Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method is disclosed for operating a mobile device. The method is performed by one or more processors of the mobile device. The one or more processors process image input on the mobile device in order to detect one or more graphic objects displayed on a remote display device and to detect one or more fingers of a user in relation to the one or more graphic objects. From processing the image input, a command for the remote display device is determined based on a position or movement of the one or more fingers in relation to the one or more graphic objects. The command is communicated to the remote display device.
