First Claim
Patent Images
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program, wherein when executed by at least one computing device, the program causes the at least one computing device to at least:
- discover a plurality of mobile computing devices available to render content;
render a user interface including a list of the plurality of mobile computing devices;
receive a selection of a particular mobile computing device of the plurality of mobile computing devices from the list of the plurality of mobile computing devices;
render first content on a first display device;
determine a current state of the first content rendered on the first display device; and
send a directive to the particular mobile computing device to render second content that is synchronized to be relevant to the current state of the first content on a second display device corresponding to the particular mobile computing device, wherein the second content comprises a list of cast members currently on screen in the first content.

Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for providing content via multiple display devices. Primary content is rendered on a first computing device. A second computing device is associated with the first computing device. The first computing device determines a current state in the primary content. A directive to render supplemental content is sent to the second computing device. The supplemental content is related to the current state of the primary content. The supplemental content is rendered on the second computing device.

15. A method, comprising:
-
discovering, by a first computing device, a plurality of computing devices available to render content; rendering, by the first computing device, a list of the plurality of computing devices; receiving, by the first computing device, a selection of a particular computing device of the plurality of computing devices from the list of the plurality of computing devices; rendering, by the first computing device, primary content on a first display device; determining, by the first computing device, a current state of the primary content rendered on the first display; and sending, by the first computing device, a directive to the particular computing device to render a supplemental content on a second display device corresponding to the particular computing device, the supplemental content being synchronized to be relevant to the current state of the primary content, wherein the supplemental content comprises a list of cast members currently on screen in the primary content. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
