Apparatus, a method and a computer program

A method comprising:

• coupling an application and at least one local input/output device hosted by a local apparatus but not coupling the application and at least one remote input/output device hosted by another apparatus;
• in response to a proximity detection trigger, indicative that the another apparatus hosting the remote input/output device is available to be coupled to, coupling the application and the at least one local input/output device hosted by a local apparatus and coupling the application and the at least one remote input/output device hosted by the another apparatus,
• wherein the at least one local input/output device comprises a first display and the at least one remote input/output device comprises a second, different display,
• wherein the proximity detection trigger comprises a message produced in response to a proximity event,
• wherein the message has a standard format for conveying characteristics of the remote input/output device hosted by the another apparatus,
• wherein the characteristics of the remote input/output device hosted by the another apparatus comprise:
• position information, orientation information, display size information and display resolution information;
• and
• generating a viewing map comprised of first content of the first display and second content of the second display, wherein the second content is different to the first content, wherein the viewing map is a logical display formed from a combination of at least the first content of the first display and the second content of the second display and wherein at least one of the first content and second content is dependent on the relative positions of the first display and the second display.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
• coupling an application and at least one local input/output device hosted by a local apparatus but not coupling the application and at least one remote input/output device hosted by another apparatus;
• in response to a proximity detection trigger, indicative that the another apparatus hosting the remote input/output device is available to be coupled to, coupling the application and at least one local input/output device hosted by a local apparatus and coupling the application and the at least one remote input/output device hosted by another apparatus,
• wherein the at least one local input/output device comprises a first display and the at least one remote input/output device comprises a second, different display,
• wherein the proximity detection trigger comprises a message produced in response to a proximity event,
• wherein the message has a standard format for conveying characteristics of the remote input/output device hosted by the another apparatus,
• wherein the characteristics of the remote input/output device hosted by the another apparatus comprise:
• position information, orientation information, display size information and display resolution information;
• and
• generating a viewing map comprised of first content of the first display and second content of the second display, wherein the second content is different to the first content, wherein the viewing map is a logical display formed from a combination of at least the first content of the first display and the second content of the second display and wherein at least one of the first content and second content is dependent on the relative positions of the first display and the second display.
