Abstract:
1. A system for processing and displaying data comprising: a first processor which functions to generate a first image of a first graphical desktop user interface; a first display screen disposed at a first screen location and connected to the first processor to display the first image; a first pointing device connected to the first processor to control movement of a first cursor in the first image; second processor means which include second visual display means and which are disposed at a second display location which is movable in relation to the first screen location of the first display screen; means for communicating signals between the first processor and the second processor means; means which determine a first relative direction, from the first screen location of the first display screen to the second display location of the second visual display means; and program means which expand the display of the graphical desktop user interface onto the second visual display means at times when first processor is communicating with the second processor means and the second visual display means are also in the vicinity of the first display screen so that movement of the first pointing device in the first relative direction causes the first cursor to move to and to disappear at an edge of first display screen and further causes the appearance of a new visual indication on the second visual display means.
