METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERFACING WITH A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE USING A CONTROL INTERFACE

摘要

A method, system, and apparatus is disclosed for interfacing with a graphical user interface. In one embodiment, the graphical user interface (105A, 105B, 105C) is displayed on a first computing arrangement (104). One or more control graphical components (116) are displayed on a second computing arrangement (102). The control graphical components abstract functions of a proper subset of graphical components of the graphical user interface and are associated with the subset of graphical components. A user input (708) is received via the control graphical components of the second computing arrangement. The user input is communicated (710) to the first computing arrangement for controllong the associated portions of the graphical user interface. A state of the graphical user interface of the first computing arrangement is communicated (714) to the second computing arrangement. The control graphical components of the second computing arrangement are updated (714) based on the state of the graphical user interface.
