1. A method, implemented in a first electronic device, the method comprising:
detecting that the first electronic device is connected to a second electronic device;
automatically determining, in response to detecting that the first electronic device is connected to the second electronic device, a first physical position of the second electronic device relative to the first electronic device based on a dimension of the first electronic device compared to a dimension of the second electronic device and based on changes in a gaze of a user of the first electronic device and the second electronic device; and
providing, to an input control module, the first physical position of the second electronic device relative to the first electronic device.
