Communication session transfer between devices

1. A method for communication session transfer between a plurality of computing devices, the method comprising:

detecting, by a first computing device, a presence of a second computing device in proximity to the first computing device, wherein the first computing device has established a first communication session with a remote computing device;

establishing, by the first computing device, a wireless connection to the second computing device, wherein establishing comprises:

generating, by the first computing device, a first token including a shared key that is pre-stored on the first computing device and an identifier of the first computing device, wherein the structure of the first token is configured to render the first token invalid if transferred to another device;

generating, by the second computing device, a second token including the shared key that is pre-stored on the second computing device and an identifier of the second computing device, wherein the structure of the second token is configured to render the second token invalid if transferred to another device;

transmitting, by the second computing device, the second token to the first computing device; and

authenticating, by the first computing device, the second token via comparison to the first token;

receiving, by the second computing device from the first computing device, information associated with the first communication session; and

establishing, by the second computing device, a second communication session with the remote computing device using the received information, wherein the second communication session is established with a same state as the first communication session.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first communication session at least one of: an HTTP-based session, an HTTPS-based session, or a TCP-based session.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the presence of a second computing device includes monitoring an area around the first computing device for the presence of the second computing device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first token is generated by a security module of the first computing device, and the second token is generated by a security module of the second computing device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by the first computing device, whether the identifier of the second computing device is on a trusted list stored at the first computing device;

establishing, by the first computing device, the wireless connection if the identifier of the second computing device is on the trusted list; and

refusing, by the first computing device, the wireless connection if the identifier of the second computing device is not on the trusted list.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by the first computing device, whether the second computing device is connected to a same local network as the first computing device;

establishing, by the first computing device, the wireless connection if the second computing device is connected to the same local network; and

refusing, by the first computing device, the wireless connection if the second computing device is not connected to the same local network.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless connection includes at least one of:

a Bluetooth connection, a near-field communication (NFC) connection, or a Wi-Fi connection.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the first computing device to the second computing device, a request to terminate the first communication session; and

terminating, by the second computing device, the first communication session.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein terminating the first communication session includes destroying a cookie associated with the first communication session, transmitting a session termination request to the remote computing device, or both.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising transmitting, by the first computing device to the remote computing device, a request to terminate the first communication session.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein establishing a second communication session with the remote computing device includes launching, by the first computing device, an application to establish the second communication session.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the launched application includes a web browsing application.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second communication session is established with one or more same security settings as the first communication session.

14. A system for communication session transfer between a plurality of computing devices, the system comprising:

a first computing device,

a second computing device, and

a remote computing device;

the first computing device configured to:

detect a presence of a second computing device in proximity to the first computing device, wherein the first computing device has established a first communication session with a remote computing device;

establish a wireless connection to the second computing device, wherein establishing comprises:

generating, by the first computing device, a first token including a shared key that is pre-stored on the first computing device and an identifier of the first computing device, wherein the structure of the first token is configured to render the first token invalid if transferred to another device;

generating, by the second computing device, a second token including the shared key that is pre-stored on the second computing device and an identifier of the second computing device, wherein the structure of the second token is configured to render the second token invalid if transferred to another device;

transmitting, by the second computing device, the second token to the first computing device; and

authenticating, by the first computing device, the second token via comparison to the first token;

receive, from the second computing device, information associated with the first communication session; and

establish a second communication session with the remote computing device using the received information, wherein the second communication session is established with a same state as the first communication session.

15. A computer program product, tangibly embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, for communication session transfer between a plurality of computing devices, the computer program product including instructions operable to cause a first computing device to:

detect a presence of a second computing device in proximity to the first computing device, wherein the first computing device has established a first communication session with a remote computing device;

establish a wireless connection to the second computing device, wherein establishing comprises:

generating, by the first computing device, a first token including a shared key that is pre-stored on the first computing device and an identifier of the first computing device, wherein the structure of the first token is configured to render the first token invalid if transferred to another device;

generating, by the second computing device, a second token including the shared key that is pre-stored on the second computing device and an identifier of the second computing device, wherein the structure of the second token is configured to render the second token invalid if transferred to another device;

transmitting, by the second computing device, the second token to the first computing device; and

authenticating, by the first computing device, the second token via comparison to the first token;

receive, from the second computing device, information associated with the first communication session; and

establish a second communication session with the remote computing device using the received information, wherein the second communication session is established with a same state as the first communication session.
