Abstract:
1. A method for operating an electronic device, comprising: detecting, by a first electronic device, a two-way (bidirectional) coupling of the first electronic device to a second electronic device, wherein the first electronic device comprises a computing device having a first power supply, a memory, and a user interface application, and the second electronic device comprises a media player having a second power supply and media playback circuitry; receiving, by the computing device, application data related to a user interface application of the second electronic device stored on a memory of the second electronic device; generating, or selecting, by the computing device, a user interface of the user interface application of the computing device based, at least in part, on the application data received from the second electronic device, wherein the user interface generated or selected for the computing device depends, at least in part, upon a type of the second device connected to the computing device; presenting the user interface application on the computing device; controlling, by the computing device, the playback circuitry of the second electronic device using the user interface application of the computing device, in response to the detecting of the coupling and in response to user inputs received by the user interface application of the computing device.
