System and method for displaying a user interface across multiple electronic devices

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions for displaying a user interface using multiple electronic devices, the computer executable instructions comprising instructions for:

• providing a first user interface framework on a first electronic device having a first display screen, the first user interface framework for handling user interface operations and decisions on behalf of at least one application on the first electronic device independent of device platform;
• the first user interface framework determining that a second display screen on a second electronic device is available via a connection between the first and second electronic devices;
• the first user interface framework obtaining application logic from an application on the first electronic device and using the application logic to determine, for the application, a first user interface portion to be displayed on the first display screen and a second user interface portion to be displayed on the second display screen;
• the first user interface framework displaying for the application, the first user interface portion on the first display screen;
• and
• the first user interface framework providing data associated with the second user interface portion to the second electronic device to enable the second user interface portion to be displayed, for the application, on the second display screen.

A first electronic device comprising a processor, memory, and a display, the memory comprising computer executable instructions for displaying a user interface using multiple electronic devices, the computer executable instructions comprising instructions for:

• providing a first user interface framework on a first electronic device having a first display screen, the first user interface framework for handling user interface operations and decisions on behalf of at least one application on the first electronic device independent of device platform;
• the first user interface framework determining that a second display screen on a second electronic device is available via a connection between the first and second electronic devices;
• the first user interface framework obtaining application logic from an application on the first electronic device and using the application logic to determine, for the application, a first user interface portion to be displayed on the first display screen and a second user interface portion to be displayed on the second display screen;
• the first user interface framework displaying for the application, the first user interface portion on the first display screen;
• and
• the first user interface framework providing data associated with the second user interface portion to the second electronic device to enable the second user interface portion to be displayed, for the application, on the second display screen.
