Abstract
Described herein is a system generating and sending shortcuts from a sending device to a receiving device. In one implementation, the sending device generates shortcut reference data (SRD) which includes application data indicative of a state of an application and a hash based on the application data. The SRD is sent to a shortcut server, while shortcut delivered data (SDD) which includes the hash value is sent to a recipient device. The recipient device may use the hash value of the SDD to request and receive the application data from the shortcut server. Once received, an application installed on the recipient device recreates on the recipient device the state of the application as originally presented on the sending device. As a result, a user at the sending device may share their experience with a user at the receiving device. Fees associated with the use of the system may be calculated.
