Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: determining a service type of a first application for interacting with a first pairing device; determining a second application for interacting with a second pairing device in which the second application is also of the service type; selecting the second application with the second application meeting or exceeding a selection condition, otherwise the first application is selected; and generating an execution result for executing the second application for displaying on the first pairing device.

13. The method as claimed in claim 8 further comprising:

receiving a command input for interacting with the first pairing device; and

controlling the second pairing device based on the command input for displaying on the first pairing device, the second pairing device, or a combination thereof.

14. The method as claimed in claim 8 further comprising:

receiving a command input for interacting with the second pairing device; and

controlling the first pairing device based on the command input for displaying on the first pairing device, the second pairing device, or a combination thereof.
