Abstract
An approach is provided for a more efficient and user friendly mechanism for sharing, transferring, or continuing a content consumption session via another device. The approach includes a method for determining a request to share a content consumption session from at least one device associated with a user to at least one other device associated with the user. The method further includes causing, at least in part, a generation of data describing at least one state of the content consumption session. The method also includes causing, at least in part, a transfer of the data to the at least one other device. Additionally, the method includes causing, at least in part, a mapping of the at least one device, the at least one other device, or a combination thereof to the user based, at least in part, on another request to continue the content consumption session at the at least one other device using the data.
