Abstract
A method includes detecting touch input received by a first touch sensor that detects touch on a surface of an electronic device (ED), that has a connection interface enabling coupling with a second ED having a second touch sensor. The method includes, in response to detecting the touch input, determining a state of the connection interface as being a connected or disconnected state relative to the second ED. The method includes in response to determining the state is the connected state: determining whether the touch input is associated with a multi-device (MD) gesture. The method includes, in response to determining the touch input is not associated with a MD gesture, executing an independent local-only function associated with the touch input. The method includes, in response to determining the touch input is associated with a MD gesture, executing a MD function associated with the MD gesture.
