Abstract
Various systems and methods for controlling primary and secondary displays from a single touchscreen are described herein. An apparatus comprises a touchscreen display, a processor communicatively coupled to the touchscreen display, a detection module communicatively coupled to the processor, and a control module communicatively coupled to the processor. The detection module detects a particular configuration of a plurality of contact points occurring concurrently on the touchscreen display and detects a touch interaction sequence after detecting the particular configuration of the plurality of contact points. The control module controls a pointer on the secondary display based on the touch interaction sequence.
