Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide an active-application interface on a companion device that allows a user to control an application running on a primary device. The active-application interface may describe state information for a plurality of applications running on the primary device and allow the user to manipulate the application through one or more contextual controls. The active-application interface may be used to control applications running out-of-control focus on the primary device, including applications that do not presently have a visible viewport.
