PROVIDING SYNCHRONOUS CONTENT AND SUPPLEMENTAL EXPERIENCES
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a first computing device, a video signal of a current program to a display device; and
transmitting, by the first computing device, a synchronization signal to at least one device remote from the first computing device, the synchronization signal including an identifier of the current program being presented and a time value indicating a current point in time of the program,wherein the synchronization signal causes the at least one device to;
access content synchronization data; and
determine, based on the content synchronization data, that at least one supplemental experience corresponds to the identifier of the current program and the time value.

Abstract
Methods, systems, computer readable media, and apparatuses for providing synchronous supplemental experiences are presented. According to one or more aspects, a video signal may be transmitted to a display device, and a sync signal may be transmitted to at least one other device. The sync signal may include an identifier of a program currently being displayed and a time value indicating a current point in time of the program. In at least one arrangement, the sync signal may cause the at least one other device to access content synchronization data; determine, based on the content synchronization data, that at least one supplemental experience corresponds to the identifier of the program and the time value; and present the at least one supplemental experience to a user.

8. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to; transmit a data signal comprising a content item to a user device; and transmit a synchronization signal to at least one device remote from the apparatus, the synchronization signal including an identifier of the content item and a time value indicating a current point in time of the content item. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method, comprising:
-
detecting, by a first computing device, a local wireless transmission signal containing information identifying a program currently being displayed by a local display device, and a current point in time of the program being displayed; transmitting a request to an internet protocol resource containing synchronization data for the program, the request containing information identifying the program; receiving the synchronization data for the program; and determining, based on the current point in time and synchronization data, to execute a supplemental experience command. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
