Abstract

Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods to facilitate user interaction across multiple computing systems are disclosed. An example apparatus includes interface circuitry, machine readable instructions, and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to, cause content to be provided to a host computing system to present the content via a display, access an edit instruction from a user of the apparatus, the edit instruction to cause a change of the content, and cause the edit instruction to be provided to the host computing system to apply the change to the content presented on the display.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus to facilitate user interaction across computing systems, the apparatus comprising:
interface circuitry;
machine readable instructions; and
programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to:
identify content to be provided to a remote computing system, the content identified based on a portion of a display of the apparatus captured by the remote computing system;
cause content to be provided to the remote computing system to present the content via a remote display of the remote computing system;
access an edit instruction from a user of the apparatus, the edit instruction to cause a change of the content; and
cause information corresponding to the edit instruction to be provided to the remote computing system to apply the change to the content presented on the remote display.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the interface circuitry is to obtain an identifier for the content from the remote computing system.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the edit instruction is to include the identifier.

4. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the programmable circuitry is to cause communication of an intent to edit message to the remote computing system, wherein the intent to edit message includes the identifier.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the programmable circuitry is to initiate establishment of a connection between the apparatus and the remote computing system.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the change includes at least one of a change in a rotation, tilt, or location of a displayed three-dimensional object.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is implemented by a personal computer and the remote computing system is implemented by a personal electronic device.

8. A non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause programmable circuitry to at least:
identify content to be provided to a remote computing system, the content identified based on a portion of a display of a computing system captured by the remote computing system;
cause content to be provided to the remote computing system to present the content via a remote display of the remote computing system;
access an edit instruction from a user, the edit instruction to cause a change of the content; and
cause information corresponding to the edit instruction to be provided to the remote computing system to apply the change to the content presented on the remote display.

9. The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the remote computing system is to provide an identifier for the provided content.

10. The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the edit instruction is to include the identifier.

11. The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions are to cause communication of an intent to edit message to the remote computing system, wherein the intent to edit message includes the identifier.

12. The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are to cause the programmable circuitry to initiate establishment of a connection to the remote computing system.

13. The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the change includes at least one of a change in a rotation, tilt, or location of a displayed three-dimensional object.

14. The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the programmable circuitry is implemented at a personal computer and the remote computing system is implemented by a personal electronic device.

15. A method for facilitation of user interaction across computing systems, the method comprising:
identifying, by executing an instruction with at least one processor, content to be provided to a remote computing system, the content identified based on a portion of a display of a computing system captured by the remote computing system;
providing the content to the remote computing system to present the content via a remote display of the remote computing system;
accessing, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, an edit instruction from a user, the edit instruction to cause a change to the content; and
providing, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, information corresponding to the edit instruction to the remote computing system to apply the change to the content presented on the remote display.

16. The method of claim 15 , further including obtaining an identifier for the provided content from the remote computing system.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the edit instruction is to include the identifier.

18. The method of claim 16 , further including communicating an intent to edit message to the remote computing system, wherein the intent to edit message includes the identifier.

19. The method of claim 15 , further including initiating establishment of a connection with the remote computing system.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the change includes at least one of a change in a rotation, tilt, or location of a displayed three-dimensional object.
