US Patent 11563815 Session passing between smart devices

Systems and methods are described for passing a session between smart devices. A user can initiate a session on a first smart device. The first smart device can detect the user exiting a detection area associated with the first smart device. The first smart device can pause the session and notify a server. The server can instruct a device of the user to listen for a device identifier of a second smart device. The second smart device can detect the user entering a detection area and broadcast a device identifier. The user device can receive the device identifier and send it to the server. The server can verify the device identifier and send a credential to the user device. The user device can send the credential to the second smart device. The second smart device can authenticate with the server using the credential. The second smart device can then continue the session.
