Samsung patents home screen sharing solution


Samsung has patented a new solution for saving and transferring your home-screen designs from one device to another. The company is aiming at making the transfer simple and easy.

The main aim of the solution is to save the users from the tedious process of installing the apps and setting them up as per your liking. Users can select from a number of saved home-screen setups and use them according to their needs. As the service will work on cloud, the two handsets do not need to be physically next to each other.

Home launcher apps like Nova launcher, Apex launcher and others offer the option of backing up your home screens in case of  a change of the handset. The home screen sharing feature will mostly be restricted to Samsung devices but again there can be other possibilities as well.
