  • Patent number: 12125456
    Abstract: An electronic device (e.g., smartphone) can be connected to an external display device, allowing the electronic device to display content on the external display device. The external display device can be a standalone display device or be part of another electronic device (e.g., a laptop or tablet). The electronic device supports multiple input styles including a gesture-based input style and a non-gesture-based input style. The electronic device adapts to the external display device by using the gesture-based input style if the external display device is touch enabled and using the non-gesture-based if the external display is not touch enabled. Additionally or alternatively, the external display device adapts to the input style being used by the electronic device by displaying an augmentation bar associated with the content and supporting the non-gesture-based input style when the external display device detects that the electronic device is using the gesture-based input style.
