Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for switching display modes based on connections between devices. In one aspect, it is determined that an external display has been connected to or disconnected from a mobile device. Based on the determining, an application executing on the mobile device is switched between a first display mode and a second display mode. In the first display mode, a single user interface is displayed on the touch screen of the mobile device. In the second display mode, a first user interface is displayed on the external display and a second user interface, for receiving user inputs, is displayed on the touch screen of the mobile device.

2. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
providing, for display on a touch screen of a mobile device, a first mobile user interface that includes a visual element and a first set of controls that are configured to control the visual element; after providing the first mobile user interface, determining that an external display has been connected to the mobile device; in response to determining that the external display has been connected to the mobile device; generating a second mobile user interface that includes (i) the first set of controls that are configured to control the visual element and (ii) a second set of controls that are configured to control the visual element differently than the first set of controls, wherein the second set of controls are not included in the first mobile user interface, and generating an external user interface that includes the visual element; providing, for display on the touch screen of the mobile device, the second mobile user interface; and providing, for display on the external display, the external user interface. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
-
providing, for display on a touch screen of a mobile device, a first mobile user interface that includes a visual element and a first set of controls that are configured to control the visual element; after providing the first mobile user interface, determining that an external display has been connected to the mobile device; in response to determining that the external display has been connected to the mobile device; generating a second mobile user interface that includes (i) the first set of controls that are configured to control the visual element and (ii) a second set of controls that are configured to control the visual element differently than the first set of controls, wherein the second set of controls are not included in the first mobile user interface, and generating an external user interface that includes the visual element; providing, for display on the touch screen of the mobile device, the second mobile user interface; and providing, for display on the external display, the external user interface. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
