Abstract
In aspects of the disclosed technology, a processor receives a message containing updated content information and updated state information relating to an application of a first device and updates a peer table to reflect the updates. The processor outputs a message containing information related to the updated content and updated state to a second device, the message configured to cause the second device to update its lock screen to reflect the updated state information. The processor further updates the peer table upon receiving an update from the second device indicating that a user of the second device has selected the application. Finally, the processor outputs updated peer information to the first device that causes the first device to end content associated with the updated content information.
