First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by processor executable middleware in a multi-display communication device, a command to maximize a set of related windows from a common multi-screen application, the set of related windows comprising a higher level window and a first lower level window at least one of displayed and to be displayed by different touch sensitive displays;
selecting, by the processor executable middleware, a predetermined touch sensitive display for displaying one of the higher and first lower level window and causing the other of the higher and first lower level window to be displayed on the other touch sensitive display;
receiving, by the processor executable middleware, a selection of an item displayed in the higher level window; and
in response, opening and displaying, by the processor executable middleware and in the touch sensitive display displaying the first lower level window, a second lower level window comprising the selected item.
