a first device to establish a wireless connection with a second device; receiving, by the first component, first application data from the first application; receiving, by the first component, an indication that a user of the second device has approved a data transfer; and causing, by the first component, the first device to send the first application data to the second component running on the second device using the wireless connection.

Transferring application data between devices

Methods, systems, and apparatus are described for transferring application data. In one aspect, a method includes causing, by a first component on a first device to establish a wireless connection with a second device; receiving, from a second component on the second device, data specifying one or more applications that are installed on the second device and supported by the second component, each of the applications being separate from the second component; determining, by the first component, that a first application installed on the first device corresponds to one of the applications installed on the second device, the first application being separate from the first component; receiving, by the first component, first application data from the first application; and causing, by the first component, the first device to send the first application data to the second component running on the second device using the wireless connection.

Methods, systems, and apparatus are described for transferring application data. In one aspect, a method includes causing, by a first service running on a first device to establish a wireless connection with a second device; receiving, from a second service running on the second device, data specifying applications that are installed on the second device and supported by the second service, each of the applications being separate from the second service; determining, by the first service, that a first application installed on the first device matches one of the applications installed on the second device, the first application being separate from the first service; receiving, by the first service, first application data from the first application; and causing, by the first service, the first device to send the first application data to the second service running on the second device using the wireless connection.

Systems and techniques are disclosed for predictively selecting media content items and providing the predicted media content items to a cache. A media client may be in communication with a cache and detect the media content items stored on the cache. Based on the detection, a media content user interface may be modified and may contain the cached media content items or links to the cached media content items.

Local client discovery for content via cache

Methods, systems, and apparatus are described for transferring application data between devices. In one aspect, a method includes causing, by a first service running on a first device, the first device to establish a wireless connection with a second device; receiving, from a second service running on the second device, data specifying applications that are installed on the second device and supported by the second service, each of the applications being separate from the second service; determining, by the first service, that a first application installed on the first device matches one of the applications installed on the second device, the first application being separate from the first service; receiving, by the first service, first application data from the first application; and causing, by the first service, the first device to send the first application data to the second service running on the second device using the wireless connection.

In one of the many embodiments of the present inventions, a system is provided which includes at least one server to execute at least one session where the at least one session includes data associated with a user. The system also includes at least one stateless client coupled to the at least one server where the at least one stateless client obtains the at least one session from the at least one server.

Low cost, stateless, full-featured information appliance

A vehicle control computer system uses JavaBeans&trade; to implement device interfaces. A vehicle control center, having a processor and memory, provides user access to devices operating within the vehicle. The manufacturer of such devices provides a JavaBean&trade; interface stored with the device. When a device is installed in the vehicle, the processor or other control element of the vehicle control center becomes aware of the installation and requests or otherwise receives the stored JavaBean&trade; interface from the device. A data structure is used to maintain information about interfaces for devices. The vehicle control center can then use the interface as received or replace it with a different interface already stored in memory by changing the contents of the data is structure.
