Systems and methods for a supplemental display screen

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• determining by a first device, hosting a communication and synchronization application, configuration data for the first device, the configuration data comprising at least an indication as to a protocol used by the first device to perform mirroring;
• generating and wirelessly transmitting a packet, comprising at least the indication as to the protocol used by the first device to perform mirroring, from the first device to a supplemental display device;
• detecting, by the first device using the communication and synchronization application, a user selection of a second application hosted by the first device;
• automatically determining whether the second application is to be executed by the supplemental display device or by the first device;
• if the determination is that the second application is to be executed by the first device, executing the second application using the first device and mirroring user interfaces of the second application to the supplemental display device using the protocol;
• and
• if the determination is that the second application is to be executed by the supplemental display device, transmitting a command from the first device to the supplemental display device to execute the second application.

Non-transitory memory that stores instructions that when executed by a computing system cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:

• determining configuration data for the computer system, the configuration data comprising at least an indication as to a protocol used by the computer system to perform mirroring;
• wirelessly transmitting via a first of the wireless network interfaces, the indication as to the protocol used by the computer system to perform mirroring, to a remote display device;
• detecting a user selection of a first application;
• automatically determining whether the first application is to be executed by the remote display device or by the computer system;
• if the determination is that the first application is to be executed by the computer system, executing the first application and mirroring user interfaces of the first application to the remote display device using the protocol;
• and
• if the determination is that the first application is to be executed by the remote display device, transmitting a command to the remote display device to execute the first application.
