A while ago, I did some research on how convergence might work. I ended up with an overview of possible device types and a description of the corresponding user experience. I also tried to identify common elements in the UI that would need to be converted in order to move from one device's UX to another. I've documented this on the community wiki:
https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Convergence_Overview
I also created a forum topic for feedback, which you can find here:

This research was done a while ago but I think most of it is still relevant. It might help you with this task.
