摘要： Methods and systems for determining what channel a user is viewing through a TV receiver are described. At the TV receiver, a plurality of TV signals is received. A channel selection is received. The TV receiver tunes to the selected channel from among the plurality of TV signals. A watermark is inserted into a component of the tuned TV signal to form a modified TV signal, and the modified TV signal is output from the TV receiver. The watermark encodes meta-information associated with the tuned TV signal. In some implementations, the modified TV signal is received by a computer system. The watermark from the modified TV signal is processed to decode the meta-information, and the meta-information is provided to an application running on the computer system.

摘要： Systems, methods and devices described herein enable users of Internet-enabled devices to share content from broadcast media programs in real-time. In particular, in some implementations systems, methods and devices are operable to share content from broadcast media content presented on a first type of device using respective Internet-enabled second devices. For example, a server system parses an electronic message received from a client device to determine if the electronic message is associated with a particular currently broadcast media program. In response to determining that received electronic message is associated with a particular currently broadcast media program, the server system generates a corresponding supplemented electronic message, from the received electronic message, by including content from the currently broadcast media program. The server system then provides the supplemented electronic message to a service (e.g., a micro-blog application) for display.
