System and method for providing secondary content using a colour controller
First Claim
1. A method of displaying two or more instances of secondary content on a mobile device, each instance of secondary content being a member of one of a plurality of content categories, the method comprising:
- displaying primary content on an interface of the mobile device;
receiving the two or more instances of secondary content at the mobile device;
determining a content category for each instance of the two or more instances of secondary content;
applying a visual property to two or more controllers, each of the two or more controllers associated with and visually indicating a presence of a respective one of the two or more instances of secondary content, the visual property based on the determined content category and each of the two or more controllers configured to display the respective one of the two or more instances of secondary content when selected;
displaying each instance of the two or more controllers on the interface of the mobile device such that each of the two or more controllers does not visually interfere with the displayed primary content and such that each of the two or more instances of secondary content is not displayed; and
in response to receiving an input selecting a one of the two or more controllers, displaying the instance of secondary content associated with the one of the two or more controllers on the interface of the mobile device.

Abstract
A method of providing secondary content on a mobile device such that the secondary content is associated with a controller and is a member of one of a plurality of content categories. The method includes displaying primary content on an interface of the mobile device; receiving the secondary content at the mobile device; applying a visual property to the controller, the visual property identifying the content category that the secondary content is a member of. Further, after receiving the secondary content at the mobile device, the controller is displayed on the interface of the mobile device such that the controller does not visually interfere with the displayed primary content. Upon receiving input selecting the controller, the secondary content associated with the controller is displayed on the interface of the mobile device.

25. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable code embodied therein for execution by a processor for configuring a mobile device to carry out a method of providing two or more instances of secondary content on a mobile device, each instance of secondary content being a member of one of a plurality of content categories, the method comprising:
-
displaying primary content on an interface of the mobile device; receiving the two or more instances of secondary content at the mobile device; determining a content category for each instance of the two or more instances of secondary content; applying a visual property to two or more controllers, each of the two or more controllers associated with and visually indicating a presence of a respective one of the two or more instances of secondary content, the visual property based on the determined content category and each of the two or more controllers configured to display the respective one of the two or more instances of secondary content when selected; displaying each instance of the two or more controllers on the interface of the mobile device such that each of the two or more controllers does not visually interfere with the displayed primary content and such that each of the two or more instances of secondary content is not displayed; and in response to receiving an input selecting a one of the two or more controllers, displaying the instance of secondary content associated with the one of the two or more controllers on the interface of the mobile device.
