Claims (28)

1 - 27 . (canceled)

28 . A method comprising:

establishing a connection between a user equipment device and a mobile device;

receiving with the user equipment device, over the connection, data associated with content being viewed on the mobile device in response to a gesture made using the mobile device; and

causing the user equipment device to display the content associated with the received data.

29 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the gesture includes at least one of shaking the mobile device, swiping a finger across a touchscreen display of the mobile device, rotating the mobile device, swinging the mobile device and pointing the mobile device.

30 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the data associated with the content includes at least one of application data, video data and audio data.

31 . The method of claim 28 , further comprising receiving the content with the user equipment device from an external source.

32 . The method of claim 31 , wherein the external source is a service on the Internet.

33 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the content is received by the user equipment device and the mobile device from a same source.

34 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the data includes the content.

35 . The method of claim 28 , wherein receiving the data comprises receiving an instruction from the mobile device to tune a channel corresponding to the content.

36 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the content is a video.

37 . The method of claim 28 further comprising terminating the connection between the mobile device and the user equipment device in response to another gesture made using the mobile device.

38 . A system comprising:

control circuitry configured to:

establish a connection between a user equipment device and a mobile device;

receive with the user equipment device, over the connection, data associated with content being viewed on the mobile device in response to a gesture made using the mobile device; and

cause the user equipment device to display the content associated with the received data.

39 . The system of claim 38 , wherein the gesture includes at least one of shaking the mobile device, swiping a finger across a touchscreen display of the mobile device, rotating the mobile device, swinging the mobile device and pointing the mobile device.

40 . The system of claim 38 , wherein the data associated with the content includes at least one of application data, video data and audio data.

41 . The system of claim 38 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to receive the content with the user equipment device from an external source.

42 . The method of claim 41 , wherein the external source is a service on the Internet.

43 . The method of claim 38 , wherein the content is received by the user equipment device and the mobile device from a same source.

44 . The method of claim 38 , wherein the data includes the content.

45 . The method of claim 38 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to receive an instruction from the mobile device to tune a channel corresponding to the content.

46 . The method of claim 38 , wherein the content is a video.

47 . The method of claim 38 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to terminate the connection between the mobile device and the user equipment device in response to another gesture made using the mobile device.
