1. A method of displaying content at a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving content at the mobile device over a communication network;
displaying the received content and a graphical device indicating a method of user interaction associated with the received content;
detecting, at a detector associated with the mobile device, a predetermined user interaction sequence;
determining whether the detected predetermined user interaction sequence corresponds to the indicated method of interaction; and
, in response to a sequence corresponding to the indicated method of interaction; and
performing an action relating to the content.

Abstract
The invention relates to displaying content at a mobile device. In some embodiments, a method and apparatus are arranged to display content at a mobile device in association with a graphical device indicating a method of user interaction associated with the content. The mobile device is arranged to detect, at a detector such as a motion detector or on a touch screen of the mobile device, a user interaction and to determine whether the user interaction corresponds to the indicated method of interaction. The method and apparatus are arranged to perform an action relating to the content in response to the detection of the indicated method of interaction.
