1. A method for redirecting content received into a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving the content into the mobile device from a content server;
detecting a user gesture with at least one gesture recording device associated with the mobile device;
processing the user gesture to determine a redirection instruction associated with the user gesture;
providing the redirection instruction to the content server, the redirection instruction indicating to the content server an external device to redirect the content to and to show a better quality version of the content on the remote device; and
redirecting the content in accordance with the redirection instruction.

Abstract
Content such as advertisements received into a mobile device may be more appropriately displayed on an alternative device remote from the mobile device. When ad content is received into the mobile device, the user may perform a physical gesture such as movement of the device or an associated motion sensor. The physical gesture is analyzed in the mobile device and causes the ad content to be redirected to the remote device. Additional physical gestures by the user can be interpreted in the mobile device to manipulate the content on the remote device.

15. A mobile device configured for communications with a data network and to receive content from the data network, the mobile device comprising:
-
at least one motion sensor; and an application executable on at least one processor of the mobile device, the application configured to; present content to a user of the mobile device; detect a redirection gesture; determine a redirection preference from the us redirection gesture; redirect the content to at least one external device dependent on the redirection preference; detect at least one manipulation gesture different to the redirection gesture after the redirect; process the manipulation gesture to determine a manipulation instruction associated with the manipulation gesture; and manipulate the content on the external device based on the manipulation gesture. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A method for manipulating ad content on a mobile device, the method comprising:
-
receiving ad content into the mobile device; detecting a first physical gesture with the mobile device for redirecting the content; redirecting the ad content to a remote device in response to the first physical gesture; detecting at least one second physical gesture for manipulating the content on the remote device with the mobile device after the redirecting; and manipulating the ad content on the remote device in response to the at least one second physical gesture. - View Dependent Claims (18)
