Abstract: When the two electronic devices are connected (e.g., wired or wireless connection), a determination is made as to whether a contextual state of at least one of the electronic devices (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) indicates that a virtual view of the electronic device is to be displayed by the other electronic device. The contextual state may include, for example, whether the displays of the two electronic devices are spatially aligned, whether the one electronic device is upside down, whether a display of the one electronic device is turned off, and so forth. The virtual view of the electronic device is a display of the user interface of the electronic device, allowing a user to interact with the electronic device via the virtual view of the electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic device, a method, and a computer program product provides freeze frame videos in place of a live video feed to a video communication session. A processor of the electronic device determines that a local participant is connected via the electronic device to an ongoing video communication session with second participants having corresponding second participant devices. The processor captures, via an image capturing device, local video encompassing the local participant. The processor determines a video segment of the local video to identify as a freeze frame video. The processor presents the freeze frame video to the video communication session in response to a trigger condition that pauses a presentation of live video feed of the local participant to the video communication session. The processor loops the presentation of the freeze frame video until an expiration of a threshold maximum time established for presenting the freeze frame video.

Abstract: An electronic device (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) can be connected to another electronic 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 devices are connected, a single input control device (e.g., a trackpad on a laptop or a mouse) can be used to control user input for both devices. Whether a single input control device can be used to control user input for both devices is determined based at least in part on whether the displays of the two electronic devices are spatially aligned, such as whether the displays are positioned at approximately the same angle relative to a surface (e.g., the horizon) and are facing approximately the same direction.

Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product support sharing of a cross-view by a first communication device in a communication session with a second communication device. First semantic inputs by a first participant are communicated to the second communication device for presenting to a second participant. Second semantic inputs by the second participant are communicated to the first communication device for presenting to the first participant. The first communication device presents first visual content selected by the first participant. The second communication device presents second visual content presented by the second participant. In response to determining that the semantic input(s) are associated with the visual content, the first communication device communicates a duplicate copy of the first visual content to the second communication device.

Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product support automatically selecting cross-view screen sharing for a secure peer-to-peer application during a communication session. A processor of a first electronic device executes application(s) to present a first user interface at a first display of the first electronic device. The first electronic device establishes a secure peer-to-peer connection for wireless communication, via a communication subsystem, with a second electronic device having a second display. The first electronic device enables a cross-view mode. The electronic device transmits a duplicate copy of the first user interface to the second electronic device for presenting at the second display. The first electronic device receives, from the second electronic device, a duplicate copy of a second user interface being presented at the second display.

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. The relative location of one of the electronic devices relative to the other of the electronic devices is automatically determined by analyzing changes in the gaze of the user of the electronic devices. An indication of the position of one of the electronic devices relative to the other is then displayed on one of the electronic devices.

The one or more processors, in response to the communication device identifying a port establishing a display data channel, causing the communication device to transmit an extended display identification (EDID) extension or second-generation EDID file structure comprising a wearable glass projection device content rendering parameter, which can be expressed as a field of view or pixel density.

Abstract: Techniques for guidance image generation for a mobile device are described and are implementable to generate a guidance image for display by a first device based on digital content displayed by a second device. For instance, a mobile device executes and controls a gaming application, and communicates digital content from the application to a display device. A screenshot of the digital content displayed by the remote display device is captured, and based on the screenshot the mobile device generates a guidance image. The guidance image depicts one or more touchpoints of the application, and is displayed by the mobile device. The mobile device is further operable to terminate display of the guidance image, such as based on receipt of an instance proximity-based input. The mobile device recalls the guidance image subsequent to termination of display, such as based on a user request to recall the guidance image.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a communication device and a user interface. The communication device detects establishment of an electrical communication channel to a content presentation companion device. One or more processors operable with the communication device and the user interface cause the communication device to query the content presentation companion device for a content presentation companion device port facilitating the electrical communication channel and, in response, cause the user interface to identify the content presentation companion device port.

Abstract: A computer system displays a first object that includes at least a first portion of the first object and a second portion of the first object and detects a first gaze input that meets first criteria, wherein the first criteria require that the first gaze input is directed to the first portion of the first object in order for the first criteria to be met. In response, the computer system displays a first control element that corresponds to a first operation associated with the first object, wherein the first control element was not displayed prior to detecting that the first gaze input met the first criteria, and detects a first user input directed to the first control element. In response to detecting the first user input directed to the first control element, the computer system performs the first operation with respect to the first object.

Abstract: An electronic device, a method, and a computer program product provides freeze frame videos in place of a live video feed or a low-quality video feed to a video communication session. The electronic device hosts the video communication session between a first participant device and second participant devices.
