Abstract
A system includes a cloud server component, operative to associate a plurality of devices with a single network identifier and define a network including each device. The cloud server component obtains and stores a device profile for each device, maintains a database including the stored device profiles and that has context activity information for each device, and receives updates of the context activity information from each device. A service module installed on each device of the network communicates with the cloud server component and is operative to monitor a respective device for context activity changes, provide updates of the respective device context activity to the cloud server component, and perform a context activity handoff with any one of the devices of the network that is a context active device, in response to context activity changes or status changes of the context active device recorded in the database.
