Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: connecting a device to a computer system to form a unified system, wherein the device includes a first processor, a first memory, and a first screen, and wherein the computer system includes a second processor, a second memory, and a second screen; generating, by the device, a unified desktop for the unified system, wherein the unified desktop is displayed on the first screen of the device and the second screen of the computer system, wherein the unified desktop includes a first user interface displayed on the first screen of the device and a second user interface displayed on the second screen of the computer system, wherein the second user interface replaces a desktop associated with the computer system, and wherein the unified desktop emulates a personal computer environment; determining, by the device, one or more status indicators to present in the first user interface and the second user interface of the unified desktop, wherein the status indicators provide information about the device and about the computer system; presenting, by the device, the one or more status indicators in the first user interface and the second user interface of the unified desktop, wherein the one or more status indicators presented in the first user interface are different from the one or more status indicators presented in the second user interface; executing, by the device, a device application associated with the device in the unified desktop; providing, by the device, a freeform window for a third user interface associated with the device application in the unified desktop, wherein the freeform window allows the device application to display on the second user interface in the unified desktop and emulate a window in the personal computer environment; determining, by the device, one or more features of the device application that do not function in the personal computer environment; providing, by the device, a first user interface device, associated with the freeform window, to enable at least one of the one or more features of the device application that do not function in the personal computer environment; determining, by the device, one or more device application controls that do not function in the personal computer environment; and providing, by the device, a second user interface device, associated with the freeform window, to enable at least one of the one or more device application controls that do not function in the personal computer environment, wherein the second user interface device is a button in the freeform window.
