  • Patent number: 10694145
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for presenting a portion of a first display on a second display positioned relative to the first display. An apparatus includes an information handling device that includes a processor, a display that is communicatively coupled to the processor, and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable to determine a position of the information handling device relative to a display that is external to the information handling device, determine at least a portion of information presented on the external display that corresponds to the position of the information handling device, and present, on the display of the information handling device, the determined at least a portion of the external display.
