An approach is presented for making the use of a mobile device more socially suitable. Remote control application programming interfaces and installation packages are specified to developers for designing applications that can be controlled via a main device (e.g., a mobile phone) and one or more accessory devices (e.g., a watch). Specifically, each application is required to have two installable components-one that resides on the main device and one that is automatically installed on an associated remote accessory device. By enabling the seamless installation of these two components, a new paradigm or ecosystem for how applications are to be created and installed is introduced. In this new paradigm, application developers will not only develop the applications, but they will also design and define a way to make their applications remotely controllable and reachable from an accessory device, thus making the associated mobile devices running such applications more socially suitable.
