Abstract:
1. A method for use in a computerized handheld device that includes a built-in area-constrained display and at least one transceiver for wirelessly accessing an Internet, the method comprising: receiving, via a wireless Internet access connection, a first graphical user interface adapted for display on the built-in area-constrained display; displaying the first graphical user interface on the built-in area-constrained display; executing a handshake sequence to gain access to a peripheral augmentation device that provides a non-area-constrained display, in accordance with a wireless local area network protocol; in accordance with an affirmative result of the handshake sequence, coupling to a remote server an indication that the computerized handheld device has at its disposal a non-area constrained display; receiving, via the wireless Internet access connection, a second graphical user interface adapted for display on the non-area-constrained display; and transmitting to the peripheral augmentation device, using the wireless local area network protocol, a representation of the second graphical user interface for display on the non-area-constrained display.
