AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION OF INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL OBJECTS IMPLEMENTED ON AUXILIARY DEVICES

A system can include at least one auxiliary device comprising a plurality of user interface components responsive to user inputs. A host device can include a link interface configured to communicate with each auxiliary device via a communication link. The host device also includes configuration logic to automatically configure each auxiliary device to implement at least one of a plurality of virtual interactive pages, which is assigned based on the number of auxiliary devices connected to the host device. Each of the virtual interactive pages is programmed to associate a discrete set of actions or events with specified user interface components of the respective auxiliary device to which the virtual interactive page is assigned. The host device can execute a selected one of the actions or events in response to activation of a corresponding one of the user interface components.
