Abstract

A device to render a user interface, detect a user accessing a location of the a user interface, share a portion of the user interface for a second device to render a second user interface, and transmit information of the accessed location for the second device to render a visual indicator at a location of the second user interface based on the information of the accessed location.

Claims

1. A device comprising:

a display component to display a user interface;

a sensor to detect a location of the user interface accessed by a user;

a controller to share a portion of the user interface with a second device; and

a communication component to transmit information of the accessed location to a second device for the second device to render a visual indicator at a location of a second user interface based on the information of the accessed location.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein a portion of the user interface includes at least one of a document, a media, and an application rendered on the user interface which the user is accessing.

3. The device of claim 1 wherein the information of the accessed location Includes a coordinate of the user interface accessed by the user for the second device to use as the location of the second user interface.

4. The device of claim 1 wherein the information of the accessed location specifies a type of visual indicator for the second device to use as the visual indicator rendered on the second user interface.

5. The device of claim 1 wherein the second device renders the visual indicator by modifying the second user interface to include a visual mark at the location of the second user interface.

6. The device of claim 1 wherein second device renders the visual indicator by magnifying or animating the location of the second user interface based on the information of the accessed location.

7. The device of claim 1 wherein the sensor includes at least one of a touch screen, an image capture component of the device, a radar, and a proximity sensor.

8. The device of claim 1 wherein the communication component includes at least one of a network interface component, a radio component, an Infrared component, and a Bluetooth component.

9. A method for managing a device comprising:

rendering a user interface on a display component of a device;

detecting a user accessing a location of the user interface;

sharing a portion of the user interface for a second device to render a second user interface; and

transmitting information of the accessed location for the second device to render a visual indicator at a location of the second user interface based on the information of the accessed location.

10. The method for managing a device of claim 9 further comprising capturing a message associated with the accessed location in response to detecting the user accessing a location of the user interface.

11. The method for managing the device of claim 10 wherein the information of the accessed location includes the message from the user.

12. The method for managing a device of claim 9 further comprising detecting information of an accessed location from the second device in response to another user accessing a location of the second user interface.

13. The method for managing a device of claim 12 further comprising rendering a visual indicator at a location of the user interface based on the information of the accessed location from the second device.

14. The method for managing a device of claim 13 wherein rendering the visual indicator includes rendering at least one of a visual mark at the location of the user interface, animating the location of the user interface, and magnifying the location of the user interface based on the information of the second accessed location.

15. The method for managing the device of claim 9 wherein the information the accessed location includes the coordinate of the accessed location of the user interface.

16. The method for managing the device of claim 15 wherein the information of the accessed location includes an object rendered at the coordinate of the user interface.

17. The method for managing the device of claim 9 wherein the information of the accessed location includes a resolution of the user interface.

18. A computer readable medium comprising instructions that if executed cause a controller to:

render a user interface on a display component of a device;

detect a user accessing a location of the a user interface;

share with a second device a portion the user interface of the device; and

transmit information of the accessed location for the second device to render a visual indicator at a location of the second user interface based on the information of the accessed location.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 18 wherein the controller shares with the second device a video stream of the user interface for the second device to use as the second user interface when sharing a portion of the user interface.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 19 wherein the controller shares with the second device a file of an object displayed on the user interface for the second device to include on the second user interface.
