US 2013/0159565 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DATA TRANSFER OF TOUCH SCREEN EVENTS BETWEEN DEVICES

Abstract

Methods of processing touch screen events include generating a touch-enabled user interface (UI) with a source device that provides a source of content for being rendered on a separate rendering device having a touch-enabled display surface. Digital data is transferred from the source device to the rendering device via a communication link, such as a HDMI cable. The data transferred includes data providing the touch-enabled UI. Information is received by the source device via the communication link concerning touch screen events occurring on the touch-enabled UI rendered on the touch-enabled display surface of the rendering device. The touch screen events that are received from the rendering device are processed by the source device. Apparatus is also disclosed.

Dependent claims

A method of processing touch screen events, comprising the steps of:

generating a touch-enabled user interface (UI) with a first electronic device that provides a source of content for being rendered on a separate second electronic device having a touch-enabled display surface;
transferring digital data from the first electronic device to the second electronic device via a communication link, the data including data providing the touch-enabled UI generated during said generating step;
receiving information with the first electronic device via the communication link concerning touch screen events occurring on the touch-enabled UI rendered on the touch-enabled display surface of the second electronic device;
and
processing the touch screen events, received during said receiving step, with the first electronic device.
