System and method for displaying a user interface across multiple electronic devices
First Claim
1. A method of displaying a user interface using multiple electronic devices, the method comprising:
- receiving from a first user interface framework on a first electronic device, at a second user interface framework on a second electronic device, data associated with a second user interface portion to be displayed by the second electronic device, the data being received via a connection between the first and second electronic devices, the first electronic device having a first user interface framework and having a first display screen, the first user interface framework handling user interface operations and decisions on behalf of a plurality of different applications on the first electronic device independent of device platform, the first user interface framework having obtained application logic from an application on the first electronic device and used the application logic to determine, for the application, a first user interface portion to be displayed on the first display screen and the second user interface portion to be displayed by the second electronic device; and
the second user interface framework displaying the second user interface portion on a second display screen of the second electronic device, the second user interface framework handling user interface operations and decisions on behalf of a plurality of different applications on the second electronic device independent of device platform, the second user interface framework comprising a rendering engine operable to communicate with a rendering engine of the first user interface framework for displaying the second user interface portion.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for displaying a user interface using multiple electronic devices. The method comprises providing a first user interface framework on a first electronic device having a first display screen; the first user interface framework determining that a second display screen on a second electronic device is available via a connection between the first and second electronic devices; the first user interface framework using application logic from an application on the first mobile device to determine a first user interface portion to be displayed on the first display screen and a second user interface portion to be displayed on the second display screen; and the first user interface framework providing data associated with the second user interface portion to the second electronic device.
