Given that $O$ is the origin of coordinates, and $M$ is a point on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{2} + y^2 = 1$. Let the moving point $P$ satisfy $\overrightarrow{OP} = 2\overrightarrow{OM}$.
- (I) Find the equation of the trajectory $C$ of the moving point $P$;
- (II) If the line $l: y = x + m (m \neq 0)$ intersects the curve $C$ at two distinct points $A$ and $B$, find the maximum value of the area of $\triangle OAB$.
