Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for using one device to configure information to be displayed on another device with different display capabilities. Techniques are described for receiving input on a management device, which specifies information for display on a target device. The management device generates an image of how the specified information will appear when displayed on the target device. Additional input may be received on the management device that changes the information to be displayed or the format of the information. The management device modifies the image to reflect such changes. The management device may display an image of the target device that includes the display of the selected information. The management device may also emulate the target device, thereby permitting a user to simulate physical use of the target device by manipulating the image of the target device on the management device.
