Abstract
In example embodiments, a system and method for managing switching between devices are provided. A consolidated catalog of applications available on devices coupled to a master device is maintained. The consolidated catalog of applications is graphically presented on a screen controlled by the master device. A selection of an application from the consolidated catalog of applications is received via a control device. Based on the selected application being located at a device coupled to the master device, input is automatically switched from the master device to the device having the selected application. As a result, a display corresponding to the selected application is presented on the screen.
