Method and Apparatus for Displaying Data from a Plurality of Concurrent Operating System Environments

摘要

A method includes running a first operating system environment and a second independent operating system environment, with both operating system environments utilizing a common kernel. The method includes mapping a home screen of the first operating system environment to a workspace of the second operating system environment, and generating display data for a combined workspace using the mapping of the home screen to the workspace. The method may generate the display data for the combined workspace, including at least one selectable application icon for selecting an application associated with the first operating system environment, and at least a second selectable application icon for selecting an application associated with the second operating system environment. A plurality of home screens may be mapped to a plurality of workspaces to create a plurality of combined workspaces. An apparatus having at least one processor is operative to perform the disclosed methods.
