In a second illustrative scenario, devices 10A and 10B transition from state 50-2 to state 50-4 when separated. In state 50-2, content for a video is spread across displays 14A and 14B. In this example, the content is being watched by two users who decided to share their screens during the joint operating mode of state 50-2. When the two users need to separate their devices 10A and 10B (e.g., for more convenient viewing angles, because the users are departing for different destinations, etc.), both users desire to continue viewing the video. Accordingly, in this second operating scenario, the video (content A) is displayed separately (in its entirety) on each of displays 14A and 14B. If the video was initially stored locally on only one of the devices, the video can be transferred to the other device during state 50-2 (e.g., using a local communications link between devices 10A and 10B) or that other device can retain access to the video by automatically switching to an on-line video streaming delivery mode when the devices are separated. In scenarios in which the shared content on system 36 of state 50-2 is a website, the website can be displayed separately on both display 14A and 14B in state 50-4.
