Abstract
A method for displaying two different content items on a main display device and a remote device includes displaying content in a first display mode, generating a content switch event to switch from the first display mode to a second display mode, and displaying content in the second display mode. In the first display mode, a first content item is displayed on the main display device. In the second display mode, a second content item is displayed on the main display device, and the first content item is displayed on the remote device.
Claims27
In a system including a main display device and a portable remote device, a method comprising:
- in response to a content switch event at the portable remote device, switching a display of a first content item from the main display device to the portable remote device and switching a display of a second content item from the portable remote device to the main display device, wherein the content switch event includes at least one of:
- a timer expiration or an automatic content change detection.
A method for displaying two different content items on a main display device and a remote device, comprising:
- displaying content in a first display mode, including displaying a first content item on the main display device;
- generating a content switch event to switch from the first display mode to a second display mode, wherein the content switch event includes at least one of:
- a timer expiration or an automatic content change detection;
- and
- displaying content in the second display mode, including:
- displaying a second content item on the main display device;
- and
- displaying the first content item on the remote device.
A method for displaying two different content items, employing a main display device and a remote device, the method comprising:
- in a first mode, displaying a first content item on the main display device;
- and
- in a second mode, displaying the first content item on the remote device and displaying a second content item on the main display device responsive to a switch event, wherein the switch event includes at least one of:
- a timer expiration or an automatic content change detection.
A system for displaying two different content items on a main display device and a remote device, comprising:
- a main display device, configured to display a first content item in a first display mode;
- and
- a remote device, including:
- a display;
- and
- a content switch configured to generate a content switch event, to switch from the first display mode to a second display mode, in which the main display device displays a second content item and the remote device displays the first content item, wherein the content switch includes at least one of:
- a timer or an automatic content change detector.
A portable remote device, comprising:
- a content switch configured to generate a content switch event that initiates a switch of a display of a first content item from the portable remote device to a main display device and a display of a second content item from the main display device to the portable remote device, wherein the content switch includes at least one of:
- a timer or an automatic program change detector.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions for execution by a portable remote device, the set of instructions comprising:
- instructions that, when executed, manipulate the portable remote device to generate a content switch event that initiates a switch of a display of a first content item from the portable remote device to a main display device and a display of a second content item from the main display device to the portable remote device, wherein the content switch event includes at least one of:
- a timer expiration or an automatic content change detection.
