Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices for display device operation in a connected ecosystem. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a module placed on a module interface of the display device and initiating a pairing operation with the module. Operation of the module may be activated to provide functional output to the display device. Connectivity of the module with a second module associated with the module interface may be enabled by a display device such that the module and second module provides interoperability of at least one function of the module and the second module for use with the display device. In addition to supporting one or more modules by a display device, modules may be moved and connected to one or more other display devices in the ecosystem. In certain embodiments an interface is provided for coupling multiple physical units to a display device.
