Abstract
Data, particularly display data, is sent to a particular peripheral device, particularly a display device) from a computer device, such as a mobile device. The method involves determining an identifier of each peripheral device and receiving (35) a user identification identifying a particular peripheral device. The user identification is then associated (36) with the identifier of the particular peripheral device, and data is sent to the particular peripheral device based on the identifier associated with the user identification. The user identification comprises a user gesture which is captured as an input image, which is processed to determine which particular peripheral device the user gesture is gesturing towards and associating the user gesture with the identifier of the particular peripheral device. Alternatively the user identification may be directly input by a user on a display showing either recognised elements that have been associated with identifiers of the peripheral devices, or a listing of available peripheral devices.
