Abstract
In an embodiment, a flick motion is detected on a touch screen interface of a first device. In response to detecting the flick motion: data associated with the flick motion is identified and transmitted to a second device. The data may be automatically displayed in response to detecting the flick motion.
Claims18
A method for executing media content functions based on flick motions, comprising:
- generating for display media content at a first device;
- while generating for display the media content at the first device, detecting a flick motion on a touch screen interface of the first device;
- determining a direction of the flick motion;
- and
- determining based on the direction of the flick motion:
- (1) a second device from a plurality of devices, and (2) a media content function from a plurality of media content functions;
- and
- causing the second device to execute the selected media content function.

A system for executing media content functions based on flick motions, comprising:
- control circuitry configured to:
- generate for display media content at a first device;
- while generating for display the media content at the first device, detect a flick motion on a touch screen interface of the first device;
- determine a direction of the flick motion;
- and
- determine based on the direction of the flick motion:
- (1) a second device from a plurality of devices, and (2) a media content function from a plurality of media content functions;
- and
- cause the second device to execute the selected media content function.
6 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions encoded thereon, that when executed by control circuitry causes the control circuitry to:
- generate for display media content at a first device;
- while generating for display the media content at the first device, detect a flick motion on a touch screen interface of the first device;
- determine a direction of the flick motion;
- and
- determine based on the direction of the flick motion:
- (1) a second device from a plurality of devices, and (2) a media content function from a plurality of media content functions;
- and
- cause the second device to execute the selected media content function.
