Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for wirelessly communicating displayable information for display on an auxiliary display device. A primary display device comprising a first display and a first wireless modem generates displayable information. The availability of one or more auxiliary display devices and information is collected to determine which of the auxiliary display devices are supported by the primary display device. The power state of the primary display device is monitored. If it is operating in a full power state, a full auxiliary display output mode is maintained allowing all, or a subset, of the displayable information generated by the first display device to be displayed on supported auxiliary display devices. If it is operating in a low or off power state, a subset auxiliary display output mode is activated and a predetermined subset of the displayable information is displayed on the supported auxiliary display devices.
