  • Publication number: 20130290882
    Abstract: A method displays a graphical user interface of a portable computation unit on an external display unit, which has a native resolution and a native aspect ratio. An operating system of the portable computation unit is emulated on an external computation unit in an emulation. Input of user inputs is received into the portable computation unit and transmitted to the emulations. The user inputs are interpreted in the emulation. An emulated user interface of the portable computation unit is produced. The emulated user interface is transmitted in the form of graphics data to the external display unit and displayed on the external display unit.
