Abstract: An intelligent surrogate apparatus for enhancing the display output and interaction capability of a portable device comprises a communication interface for connecting the portable device and an display controller. The apparatus comprises a connection manager for establishing connection and managing data flows; a graphics data receiver for receiving structured graphics data output from an application running on the portable device via the communication interface and converting them to a corresponding graphic function invocation; and a windows manager which may invoke a graphic function library to organize application windows according to the graphic function invocation. The apparatus can organize windows on the external display and/or interact with the application program in response to an external keyboard/mouse event so that the portable device is endued with additional capabilities of interactive operations.

Abstract: An intelligent surrogate apparatus and method for enhancing the display output and interaction capability of a portable device. The apparatus comprises a communication interface for connecting the portable device and an display controller. In addition, the apparatus comprises a connection manager for establishing connection and managing data flows; a graphics data receiver for receiving structured graphics data output from an application running on the portable device via the communication interface and converting them to a corresponding graphic function invocation; and a windows manager which may invoke a graphic function library to organize application windows according to the graphic function invocation. The apparatus may comprise fully functional computer keyboard input and mouse input capability. It can organize windows on the external display and/or interact with the application program in response to an external keyboard/mouse event so that the portable device is endued with additional capabilities of interactive operations.
