The document discusses strategies for designing digital products and services across multiple screens. It identifies six patterns to consider: coherence across devices, synchronization of content, sharing screens, shifting content between devices, devices complementing each other, and using devices simultaneously. Examples are given for each pattern to illustrate how major companies are implementing multi-screen experiences.
