Computer Interface Method
First Claim
1. A method of interacting with a first electronic device having a touch-sensitive display, the method comprising:
- establishing a connection between said first electronic device and a second electronic device, said connection allowing data communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device;
detecting a first event involving said first electronic device;
detecting a second event involving said second electronic device;
determining if said first event and said second event relate to an interaction between said second electronic device and an element displayed on said touch-sensitive display;
if said first and second events relate to an interaction between said first and second electronic devices, controlling operation of said first electronic device based upon one or more characteristics of said interaction.

Abstract
A method of interacting with a first electronic device having a touch-sensitive display. The method comprises establishing a connection between the first electronic device and a second electronic device, the connection allowing data communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device. A first event involving the first electronic device is detected and a second event involving the second electronic device is detected. It is determined if the first event and the second event relate to an interaction between the second electronic device and an element displayed on the touch-sensitive display. If the first and second events relate to an interaction between the second electronic device and an element displayed on the touch-sensitive display, operation of the first electronic device is controlled based upon one or more characteristics of the interaction.
