  • Publication number: 20130181905
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a touch screen, a virtual keyboard projector, and a content projector. When a first touch gesture is detected by the touch screen, the virtual keyboard projector produces a projected virtual keyboard. An input content is obtained through the projected virtual keyboard and transmitted to a remote electronic device through a communication interface. The electronic device receives a messaging content from the remote electronic device. When a second touch gesture is detected by the touch screen, the content projector projects a projected display and presents the messaging content in the projected display. A method of managing instant messaging in the electronic device is also provided.
