Abstract
A device is described. The device comprising: a first processor and a first display coupled to the first processor, the first processor being configured to generate first display data, pertaining to elements of a first active application currently being executed on the device, for display on the first display, and generate link data pertaining to a subset of the elements of the first active application; wherein the first processor is configured to output the generated link data to a second display. A system and method are also described.
Claims29
A device comprising:
- a first processor and a first display coupled to the first processor, the first processor being configured to:
- generate first display data, pertaining to elements of a first active application currently being executed on the device, for display on the first display,
- generate link data pertaining to a subset of the elements of the first active application,
- determine whether the first display data can be properly displayed on the first display, and
- output the link data to a second display if the first display data cannot be properly displayed on the first display,
- wherein the first processor is configured to receive capability data from the second display and to generate the link data based on the received capability data.
A system comprising a first device and a second device in communication with the first device,
- the first device including a first processor and a first display coupled to the first processor, the first processor being configured to:
- filter application data of a first active application to only include the application data that cannot be viewed on the first display,
- generate first display data, pertaining to elements of the first active application currently being executed on the first device,
- storing elements of the first active application within a memory of the first device for a given period,
- generate link data pertaining to a subset of the elements of the first active application, and
- output, prior to elapse of the given period, the link data to the second device;
- and
- the second device including a second processor and a second display coupled to the second processor, the second processor being configured to:
- receive the link data from the first device, and
- output display data to the second display based on the link data,
- wherein the first processor receives capability data from the second display and generates the link data based on the received capability data.
A method for a device comprising the steps of:
- generating first display data, pertaining to elements of a first active application currently being executed on the device;
- determining that the first display data cannot be displayed on a first display;
- storing elements of the first active application within a memory of the device for a given period of time;
- receiving capability data from a second display;
- generating link data pertaining to a subset of the elements of the first active application, the link data based on the received capability data;
- and
- outputting, at any time during the given period, the link data to the second display.
A method for a system comprising a first device and a second display in communication with the first device, the method comprising the steps of:
- the first device generating display data, pertaining to elements of an active application currently being executed on the first device;
- the first device generating link data pertaining to a subset of the elements of the active application;
- the first device determining whether the display data can be properly displayed on a display of the first device;
- and
- the first device outputting the link data to a second display if the display data cannot be properly displayed on the first display,
- wherein the first device is configured to receive capability data from the second display and to generate the link data based on the received capability data.
A computer-readable, non-transitory medium comprising executable instructions which, when executed, cause a processor to perform a method comprising the steps of:
- generating display data, pertaining to elements of an active application currently being executed on a device, for presentation on a display of the device;
- generating link data pertaining to a subset of the elements of the active application;
- determining whether the display data can be properly displayed on the display of the device;
- and
- outputting the link data to a second display if the display data cannot be properly displayed on the display of the device,
- wherein the device is configured to receive capability data from the second display and to generate the link data based on the received capability data.
