Input handover from a first device to a second device

1. A method for input handover from a first device to a second device, the method comprising:

establishing a connection between a first device and a second device;

capturing a first image from the first device;

capturing a second image from the second device;

determining a location of the second device in reference to the first device based on comparing the first image and the second image;

determining occurrence of a trigger event on the first device; and

executing handover of an input instruction from the first device to the second device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining a location of the second device in reference to the first device comprises determining whether the second device is located near a first edge of the first device or a second edge of the first device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trigger event comprises an interaction with a first edge or a second edge of the first device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising mapping or matching a point associated with the first image with a point associated with the second image.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first image and the second image are captured substantially simultaneously.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining a location of the second device in reference to the first device comprises mapping a movement of a point associated with the first image with a movement of a point associated with the second image.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein executing handover of an input instruction from the first device to the second device comprises sending a notification to the second device to start receiving an input instruction from the first device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the handover uses a network protocol.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first device comprises a device that accepts input via a mouse or a keyboard.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second device comprises a device that accepts touch input.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input instruction is entered on the first device, and wherein the method further comprises transferring the input instruction from the first device to the second device.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second device can be controlled via input entered on the second device.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transferring data from the first device to the second device using input provided on at least one of the first device or the second device.

14. A system for input handover from a first device to a second device, the system comprising:

a memory;

a processor;

a module stored in the memory, executable by the processor, and configured to:

establish a connection between a first device and a second device;

receive a first image from the first device;

receive a second image from the second device;

determine a location of the second device in reference to the first device based on comparing the first image and the second image;

determine occurrence of a trigger event on the first device; and

execute handover of an input instruction from the first device to the second device.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the system comprises a cloud-based server.

16. A computer program product for input handover from a first device to a second device, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code configured to:

establish a connection between a first device and a second device;

receive a first image from the first device;

receive a second image from the second device;

determine a location of the second device in reference to the first device based on comparing the first image and the second image;

determine occurrence of a trigger event on the first device; and

execute handover of an input instruction from the first device to the second device.
