Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a media device, media content from a media content server. A portion of the media content includes a first item concurrently depicted with a second item. The method includes receiving an input indicating a selection of the second item within the media content. The method includes, in response to the input, sending an identification request for information corresponding to the second item to an identification server in response to the input. The identification request includes data relating to a depiction of the second item. The method also includes receiving the information from the identification server in response to the identification request.
Abstract:
A system includes a processor and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory includes instructions executable by the processor to perform operations. The operations include receiving a signal from a remote control device. The signal includes address data and a media display function. The operations includes determining, based on the address data, whether to control a media device to perform the media display function or to control each media device of a plurality of media devices to perform the media display function. The operations include, based on a first determination to control the media device, enabling the media device to perform the media display function. The operations include, based on a second determination to control each media device of the plurality of media devices, enabling each media device of the plurality of media devices to perform the media display function.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a display device having a controller to wirelessly receive media; wirelessly receive control signals for presentation of the media from a mobile communication device; and selectively disable control by the display device over presentation of the media on the display device. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
