Application window transferring between displays

1 . A method, comprising:

presenting, on each of a display of an information handling device and a display of at least one secondary device, a graphical user interface, wherein the presenting comprises presenting at least one visual indicator on the display of the information handling device, wherein the information handling device and the at least one secondary device are paired, wherein the presenting the graphical user interface comprises presenting an overlay across an input area on the display of the information handling device and presenting the graphical user interface over the overlay;

receiving, within the graphical user interface, a user input at the at least one visual indicator to transfer a window present within a screen displayed on the display of the information handling device to the display of the at least one secondary device; and

transferring, in response to the receiving of the user input, the window present within the screen on the display of the information handling device to the display of the at least one secondary device.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving a user input comprises receiving a user input positioning the window on the at least one visual indicator.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the receiving a user input further comprises detecting a release of the window on the at least one visual indicator.

4 . The method of claim 1 , comprising changing an appearance of the at least one visual indicator responsive to the receiving the user input, wherein the changing of the appearance indicates the user input has been received.

5 . The method of claim 1 , comprising changing an appearance of the at least one visual indicator responsive to detecting the window is within a predetermined proximity to the at least one visual indicator.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transferring comprises dynamically transferring the window by displaying movement of the window to the at least one secondary display along with movement of the at least one visual indicator.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transferring comprises adjusting the window to match characteristics of the display of the at least one secondary device.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transferring is responsive to the window being visually coupled to the at least one at least one visual indicator and being moved from the display of the information handling device to the display of the at least one secondary device.

9 . The method of claim 8 , comprising cancelling the transferring responsive to detecting the user input at the at least one visual indicator is removed before the at least one visual indicator is moved to the display of the at least one secondary device.

10 . A system, the system comprising:

an information handling device including a display;

at least one secondary device including a display;

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to:

present, on each of the display of the information handling device and the display of the at least one secondary device, a graphical user interface, wherein the presenting comprises presenting at least one visual indicator on the display of the information handling device, wherein the information handling device and the at least one secondary device are paired, wherein to present the graphical user interface comprises presenting an overlay across an input area on the display of the information handling device and presenting the graphical user interface over the overlay;

receive, within the graphical user interface, a user input at the at least one visual indicator to transfer a window present within a screen displayed on the display of the information handling device to the display of the at least one secondary device; and

transfer, in response to the receiving of the user input, the window present within the screen on the display of the information handling device to the display of the at least one secondary device.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the receiving a user input comprises receiving a user input positioning the window on the at least one visual indicator.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the receiving a user input further comprises detecting a release of the window on the at least one visual indicator.

13 . The system of claim 10 , comprising changing an appearance of the at least one visual indicator responsive to the receiving the user input, wherein the changing of the appearance indicates the user input has been received.

14 . The system of claim 10 , comprising changing an appearance of the at least one visual indicator responsive to detecting the window is within a predetermined proximity to the at least one visual indicator.

15 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the transferring comprises dynamically transferring the window by displaying movement of the window to the at least one secondary display along with movement of the at least one visual indicator.

16 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the transferring comprises adjusting the window to match characteristics of the display of the at least one secondary device.

17 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the transferring is responsive to the window being visually coupled to the at least one at least one visual indicator and being moved from the display of the information handling device to the display of the at least one secondary device.

18 . The system of claim 17 , comprising cancelling the transferring responsive to detecting the user input at the at least one visual indicator is removed before the at least one visual indicator is moved to the display of the at least one secondary device.

19 . A product, the product comprising:

a computer-readable storage device that stores code that, when executed by a processor, causes the product to:

present, on each of a display of an information handling device and a display of at least one secondary device, a graphical user interface, wherein the presenting comprises presenting at least one visual indicator on the display of the information handling device, wherein the information handling device and the at least one secondary device are paired, wherein to present the graphical user interface comprises presenting an overlay across an input area on the display of the information handling device and presenting the graphical user interface over the overlay;

receive, within the graphical user interface, a user input at the at least one visual indicator to transfer a window present within a screen displayed on the display of the information handling device to the display of the at least one secondary device; and

transfer, in response to the receiving of the user input, the window present within the screen on the display of the information handling device to the display of the at least one secondary device.

20 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the presenting the overlay comprises locking the input area of the display while the graphical user interface is presented;

wherein the overlay across the input area on the display of the information handling device comprises at least one of: a blurred overlay, a transparent overlay, a colored overlay, a flashing overlay, a virtual texture overlay, and an animated overlay.
