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.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving content into a mobile device;
- using one or more content parameters of the content as a lookup to determine whether any preferences exist for the one or more content parameters;
- if the preferences include one or more automatic redirection preferences for the content, automatically redirecting the content to an external device in accordance with the one or more automatic redirection preferences without presenting the content to the user on the mobile device;
- if there are no automatic redirection preferences for the content, detecting a user gesture with at least one gesture recording device associated with the mobile device;
- providing a redirection instruction, associated with the user gesture, from the mobile device to a content server, the redirecton instruction indicating to the content server an external device to redirect content to;
- redirecting a better quality version of the content from the content server to the external device in accordance with the redirection instruction;
- manipulating the better quality version of the content at the content server in accordance with a manipulation instruction associated with at least one further user gesture;
- and
- providing the manipulated better quality version of the content from the content server to the external device.
