Peripheral display devices

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least:

• cause a perimeter outline of a peripheral display information detection zone to be displayed within a display region of a main screen of a monitor, the perimeter outline covering less than an entirety of the display area of the main screen;
• access peripheral display information in a designated peripheral display area of a frame buffer memory in response to detecting a presence of display information in a main frame buffer in the peripheral display information detection zone, the designated peripheral display area being a sub-area of the frame buffer memory;
• cause a peripheral information display device to display the peripheral display information from the designated peripheral display area of the frame buffer memory, the peripheral information display device being separate from the main screen;
• update the peripheral display information in the frame buffer memory based on a user interaction with the peripheral display information;
• and
• cause the peripheral information display device to display the updated peripheral display information from the designated peripheral display area of the frame buffer memory.

A method to display information from a computer system, comprising:

• causing a perimeter outline of a peripheral display information detection zone to be displayed within a display region of a main screen of a monitor, the perimeter outline covering less than an entirety of the display area of the main screen;
• accessing peripheral display information in a designated peripheral display area of a frame buffer memory in response to detecting a presence of display information in a main frame buffer memory in the peripheral display information detection zone, the designated peripheral display area being a sub-area of the frame buffer memory;
• causing a peripheral information display device to display the peripheral display information from the designated peripheral display area of the frame buffer memory, the peripheral information display device being separate from the main screen;
• determining user input coordinates based on a user interaction with the peripheral display information;
• sending the user input coordinates to a computer;
• updating the peripheral display information from the computer to the frame buffer memory;
• and
• causing the updated peripheral display information from the designated peripheral display area of the frame buffer memory to be displayed via the peripheral information display device.
