CONTROL OF LARGE SCREEN DISPLAY USING WIRELESS PORTABLE COMPUTER AND FACILITATING SELECTION OF AUDIO ON A HEADPHONE

摘要

A multi-window user interface (UI) on a control device such as a tablet computer communicates commands to a display controller, which may be implemented by a game console. The controller controls presentation on a large screen display according to the commands. A tertiary device such as a wireless phone can obtain an application listing audio feeds associated with various videos presented on the display so that a user can listen via headphones to a first audio stream associated with a first video window on the display when the display speakers are playing audio associated with a second video window on the display.
