EXCHANGE OF CONTENT CONSUMPTION-RELATED INFORMATION BETWEEN NETWORKED DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a content consumption hub device comprising one or more processors, from a content consumption device, content consumption event information identifying one or more characteristics of a content consumption event associated with the content consumption device;
communicating, by the content consumption hub device to one or more content information hubs and based at least in part on the content consumption event information, a request for information associated with content identified in the content consumption event information;
receiving, by the content consumption hub device from the one or more content information hubs, the information associated with the content; and
communicating, by the content consumption hub device to the content consumption device, the information associated with the content.

Abstract
Content information networks may be provided that may each include a plurality of content consumption devices. One or more of the content consumption devices within a content information network may be capable of serving as a content consumption hub device that coordinates the receipt and dissemination of content consumption event information pertaining to content consumption events from and to various content consumption devices within the content information network. The content consumption hub device may further communicate, to various content consumption devices within its network, content-related information relating to content consumed on content consumption devices within its network and/or devices outside of its network. The content consumption hub device may be configured to receive content-related information from one or more content information hubs. The content consumption hub device may also receive content consumption event information from a content consumption platform.
