Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: defining, by an application executing on a mobile device that (i) has a touch screen on which a first user interface is displayed, and (ii) is operatively coupled to, and provides a different, second user interface for display on, an external display, two or more non-overlapping input regions on the touch screen; displaying, by the application executing on the mobile device, a border around each of the non-overlapping input regions in the first user interface on the touch screen, without displaying information that explicitly identifies a respective command associated with each input region in the first user interface on the touch screen; receiving, by the application executing on the mobile device, a user input at a first input region from the two or more non-overlapping input regions on the touch screen; determining, by the application executing on the mobile device, a command associated with the user input at the first input region; and outputting, by the application executing on the mobile device, and for display at the external display, an updated second user interface, the updated second user interface being based on execution of the command.
