Abstract
Novel gesture-based multimedia casting and slinging command methods and systems that are configured to accommodate seamless multimedia data and playback transfers across various electronic devices in a multiple display device environment are disclosed. In one instance, a 'casting' of an audio/video (AV), graphical, or photographic multimedia content from a touch-screen electronic device to a targeted device (e.g. a television, another portable electronic display device, a cast-sling box, etc.) is intuitively represented by a finger swipe-up gesture command because a finger swipe-up motion mimics a physical motion of pushing, throwing, or sending an item from the touch-screen electronic device to the targeted device. In another instance, a 'slinging' of an audio/video (AV), graphical, or photographic multimedia content from the targeted device is intuitively represented by a finger swipe-down gesture command because a finger swipe-down motion mimics a physical motion of “pulling-in” or receiving an item into the touch-screen electronic device.
