METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DELEGATING FUNCTIONALITY BASED ON AVAILABILITY

A method and system for delegating functionality in a delegate computing device is described herein. The delegate computing device may have access to first content while in a normal operation state. The method includes the steps of receiving a delegation notification and-in response to the receipt of the delegation notification-transitioning the delegate computing device from the normal operation state to a delegation state. While in the delegation state, the delegate computing device may have access to second content that is associated with a primary computing device. The method also includes the steps of receiving a cessation notification and-in response to the receipt of the cessation notification-transitioning the delegate computing device from the delegation state back to the normal operation state. While back in the normal operation state, the delegate computing device no longer has access to at least some portion of the second content.
