Abstract
Display control of a portion of a document by primary and secondary display devices is described. In one or more implementations, an input is received to a user interface displaying a document on a primary display device to cause a display of a portion of the document on a secondary display device. A navigation input is then received that causes a navigation of the display of the document on the primary display device while the secondary display device continues to display the portion of the document.
Claims20
A method implemented by a computing device for controlling a view of a document, the method comprising:
- displaying, by the computing device, the document in a user interface on a primary display device;
- receiving, by the computing device, a user input via the user interface to cause display of a portion of the document by a secondary display device;
- causing, by the computing device, the secondary display device to display the portion of the document responsive to the receiving of the user input by the computing device;
- and
- responsive to receipt by the computing device of a navigation input via the user interface to navigate the display of the document on the primary display device:
- navigating the display of the document on the primary display device;
- and
- continuing the display of the portion of the document on the secondary display device during the navigating.
At least one computer-readable storage media device comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by a processing system, causes the processing system to perform operations comprising:
- displaying a document in a user interface on the primary display device;
- receiving a user input via the user interface to cause display of a portion of the document by the secondary display device;
- responsive to the receiving of the user input, causing the secondary display device to display the portion of the document;
- responsive to receipt of a navigation input via the user interface to navigate the display of the document on the primary display device, navigating the display of the document on the primary display device;
- and
- continuing the display of the portion of the document on the secondary display device.
A system of controlling a view of a document, the system comprising:
- a primary display device;
- a computing device configured for displaying a document on the primary display device;
- a secondary display device in communication with the computing device;
- the computing device comprising:
- a means for displaying the document within a user interface on the primary display device;
- and
- a means for causing a display of a portion of the document on the secondary display device responsive to receiving an input to the user interface to display the portion of the document on the secondary display device;
- and
- responsive to receipt of a navigation input via the user interface, a means for causing the primary display device to navigate the display of the document on the primary display device, while causing the secondary display device to continue to display the portion of the document independent from that navigation.
