*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18208849 Titled 'Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Synchronizing Two or More Displays'

==Simplified Explanation==

This abstract describes a system where a portable electronic device, such as a smartphone, is connected to a vehicle display. The device displays a first user interface, while also sending information to the vehicle display to generate a second user interface. The second user interface includes a feature that can be activated by the user. When the user activates this feature, a digital assistant is invoked, and the user is prompted to make a voice request. The device then displays a dialogue box within the second user interface to show the digital assistant's response. Additionally, the device displays a user interface object associated with a search result, while still maintaining the first user interface on the device's own display.

At a portable electronic device that includes a portable-device display and is in communication with a vehicle display, displaying a first user interface on the portable-device display. Sending, from the portable electronic device to the vehicle display, information for generating a second user interface, the second user interface including an affordance. While the second user interface is displayed on the vehicle display, detecting an input activating the affordance in the second user interface, and in response, causing the portable electronic device to invoke a digital assistant. In response to invoking the digital assistant, prompting a user for an audible request.
