Abstract
A first device presents first information that is associated with a first mode of operation. The first device receives a communication from a second device that is communicably coupled to the first device. The communication instructs the first device to perform an operation corresponding to an event associated with the second device. In response to receiving the communication from the second device, the first device presents second information that is associated with a second mode of operation corresponding to the event associated with the second device. The second information is presented by the first device concurrent with a processing associated with the event that is performed by the second device.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- presenting, by a first device, first information that is associated with a first mode of operation;
- receiving, at the first device, a communication from a second device that is communicably coupled to the first device, the communication including instructions that direct the first device to perform an operation corresponding to an event associated with the second device;
- and
- in response to receiving the communication from the second device, presenting, by the first device, second information that is associated with a second mode of operation corresponding to the event associated with the second device, wherein the second information is presented by the first device corresponding to a processing associated with the event that is performed by the second device.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are configured to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- presenting, by a first device, first information that is associated with a first mode of operation;
- receiving, at the first device, a communication from a second device that is communicably coupled to the first device, the communication including instructions that direct the first device to perform an operation corresponding to an event associated with the second device;
- and
- in response to receiving the communication from the second device, presenting, by the first device, second information that is associated with a second mode of operation corresponding to the event associated with the second device, wherein the second information is presented by the first device corresponding to a processing associated with the event that is performed by the second device.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- instructions stored in a machine-readable medium for execution by the one or more processors that, when executed, are configured to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- presenting, by a first device, first information that is associated with a first mode of operation;
- receiving, at the first device, a communication from a second device that is communicably coupled to the first device, the communication including instructions that direct the first device to perform an operation corresponding to an event associated with the second device;
- and
- in response to receiving the communication from the second device, presenting, by the first device, second information that is associated with a second mode of operation corresponding to the event associated with the second device, wherein the second information is presented by the first device corresponding to a processing associated with the event that is performed by the second device.
