  • Patent number: 10346122
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for using a supplemental display device in conjunction with a first device. The first device, hosting a communication and synchronization application, determines an indication as to a protocol used to perform mirroring. A packet is generated and transmitted from the first device to the supplemental device. A user selection of a second application hosted by the first device is detected. A determination is made as to whether the second application is to be executed by the supplemental device or by the first device. If the second application is to be executed by the first device, the second application is executed using the first device and the user interface of the second application is mirrored to the supplemental device using the protocol. If the second application is to be executed by the supplemental device, a command is transmitted from the first device to the supplemental device to execute the second application.

  • Publication number: 20180067713
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for using a supplementary display device in conjunction with a first device, where the first device may have a smaller display than the supplementary display device. Icon images corresponding to applications installed on the first device are accessed and wirelessly transmitted to the supplementary display device. Touch data, corresponding to a user touch input on a touchscreen of the supplementary display device, is received at the first device. The touch data includes coordinate data corresponding to the user touch input on a touchscreen of the supplementary display device. Based at least in part on the touch data, a determination is to be made as whether an application on the first device is to be launched. The application is launched on the first device and a user interface corresponding to the launched application is transmitted to the supplementary display device.

  • Patent number: 9720639
    Abstract: An electronic display replicator for a primary portable computing device may comprise a case, an electronic display screen coupled to the case, and a control system disposed within the case. The control system is configured to establish a wireless communication channel between the electronic display replicator and the primary portable computing device to allow the transposition of data from a display screen of the primary portable computing device onto the electronic display screen. The control system allows the electronic display screen of the electronic display replicator to act in place of the first display to operate and control the primary portable computing device.
