Device, system and method for generating data

1. A device comprising:

a processor and a display coupled to the processor, the processor being configured to:

based on a short-range wireless communication connection, determine a distance between the another device and the device,

communicate a value of the distance to the another device,

when the value of the distance becomes greater than a predetermined value, receive link data from the another device, the link data including data pertaining to visual appearance of an application being executed on the another device,

determine that the link data includes data for launching an application,

communicate to the another device one of:

that the device is capable of launching the application, wherein, in response, the another device does not output to the device additional data pertaining to visual appearance of an application being executed on the another device, and

that the device is not capable of launching the application, wherein, in response, the another device outputs to the device additional data pertaining to visual appearance of an application being executed on the another device, and

output the data pertaining to visual appearance of an application being executed on the another device to the display of the device.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the link data includes one or more of application type, contents of a user editable field, displayed icons, and user settings.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device is a tablet computer.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the another device is a smartphone.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined value is 1 meter.

6. A method for a device including a processor and a display, the method comprising:

the device establishing a short range wireless communication connection between the device and another device;

the device transferring capability data of the device to the another device as part of establishing the short-range wireless communication connection with the another device, the capability data including processing capability of the device and resolution of the display of the device;

based on the capability data received by the another device from the device, the another device determining a type of link data that should be generated;

the another device generating link data that includes data for launching an application;

the device communicating to the another device one of:

that the device is capable of launching the application, wherein, in response, the another device does not output to the device data pertaining to visual appearance of the application, and

that the device is not capable of launching the application, wherein, in response, the another device outputs to the device data pertaining to visual appearance of the application; and

the device outputting the data pertaining to visual appearance of the application to the display of the device.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the link data includes one or more of application type, contents of a user editable field, displayed icons, and user settings.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the device is a tablet computer.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the another device is a smartphone.

10. A computer-readable, non-transitory medium storing executable instructions which, when executed, cause a processor of a device to perform a method according to claim 6 .

11. The method of claim 6 , including the steps of:

the another device determining a distance between the another device and the device; and

the another device outputting link data to the device when the distance becomes greater than a predetermined value.

12. A system comprising:

a first device including a first processor and a first display coupled to the first processor, the first processor being configured to:

wirelessly transfer capability data of the first device to the second device, the capability data including processing capability of the first device and resolution of the first display, the second device including a second processor and a second display coupled to the second processor, the second processor being configured to:

generate data pertaining to visual appearance of an application being executed on the second device,

based at least in part on the capability data, generate link data pertaining to the application, the link data including the data pertaining to visual appearance of an application being executed on the second device,

based on a signal strength of the short-range wireless communication connection, determine a distance between the first device and the second device,

when the distance becomes greater than a predetermined value, transfer the link data to the first device, and

in response to the link data, the first device communicates to the second device one of:

that the first device is capable of launching the application, and, in response, the second device does not output to the first device additional data pertaining to visual appearance of an application being executed on the second device, and

that the first device is not capable of launching the application, and, in response, the second device continues to output to the first device additional data pertaining to visual appearance of an application being executed on the second device.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the first device is a tablet computer and the second device is a smartphone.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the link data includes one or more of application type, contents of a user editable field, displayed icons, and user settings.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the predetermined value is 1 meter.
