METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DEVICE NOTIFICATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- optically detecting an encoded pattern from source media on a mobile electronic device, the encoded pattern being associated with programming content of a content source;
decoding the encoded pattern on the mobile electronic device to reproduce encoded data;
identifying the programming content on the mobile electronic device based on reproduction of the encoded data;
obtaining a scheduled start time of the programming content on the mobile electronic device;
when a current device time of the mobile electronic device is within a notification time qualification of the scheduled start time, generating a programming content start alert on the mobile electronic device; and
providing an interactive opportunity notification associated with the programming content on the mobile electronic device based on the generating of the programming content start alert.

Abstract
Methods and system for encoded information processing are described. In one embodiment, an encoded pattern may be optically detected from source media. The encoded pattern may be associated with programming content of a content source. The encoded pattern may be decoded to reproduce encoded data. The programming content may be identified based on reproduction of the encoded data. A scheduled start time of the programming content may be obtained. When a current device time is within a notification time qualification of the scheduled start time, a programming content start alert may be generated. An interactive opportunity notification associated with the programming content may be provided based on generation of the programming content start alert. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.
