  • Patent number: 7870272
    Abstract: A content management system stores location information indicating a location within a content item where a user exited from or last-accessed the content item. This location information is synchronized or otherwise shared between or among a plurality of devices associated with the user. With this information stored on or accessible to these multiple devices, the system enables the user to start from that location when subsequently accessing the content item on any of these devices. The user's experience with the content item is thus preserved over time and independently of the device on which the content item is accessed.
