APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING FOR REMOTE USER INTERACTION
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- establish a communications link with a remote user interface;
determine whether the remote user interface is configured to detect a user input at least partially received in a boundary area outside an active display area of the remote user interface; and
provide for a replicated active display area and a replicated boundary area in response to a determination that the remote user interface is configured to detect a user input at least partially received in the boundary area of the remote user interface,wherein a user input at least partially received in the replicated boundary area and at least partially received in the replicated active display area invokes execution of a predetermined operation.

Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer program product are described that provide for a replicated user interface, including a replicated active display area and a replicated boundary area, such that the replicated user interface can recognize the same types of user inputs that are recognized by a remote user interface, and the same operations may be executed upon receipt of such inputs. The apparatus can establish a communications link with the remote user interface and determine whether the remote user interface is configured to detect a user input at least partially received in a boundary area outside an active display area of the remote user interface. A replicated active display area and a replicated boundary area may then be provided for in response to a determination that the remote user interface is configured to detect a user input at least partially received in the boundary area of the remote user interface.

15. A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code portions stored therein, the computer-executable program code portions comprising program code instructions for:
-
establishing a communications link with a remote user interface; determining whether the remote user interface is configured to detect a user input at least partially received in a boundary area outside an active display area of the remote user interface; and providing for a replicated active display area and a replicated boundary area in response to a determination that the remote user interface is configured to detect a user input at least partially received in the boundary area of the remote user interface, wherein a user input at least partially received in the replicated boundary area and at least partially received in the replicated active display area invokes execution of a predetermined operation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
