System, method and apparatus for controlling presentation of content

1. A system for transferring presentation of content from a source device to a destination device, the system comprising:

a source device having a display and having a detection device that detects a gesture that is entered by a user of the source device at the source device, where the gesture is detected by detecting the user's hand moving in a direction;

said source device wirelessly detecting a destination device having a second display, and where the destination device is separate from and communicatively coupled to the source device;

said source device operating to display content on the display of the source device;

said source device including a processing element, determining if the gesture from the detection device is a first gesture entered at the source device where the moving is in a first direction that indicates a transfer-to request to transfer presentation of the content from the source device to the destination device and responsive to detecting said transfer-to request, to operate to communicate the presentation of the content from the source device to the destination device by getting a current index to a location of playing of the content, and sending said current index to the destination device along with the content such that the destination device takes over the presentation of the content at a location of the current index,

wherein said processing element also determines if the gesture from the detection device is a second gesture entered at said source device where the moving is in a second direction and that indicates a transfer-from request to transfer presentation of the content from the destination device to the source device and responsive to detecting the transfer-from request operating to receive the content from the destination device along with an index indicating the location of playing of the content on the destination device, and to start playing at a location of the index, and

wherein the presentation of the content is transferred by sending only a remainder of the content from the source device to the destination device, which comprises a portion of the content that has not already been shown on the display of the source device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the content is video.

3. A method of transferring the presentation of content from a source device to a destination device, the method comprising:

displaying content on a source device having a display and a processor and having a detection device that detects a gesture that is entered by a user of the source device at the source device;

detecting a gesture entered on the source device via said processor on said source device, where the gesture is detected by detecting the user's hand moving in a direction;

said source device operating for determining if the gesture is a first gesture that indicates transferring a presentation of the content from the source device to the destination device by detecting the user's hand moving in a first direction, and responsive to determining the first gesture determining a current index into the content and commanding the destination device to initiate presentation of the content at the current index, and if the gesture is the first gesture that indicates moving presentation of the content from the source device to the destination device, communicating the presentation of the content from the source device to the destination device such that the destination device takes over the presentation of the content, and said source device operating for determining if the gesture is a second gesture that indicates moving the presentation of the content from the destination device to the source device by detecting the user's hand moving in a second direction, and responsive to determining the second gesture, then moving the same content back from the destination device back to the source device, and if the gesture is the second gesture, communicating the presentation of the content from the destination device to the source device,

wherein the commanding of the destination device to initiate the presentation of the content at the current index includes sending an identification of the content and an index into the content from the source device to the destination device, and

wherein the commanding of the destination device to initiate the presentation of the content at the current index includes sending a only remainder of the content from the source device to the destination device which comprises a portion of the content that has not already been shown on the display of the source device.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the content is video.
