Abstract

A method and/or computer system dynamically manages screen real estate of a remote computer's display. A first computer receives an initial state of screen real estate of a remote second computer's display on a portable computing device, where the initial state describes information displayed on the remote second computer's display. The first computer detects a change to an external physical environment of the remote second computer's display from one location to another location within a same building. The first computer then adjusts the initial state of the screen real estate in order to remotely create an adjusted state of the remote second computer's screen real estate, where the adjusted state comports with the change to the physical location of the remote second computer's display, and where the adjusted state alters an appearance of the information displayed on the remote second computer's display.
