System for Using a Device as a Side Car

1 . A system for sharing a communications session between multiple devices, the system comprising:

a memory that stores instructions;

a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising:

receiving a first request to establish the communications session from a first device associated with a first user, wherein the first request is received from a first application of the first device;

establishing the communications session for the first device associated with the first user, wherein the communications session is established based in response to the first request;

receiving, from a second device associated with the first user, a second request to join the communications session, wherein the second request is received from a second application of the second device;

joining, in response to the second request, the second device to the communications session if the first request and the second request include a common identifier for the first user; and

transmitting, if the second device is joined to the communications session, instructions for causing at least a portion of communications associated with the first device to be presented on a user interface of the second device, wherein the communications are presented during the communications session.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise preventing the second device from joining the communications session if the first request and the second request do not include a common identifier for the first user.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise enabling the first application and the second application to share user state information when the second device is joined to the communications session.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting instructions for causing at least a portion of communications generated by the second device to be presented on a user interface of the first device.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first device is a non-mobile device and the second device is a mobile device.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise enabling the communications session to be controlled by the first device, the second device, or a combination thereof.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the communications associated with the first device comprise unified communications that include voice communications, messaging communications, audio communications, video communications, text communications, or a combination thereof.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise sharing, via the communications session, the communications with a third device associated with a second user, wherein the third device does not have control of the communications session.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise providing a first mode for causing the communications to be transmitted from the first device, and wherein the operations further comprise providing a second mode for causing the communications to be transmitted from the second device.

10 . A method for sharing a communications session between multiple devices, the method comprising:

receiving a first request to establish the communications session from a first device associated with a first user, wherein the first request is received from a first application of the first device;

establishing, by utilizing instructions from memory that are executed by a processor, the communications session for the first device associated with the first user, wherein the communications session is established based in response to the first request;

receiving, from a second device associated with the first user, a second request to join the communications session, wherein the second request is received from a second application of the second device;

joining, in response to the second request, the second device to the communications session if the first request and the second request include a common identifier for the first user; and

transmitting, if the second device is joined to the communications session, instructions for causing at least a portion of communications associated with the first device to be presented on a user interface of the second device, wherein the communications are presented during the communications session.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising preventing the second device from joining the communications session if the first request and the second request do not include a common identifier for the first user.

12 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising enabling the first application and the second application to share user state information when the second device is joined to the communications session.

13 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising transmitting instructions for causing at least a portion of communications generated by the second device to be presented on a user interface of the first device.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first device is a non-mobile device and the second device is a mobile device.

15 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising enabling the communications session to be controlled by the first device, the second device, or a combination thereof.

16 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the communications associated with the first device comprise unified communications that include voice communications, messaging communications, audio communications, video communications, text communications, or a combination thereof.

17 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising sharing, via the communications session, the communications with a third device associated with a second user, wherein the third device does not have control of the communications session.

18 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising providing a first mode for causing the communications to be transmitted from the first device, and further comprising providing a second mode for causing the communications to be transmitted from the second device.

19 . A computer-readable device comprising instructions, which when loaded and executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a first request to establish a communications session from a first device associated with a first user, wherein the first request is received from a first application of the first device;

establishing the communications session for the first device associated with the first user, wherein the communications session is established based in response to the first request;

receiving, from a second device associated with the first user, a second request to join the communications session, wherein the second request is received from a second application of the second device;

joining, in response to the second request, the second device to the communications session if the first request and the second request include a common identifier for the first user; and

transmitting, if the second device is joined to the communications session, instructions for causing at least a portion of communications associated with the first device to be presented on a user interface of the second device, wherein the communications are presented during the communications session.

20 . The computer-readable device of claim 19 , wherein the operations further comprise enabling the first application and the second application to share user state information when the second device is joined to the communications session.
