A method of generating a display object is provided, the method comprising operating a first processor comprised within a first device to: execute an application; generate an display object associated with the application; output the active display object on the first device; transmit the display object to a second device for output by the second device; and receive user input to the application via the display object output on the second device.

Updating an application at a second device based on received user input at a first device

A method and a device are disclosed, whereby the device can be a first electronic device. The first electronic device is adapted to be coupled to a second electronic device. The method comprises outputting, with the first device, a request to communicatively couple with a second device in response to a gesture performed with the first device. The second electronic device and method of operating it are also disclosed.

Devices and methods for establishing a communicative coupling in response to a gesture

A system and method are provided for displaying a user interface using multiple electronic devices. The method comprises providing a first user interface framework on a first electronic device having a first display screen; the first user interface framework determining that a second display screen on a second electronic device is available via a connection between the first and second electronic devices; the first user interface framework using application logic from an application on the first mobile device to determine a first user interface portion to be displayed on the first display screen and a second user interface portion to be displayed on the second display screen; and the first user interface framework providing data associated with the second user interface portion to the second electronic device.

System and method for displaying a user interface across multiple electronic devices

A device is described. The device comprises: a display configured to display first application data; a processor configured to communicate with a further device. The processor is further configured to: detect an event associated with the further device and generate, in response to the detected event, first application data pertaining to a display of second application data associated with applications executable on the further device; and output the first application data to the display. A system and method are also described.

Device, system and method for generating application data

Methods and devices to generate a multiple-channel audio recording are disclosed. An example method includes initiating a registration of a first device in response to determining that the first device is in a physical location of an event, sending first registration information to register the first device for the event, recording first audio via the first device, and sending the first audio for combination with second audio recorded via a second device.

Methods and devices to generate multiple-channel audio recordings

Methods and apparatuses are provided for entering characters into an electronic device. As part of a device configuration process, languages and associated character sets are stored in the electronic device. Responsive to user input as part of a device operation process, the electronic device presents a menu of language character sets for selection, with the language character sets assigned to particular positions within the menu. In response to the selected language character set, the electronic device presents a menu of language variant characters for selection, with the language variant characters assigned to particular positions within the menu. In response to selection of a language variant character, the electronic device displays the character within the display window.

Method and apparatus for using persistent directional gestures for localization input

A user interface (UI) system where at a UI client engine is associated with an application, and a UI rendering engine is associated with the client engine. The UI client engine receives, from a UI client engine associated with an application, a UI component tree comprising: UI component nodes having associated predefined contextual rendering information, and a custom rendering element node having associated incomplete contextual rendering information; generating UI rendering instructions in accordance with the UI component tree by: for each UI component node, using the predefined contextual rendering information to generate UI component rendering instructions, for the custom rendering element node, retrieving custom rendering instructions generated by the application and generating incomplete rendering instructions based on the incomplete contextual rendering information; and combines the UI component rendering instructions, the incomplete rendering instructions and the retrieved custom rendering instructions; renders the UI in accordance with the generated UI rendering instructions.

Method of rendering a user interface

A computer implemented method includes, at an electronic device having an input interface and a display, receiving information relating to a current relative location of at least one other electronic device, displaying on the display a representation of the at least one other electronic device and its relative location, and receiving at the input interface user input associated with the displayed representation of the at least one other electronic device for communicating with the at least one other electronic device. The electronic device has up-to-date knowledge of the relative position of the at least one other device and displays this visually. Information may be sent to the at least one other electronic device in response to receiving the user input associated with the displayed representation of the at least one other electronic device.

Method and apparatus for interconnected devices

A user interface (UI) is presented in which a UI client engine is associated with an application, and a UI rendering engine is associated with the client engine. The UI rendering engine receives the scene graph and data items associated with elements of the scene graph, and processes a rendering thread to render a UI in accordance with the scene graph and the data items, independently of further input from the client UI engine.

Methods and devices for distributing and receiving content are provided. In one example aspect, a method comprises: receiving a command on a first electronic device to output content at an output device associated with a second electronic device; and in response to receiving the command to output content at the output device associated with the second electronic device: providing content access information from the first electronic device to the second electronic device, and adjusting a security state on the second electronic device.

Methods and devices for distributing content to an electronic device

A user interface (UI) is presented in which a UI client engine is associated with an application, and a UI rendering engine is associated with the client engine. The UI client engine processes a client thread to manage a scene graph. The UI rendering engine receives the scene graph and data items associated with elements of the scene graph, and processes a rendering thread to render a UI in accordance with the scene graph and the data items, independently of further input from the client UI engine.

Presented are systems and methods for presenting, creating, and pausing a meeting session. The systems and methods create meeting-session data based at least in pan on one or more applications running on one or more devices connected to a meeting session. The systems and methods store muting-session data in a database. The systems and methods pause a meeting session such that the one or more devices are disconnected from the meeting session. The systems and methods resume a meeting session by configuring devices to run at least one of the one or more applications using the meeting-session data and joining configured devices to the resumed meeting session.
