Abstract: A first client device or system performs a method that includes retaining in memory registration information for a respective application indicating the respective application is registered for sharing application state with other client devices or systems. The method further includes storing an application state of a respective application, and detecting a transfer triggering condition. The transfer triggering condition includes presence of a second client device or system within a predefined proximity of the first client device or system, and the predefined proximity is a predefined proximity for near field communication. Furthermore, upon detecting the triggering condition, the first client device or system determines, in accordance with the stored registration information, that the respective application is registered for application state sharing, and transmits the application state of the respective application to the second client device or system.

Abstract: A system and machine-implemented method for providing a username and password to a system using a device, via establishing a near field communication link with the system; retrieving a username and password from storage on the device; and transmitting the username and password to the system via the near field communication link, wherein the username and password are configured to be used by the system to authenticate the user on the system.

Abstract: A first client device executes a plurality of actively running applications, each having one or more checkpoints, each checkpoint identifying an execution breakpoint at which a respective application can be suspended and subsequently resumed. The first client device detects a transfer triggering condition, stores an application state for each of the plurality of actively running applications, and transmits the stored application state for each of the plurality of actively running applications to a second client device or system. The stored application state for each respective application of the plurality of actively running applications corresponds to a checkpoint of the respective application. Optionally, the transfer triggering condition includes presence of the second client device or system within a predefined proximity of the first client device or system, wherein the predefined proximity is a predefined proximity for near field communication.

Abstract: Space occupied by native code associated with a first method and stored within a native code space is reclaimed by determining whether the native code space exceeds a threshold in response to the invocation of a second method. Once the determination is made, byte code is compiled into native code associated with the second method and the native code associated with the first method may be reclaimed. In one embodiment, this reclamation occurs in response to a determination that the threshold has been exceeded and that the first method is inactive. In another embodiment, reclamation occurs in response to a determination that the threshold has been exceeded and that the first method is cold.
