Abstract
A computer implemented method of controlling a slave communication device from a master communication device is provided. The method includes displaying, on a display of the master communication device, an indication of a plurality of slave devices paired with the master communication device, receiving, on the master communication device, a user selection of a slave communication device from the plurality of slave communication devices, displaying, on the master communication device, a representation of at least part of a user interface of the selected slave communication device, receiving a user interaction with the virtual phone display region, transmitting control signals on the wireless network connection to cause the selected slave communication device establish a voice call, and transmitting and receiving bi-directional audio signals to and from the slave communication device over the wireless network connection to facilitate the voice call.
