  • Patent number: 11165789
    Abstract: Application interactions are seamlessly moved between clients of a software platform. An application-based interaction initiated at a first client for which use by an operator is pre-authenticated is detected. An indication of the application-based interaction is signaled to one or more other clients for which use by the operator is pre-authenticated. A determination is made to switch the application-based interaction to a second client of those other clients. The application-based interaction is switched from the first client to the second client while the application-based interaction remains in progress, such as using a communication channel opened between the first client and the second client. The operator may then continue and eventually terminate the application-based interaction at the second client.
