Patent Images
1. A system for portraying a user interface, the system comprising:
- a primary device, the primary device having a display and a first interface;
a secondary device, the secondary device having a display and a second interface;
means for detecting when the first interface is connected to the second interface;
responsive to detecting that the primary device is connected to the secondary device, a means for communicatively coupling the primary device to the secondary device through the first and second interface; and
means for portraying a user interface of the primary device on the display of the secondary device.

Abstract
An application for a system for portraying a user interface of one device on another includes two devices, a primary device and a secondary device. Upon detection of the primary device, either within wireless range or direct connection, the devices communicate with each other, the secondary device portrays the user interface currently displayed on the primary device on a display of the secondary device. Thereafter, the primary device is controlled by user input devices interfaced to the secondary device that control the portrayed user interface
