Presenting context information in a computing device

摘要

An electronic computing device (430) can be configured to act as a text-entry device and a cursor control device for a second device (400). The first device (430) can include a touch-sensitive display capable of receiving text inputs and cursor inputs for controlling operations performed on the second device (400), which is communicatively coupled to the first device. The first device (430) can be configured such that selection of a field displayed by the second device can cause information such as text from a focus field to be displayed by the first device. The second device (400) can be configured to send event information pertaining to the focus field to the first device. The event information can include a warning that the maximum length of input for the focus field has been, or is about to be, exceeded.
