Abstract

Claims (71)

1. A system comprising:

a first device with a first display and a second device with a second display different than the first display,

the first device configured to:

produce output data responsive to input;

determine that the first device is operating in a first mode;

while the first device is operating in the first mode, display content on the first display in accordance with the output data;

determine that the first device is being viewed with the second device;

in response to determining that the first device is being viewed with the second device, activate a second mode of the first device; and

while the first device is operating in the second mode, refrain from displaying content on the first display in accordance with the output data, and transmit the output data to the second device, and

the second device configured to:

while the first device is operating in the second mode, display, on the second display, content in accordance with the output data and a determined position of the first display relative to the second display, wherein the position of the first display relative to the second display is determined using an image sensor of the second device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second device is further configured to obtain, using the image sensor of the second device, an image of the first device, and wherein the position of the first display relative to the second display is determined using the obtained image.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second device is further configured to:

determine a second position of the first display relative to the second display; and

change the position of the content based on the determined second position of the first display.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein refraining from displaying content on the first display in accordance with the output data includes not presenting visible content on the first display.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein refraining from displaying content on the first display in accordance with the output data includes turning off display elements of the first display.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first display is a touch-screen display and the input is a contact on the touch-screen display.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second device is a head-mounted device.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the output data includes visual output.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of a system having a first electronic device with a first display and a second electronic device with a second display, the one or more programs including instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:

produce output data responsive to input;

determine that the first device is operating in a first mode;

while the first device is operating in the first mode, display content on the first display in accordance with the output data;

determine that the first device is being viewed with the second device;

in response to determining that the first device is being viewed with the second device, activate a second mode of the first device;

while the first device is operating in the second mode, refrain from displaying content on the first display in accordance with the output data, and transmit the output data to the second device; and

while the first device is operating in the second mode, display, on the second display, content in accordance with the output data and the determined position of the first display relative to the second display.

10. A method of operating a system that includes a first device with a first display and a second device with a second display different than the first display, the method comprising:

producing output data, by the first device, responsive to input;

determining that the first device is operating in a first mode;

while the first device is operating in the first mode, displaying content on the first display in accordance with the output data;

determining that the first device is being viewed with the second device;

in response to determining that the first device is being viewed with the second device, activating a second mode of the first device;

while the first device is operating in the second mode, refraining from displaying content on the first display in accordance with the output data, and transmitting the output data to the second device; and

while the first device is operating in the second mode, displaying, on the second display, content in accordance with the output data and the determined position of the first display relative to the second display.

11. A first electronic device comprising:

a first display;

one or more processors; and

memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

producing output data responsive to input;

determining that the first electronic device is operating in a first mode;

while the first electronic device is operating in the first mode, displaying content on the first display in accordance with the output data;

determining that the first electronic device is being viewed with a second electronic device having a second display different from the first display;

in response to determining that the first electronic device is being viewed with the second electronic device, activating a second mode of the first electronic device;

while the first electronic device is operating in the second mode:

refraining from displaying content on the first display in accordance with the output data; and

transmitting the output data from the first electronic device to the second electronic device, wherein the output data represents content displayable by the second electronic device on the second display.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

updating the content responsive to an input at the first electronic device.

13. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the second electronic device is a head-mounted device.

14. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the first electronic device comprises a touch-screen display and wherein the output data is generated by the first electronic device responsive to contact on the touch-screen display.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of a first electronic device coupled with a first display, the one or more programs including instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first electronic device to:

produce output data responsive to input

determine that the first electronic device is operating in a first mode;

while the first electronic device is operating in the first mode, display content on the first display in accordance with the output data;

determine that the first electronic device is being viewed with a second electronic device having a second display different from the first display;

in response to determining that the first electronic device is being viewed with the second electronic device, activate a second mode of the first electronic device;

while the first electronic device is operating in the second mode:

refrain from displaying content on the first display in accordance with the output data; and

transmit the output data from the first electronic device to the second electronic device, wherein the output data represents content displayable by the second electronic device on the second display.

16. A method comprising:

at a first device coupled with a first display:

producing output data responsive to input

determining that the first device is operating in a first mode;

while the first device is operating in the first mode, displaying content on the first display in accordance with the output data;

determining that the first device is being viewed with a second device having a second display different from the first display;

in response to determining that the first device is being viewed with the second device, activating a second mode of the first device;

while the first device is operating in the second mode:

refraining from displaying content on the first display in accordance with the output data; and

transmitting the output data from the first device to the second device, wherein the output data represents content displayable by the second device on the second display.
