Abstract

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for data session handoff using bone conduction. According to one aspect, a first user device can receive a handoff request from a second user device. The handoff request can instruct the first user device to hand off an active data session to the second user device. The handoff request can be received by the first user device via a bone conduction signal that propagated through a bone of a user that is in physical contact with the first user device and the second user device. The first user device also can initiate handoff of the active data session to the second user device in response to the handoff request.
