Abstract
A mobile computing device, such as a smartphone or tablet device, can be coupled to any one or more of multiple display devices at any given time. The mobile computing device allows the home screen displayed on the display devices to be dynamic, changing based on which display device the mobile computing device is coupled to. The mobile computing device can also be coupled to multiple different display devices concurrently, and different home screens are concurrently displayed on those different display devices. User inputs changing the information displayed on the home screen can also be received, and a record of the change is maintained by the computing device so the changed home screen for a particular display device is again displayed to the user the next time the mobile computing device is coupled to that display device.
