STATE-BASED AUXILIARY DISPLAY OPERATION

摘要

Described is a technology by which routing of data may be automatically modified based on detected state data of a computing system. For example, user input may be routed from an actuator set to a host computer system when the host computer system is in an online state, or to an auxiliary computing device when the host computer system is offline. State may be determined based on one or more various criteria, such as online or offline, laptop lid position, display orientation, current communication and/or other criteria. The auxiliary display and/or actuator set may be embedded in the host computer system, or each may be separable from it or standalone, such as a remote control or cellular phone.

主权项

1. A computing system comprising:
at least one processor; a display, wherein a physical position of the display is changeable relative to the computing system; and one or more storage medium have stored computer-executable instructions which are executable by the at least one processor for implementing the following:
accessing state data, the state data corresponding to at least the physical position of the display relative to the computing system; androuting detected input or content to either the computing system or one or more additional computing system based on the state data and dependent at least in part on the physical position of the display.
