More Information
Summary:A handheld device displays multiple applications ("apps"), from which a user selects one app. The selected app displays multiple descriptions of videos, from which the user selects one video. The handheld device transmits a video request containing an identification of the user-selected video. The computer system transmits the user-selected video to the television and transmits a signal to the handheld device, based on the video request. The television responds by automatically displaying on a television screen, a series of frames in the video, on receipt therein. The handheld device automatically displays on a handheld screen, information that is directly or indirectly based on the video request, as the signal is received from the computer system. Two displays based on a single video request, provide a richer viewing experience than a single display.
