First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- detecting a user gesture with at least one gesture recording device associated with a mobile device;
processing the user gesture, in the mobile device, to determine a redirection instruction associated with the user gesture;
providing the redirection instruction from the mobile device to a content server, the redirection instruction indicating to the content server an external device to redirect content to and to show a better quality version of the content on the external device, wherein the redirection instruction is provided from the mobile device to the content server without providing the content from the mobile device to the content server; and
redirecting a better quality version of the content from the content server to the external device in accordance with the redirection instruction;
detecting at least one further user gesture with the at least one gesture recording device;
processing the at least one further user gesture to determine a manipulation instruction associated with the at least one further user gesture;
providing the manipulation instruction to the content server;
manipulating the better quality version of the content at the content server in accordance with the manipulation instruction; and
providing a manipulated better quality version of the content from the content server to the external device to cause manipulation of the content on the external device.

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.

16. A 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; detect a redirection gesture by the at least one motion sensor; determine a redirection preference from the redirection gesture including showing a better quality version of content; redirect a better quality version of the content to at least one external device dependent on the redirection preference, the redirection provided from the mobile device to a content server without providing the content from the mobile device to the content server; detect at least one manipulation gesture by the at least one motion sensor different to the redirection gesture after the redirect; process the manipulation gesture to determine a manipulation instruction associated with the manipulation gesture; and send the manipulation instruction to the content server to cause the content server to manipulate the better quality version of the content at the content server prior to sending the better quality version of the content to the external device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A method, comprising:
-
detecting a first physical gesture with a mobile device for redirecting ad content including showing a better quality version of the ad content; redirecting a better quality version of the ad content to a remote device in response to the first physical gesture, the redirecting comprising a redirection instruction provided from the mobile device to a content server without providing the content from the mobile device to the content server; detecting at least one second physical gesture by the mobile device for manipulating the ad content; processing the at least one second physical gesture to determine a manipulation instruction associated with the at least one second physical gesture; providing the manipulation instruction to the content server; manipulating the better quality version of the ad content at the content server in accordance with the manipulation instruction; and providing a manipulated better quality version of the content from the content server to the remote device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
