Abstract
A method, machine and system enable the automated transfer of software applications between mobile devices that have different operating systems. A computer receives (1004) a first image of a first display screen of a first mobile device with at least one application (app) selection icon visible within the first image. The computer analyzes (1006) the first image to identify at least one software application from the at least one selection icon. The computer initiates (1022) a download of the at least one application identified to a second mobile device for installation of the at least one application on the second mobile device.
