1. A method comprising:
- displaying a user interface on a display device associated with a client device, said user interface enabling user interaction with said client device;
enabling an electronic device having a rendering screen to control said client device;
after said enabling, detecting a current orientation of said electronic device;
in response to said detected current orientation;
enabling a first operating mode if said detected current orientation corresponds to a first orientation of said electronic device, said first operating mode enabling a user of said electronic device to interact with said user interface displayed on said display device; and
enabling a second operating mode if said detected current orientation corresponds to a second orientation of said electronic device, said second operating mode comprising;
rendering said user interface on said rendering screen of said electronic device; and
enabling a user of said electronic device to interact with said user interface rendered on said rendering screen.

11. A system comprising:
-
a client device; a display device associated with said client device and operable to display a user interface, said user interface enabling user interaction with said client device; and an electronic device operable to control said client device, said electronic device comprising;
an orientation module operable to detect a current orientation said electronic device, and a rendering screen;wherein, in response to a current orientation detected by said orientation module, said electronic device is further operable to;
enable a first operating mode when said detected current orientation corresponds to a first orientation of said electronic device, said first operating mode enabling a user to interact with said user interface displayed on said display device; and
enable a second operating mode when said detected current orientation corresponds to a second orientation of said electronic device, said second operating mode comprising;
rendering said user interface on said rendering screen and enabling a user of said electronic device to interact with said user interface rendered on said rendering screen. - View Dependent Claims (12)
