Abstract
An accessory computing device or display detachable from another computing device such as a mobile computing device. The accessory computing device displays data from the mobile computing device including notifications relating to electronic mail messages, voice mail messages, stock prices, sports scores, etc. A user interacts with the accessory computing device to control the mobile computing device by, for example, replying to messages, controlling a game executing on the mobile computing device, or silencing a ringer on the mobile computing device. In some embodiments, a plurality of the accessory computing devices interact with the same mobile computing device (e.g., in a multi-player game or device location tracking application executing on the mobile computing device).
