Systems and methods for a supplemental display screen
First Claim
1. A supplemental display device configured to be used with a first computing device having a first display, comprising:
- a casing;
a touchscreen display;
a control system disposed within the casing and electrically coupled to the touchscreen display, wherein the control system is configured to perform operations comprising;
establish a direct wireless connection with the first computing device;
access, using the direct wireless connection, information regarding an operating system utilized by the first computing device;
determine activity on the first computing device and/or the supplemental display device;
using the determined activity on the first computing device and/or the supplemental display device, determine whether the first computing device is to be placed in a reduced power consumption mode;
using the information regarding an operating system utilized by the first computing device, determine what commands are to be used to reduce power consumption by the first computing device; and
at least partly in response to a determination that the first computing device is to be placed in a reduced power consumption mode, transmit, via the direct wireless connection, the determined commands to the first computing device to reduce power consumption of the first computing device.

Abstract
A supplemental display device is configured to be used with a first computing device having a first display. The supplemental display device has a touchscreen display and a control system. The control system is configured to wirelessly connect with the first computing device, access application icons from the first computing device, the icons corresponding to applications installed on the first computing device, display the application icons on the touchscreen display, detect an orientation of the supplemental display device, orient the application icons on the touchscreen display in accordance with the detected orientation of the supplemental display device and independent of an orientation of the first computing device, capture a user input on the touchscreen display, transmit the user input to the first computing device, and wirelessly receive content transmitted from the first computing device, wherein the content is transmitted from the first computing device at least partly in response to the captured user input.

16. A computer implemented comprising:
-
establishing a direct wireless connection between a supplemental display device and a first computing device; accessing, by the supplemental display device, using the direct wireless connection, information regarding an operating system utilized by the first computing device; determining, by the supplemental display device, activity on the first computing device and/or the supplemental display device; using the determined activity on the first computing device and/or the supplemental display device, determining whether the first computing device is to be placed in a reduced power consumption mode; using the information regarding an operating system utilized by the first computing device, determining, by the supplemental display device, what commands are to be used to reduce power consumption by the first computing device; and at least partly in response to a determination that the first computing device is to be placed in a reduced power consumption mode, transmitting, via the direct wireless connection, the determined commands from the supplemental display device to the first computing device to reduce power consumption by the first computing device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. Non-transitory computer-readable media including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by computer system, cause the computer system to at least:
-
establish a wireless connection with the first computing device; access, using the wireless connection, information regarding an operating system utilized by the first computing device; determine activity on the first computing device and/or the supplemental display device; using the determined activity on the first computing device and/or the supplemental display device, determine whether the first computing device is to be placed in a reduced power consumption mode; using the information regarding an operating system utilized by the first computing device, determine what commands are to be used to reduce power consumption by the first computing device; and at least partly in response to a determination that the first computing device is to be placed in a reduced power consumption mode, transmit, via the wireless connection, the determined commands to the first computing device to reduce power consumption by the first computing device. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30)
