Abstract
A method performed by a remote-control unit (RCU) of managing a content transfer to or from integrated output devices (IODs) in a physical room is disclosed. The content transfer involves moving application context of a computer application with which a user can interact, which includes a computer object being operated on and relevant metadata. The RCU is programmed to recognize simple user instructions for the content transfer and perform the content transfer from a source device to a target device in real time, regardless of data transfer protocols specific to computer applications. Specifically, the RCU is programmed to obtain source data from the source device, generate updated source data by combining the source data with one or more commands specifying how the source data is to be handled based on a session mode indicating a type of activity being performed in the physical room, and transmit the updated source data to the target device for further user interaction.
