Abstract
A message, including for example an image, video, audio, text, and/or haptics, e.g., a digital photograph, is received by a communication device () via a receiver () operably connected to a communication network (), and determined by a processor () of the communication device () to be targeted to a display, such as a secondary display () of the communication device. The processor () can authenticate the message or messages. Where the message is authenticated, the processor () can automatically display the one or more messages, responsive to receipt thereof, on the secondary display (). Accordingly, a user can glance at the secondary display () of the communication device () and view messages, e.g., images, video, audio, text, and/or haptics which have been shared by one or more senders.
