Abstract

Implementations generally relate to a user interaction platform. In some implementations, a method includes providing one or more target functions to a user interaction device, where the one or more target functions enable user interaction with a primary device. The method also includes receiving user-defined configuration information for the one or more target functions. The method also includes configuring the one or more target functions based on the user-defined configuration information.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

providing one or more target functions to a user interaction device, wherein the one or more target functions enable user interaction with at least one primary device;

receiving user-defined configuration information for the one or more target functions; and

configuring the one or more target functions based on the user-defined configuration information.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user interaction device is a tablet computer.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one primary device is a computer system that is remote from the user interaction device.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the user-defined configuration information configures the user interaction device for one or more target functions.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more target functions enable a user to interact with applications running on the at least one primary device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more target functions enable a user to control applications running on the at least one primary device.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving information associated with data and commands from the at least one primary device.

8. A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions thereon, the instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

providing one or more target functions to a user interaction device, wherein the one or more target functions enable user interaction with a primary device;

receiving user-defined configuration information for the one or more target functions; and

configuring the one or more target functions based on the user-defined configuration information.

9. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the user interaction device is a tablet computer.

10. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the at least one primary device is a computer system that is remote from the user interaction device.

11. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the user-defined configuration information configures the user interaction device for one or more target functions.

12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the one or more target functions enable a user to interact with applications running on the at least one primary device.

13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the one or more target functions enable a user to control applications running on the at least one primary device.

14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform operations comprising receiving information associated with data and commands from the at least one primary device.

15. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

logic encoded in one or more tangible media for execution by the one or more processors, and when executed operable to perform operations including;

providing one or more target functions to a user interaction device, wherein the one or more target functions enable user interaction with a primary device;

receiving user-defined configuration information for the one or more target functions; and

configuring the one or more target functions based on the user-defined configuration information.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the user interaction device is a tablet computer.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein the at least one primary device is a computer system that is remote from the user interaction device.

18. The system of claim 15, wherein the user-defined configuration information configures the user interaction device for one or more target functions.

19. The system of claim 15, wherein the one or more target functions enable a user to interact with applications running on the at least one primary device.

20. The system of claim 15, wherein the one or more target functions enable a user to control applications running on the at least one primary device.
