Smartpad smartdock
First Claim
1. A smartpad comprising:
- a display;
an interface adapted to receive a dual touch screen device, wherein content from the dual touch screen device is displayable on the display of the smartpad;
middleware implemented as a multi-display management class on the dual touch screen device that includes one or more modules adapted to manage the display of the content from the dual touch screen device on the display of the smartpad; and
a capacitive button on the smartpad that toggles between one or more application modes on the smartpad for at least one application running on the dual screen device, the one or more application modes including a single application mode and a multiple application mode, the single application mode showing one application fully on the display, the multiple application mode emulating on the display the dual touch screens of the dual touch screen device when the dual touch screen device is in an open state.

Abstract
A multi-display device is adapted to be dockable or otherwise associatable with an additional device. In accordance with one exemplary embodiment, the multi-display device is dockable with a smartpad. The exemplary smartpad can include a screen, a touch sensitive display, a configurable area, a gesture capture region(s) and a camera. The smartpad can also include a port adapted to receive the device. The exemplary smartpad is able to cooperate with the device such that information displayable on the device is also displayable on the smartpad. Furthermore, any one or more of the functions on the device are extendable to the smartpad, with the smartpad capable of acting as an input/output interface or extension of the smartpad. Therefore, for example, information from one or more of the displays on the multi-screen device is displayable on the smartpad.
