Abstract: An electronic device (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) can be connected to another electronic device that is typically a computing device (e.g., a mobile device such as a laptop or a non-mobile device such as a desktop computer or workstation), allowing the electronic devices to be used together. This connection can be a wired connection or a wireless connection. When the electronic device and the computing device are connected, and optionally also when a universal control mode is activated, the electronic device automatically operates in a non-gesture-based input style, allowing a single input control device (e.g., a trackpad on a laptop) to control user input for both devices.

Abstract: Techniques for connectivity session between devices based on a connectivity trigger are described and may be implemented to enable a first device (e.g., a mobile device) to provide network connectivity for a second device. Generally, the described implementations enable multiple different connectivity triggers to be utilized to trigger a connectivity session between devices, such as for enabling network connectivity of a first device to be provided to a second device.
