Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed cause a mobile device to perform a process, the instructions comprising instructions to: establish a portion of a communication link with a host device; receive, at the mobile device, an instance of at least a portion of a user interface operating at the host device, the instance including data, and the user interface associated with an application operating at the host device; display, at the mobile device, the instance of at least a portion of the user interface on a touch-sensitive display of the mobile device; receive a first signal at the mobile device, the first signal produced by a pressure-sensitive drawing device, and indicative of a level of pressure of at least a portion of the pressure-sensitive drawing device interacting with a surface of the touch-sensitive display; receive a second signal at the mobile device, the second signal produced by the touch-sensitive display, and indicative of the interaction of the pressure-sensitive drawing device with the surface of the touch-sensitive display; process, at the mobile device, the first signal received from the pressure-sensitive drawing device and the second signal received from the touch-sensitive display to thereby produce a third signal based on a combination of the first signal and the second signal; send, via the portion of the communication link, the third signal to the host device; receive, at the mobile device, an updated instance of at least a portion of the user interface operating at the host device, the updated instance including an addition to the data, the addition being based on the third signal, and the host device using the third signal to display an image in the user interface operating at the host device, the image having characteristics dependent on the level of pressure; and display, at the mobile device, the updated instance of at least a portion of the user interface on the touch-sensitive display of the mobile device, wherein:
