Abstract

A system for reproducing first reproduction data and for reproducing second reproduction data includes: a first reproduction device, configured for reproducing the first reproduction data; and a second reproduction device, configured for reproducing the second reproduction data. The system is configured such that the first reproduction data is transmitted to the first reproduction device via a first logical communication channel and the second reproduction data is transmitted to the second reproduction device via a second logical communication channel. The second logical communication channel is different from the first logical communication channel. The system is configured such that the first reproduction data is identified using pattern recognition, and determination of the second reproduction data is based on the identification of the first reproduction data.

Claims

1-15. -15. (canceled)

16. A system for reproducing first reproduction data and for reproducing second reproduction data, wherein the system comprises:

a first reproduction device, configured for reproducing the first reproduction data; and

a second reproduction device, configured for reproducing the second reproduction data;

wherein the system is configured such that the first reproduction data is transmitted to the first reproduction device via a first logical communication channel and the second reproduction data is transmitted to the second reproduction device via a second logical communication channel, wherein the second logical communication channel is different from the first logical communication channel;

wherein the system is configured such that the first reproduction data is identified using pattern recognition, and determination of the second reproduction data is based on the identification of the first reproduction data.

17. The system according to claim 16, further comprising:

a first server device, configured to transmit the first reproduction data to the first reproduction device; and

a second server device, configured to transmit the second reproduction data to the second reproduction device.

18. The system according to claim 17, wherein the second reproduction device is further configured to transmit feedback data to the second server device via the second logical communication channel or a further logical communication channel.

19. The system according to claim 17, further comprising:

a receiver device connected to the first reproduction device, wherein the first server device is configured to transmit the first reproduction data to the first reproduction device via the receiver device.

20. The system according to claim 16, wherein the identification of the first reproduction data is based on identification data transmitted to the second reproduction device, wherein the identification data is part of the first reproduction data.

21. The system according to claim 16, wherein the identification of the first reproduction data is based on identification data transmitted to the second reproduction device, wherein the identification data is at least one of:

an identification of the receiver device;

an identification of the first reproduction device;

or

an identification of the first reproduction data.

22. The system according to claim 16, wherein the first reproduction data comprises video data or audio-video data, and wherein the second reproduction data comprises audio data corresponding to the first reproduction data or multimedia data corresponding to the first reproduction data.

23. The system according to claim 22, wherein the video data or audio-video data of the first reproduction data comprises program contents of a television program or of a distribution service for video data.

24. A method for reproducing first reproduction data and for reproducing second reproduction data, the method comprising:

receiving, by a first reproduction device, the first reproduction data via a first logical communication channel;

reproducing, by the first reproduction device, the first reproduction data;

identifying the first reproduction data;

determining the second reproduction data based on the identification of the first reproduction data;

receiving, by a second reproduction device, the second reproduction data via a second logical communication channel, wherein the second logical communication channel is different from the first logical communication channel; and

reproducing, by the second reproduction device, the second reproduction data.

25. The method according to claim 24, wherein the first reproduction data is transmitted to the first reproduction device from a first server device and the second reproduction data is transmitted to the second reproduction device from the second server device.

26. The method according to claim 25, further comprising:

transmitting, by the second reproduction device, feedback data to the second server device via the second logical communication channel or via a further logical communication channel.

27. The method according to claim 24, wherein identifying the first reproduction data is based on identification data transmitted to the second reproduction device, and wherein the identification data is generated during reproduction of the first reproduction data by the first reproduction device.

28. The method according to claim 24, wherein identifying the first reproduction data is based on identification data transmitted to the second reproduction device, and wherein the identification data comprises at least one of:

an identification of the receiver device;

an identification of the first reproduction device;

or

an identification of the first reproduction data.

29. The method according to claim 24, wherein the first reproduction data comprises video data or audio-video data, and wherein the second reproduction data comprises audio data corresponding to the first reproduction data or multimedia data corresponding to the first reproduction data.

30. The method according to claim 28, wherein the video data or audio-video data of the first reproduction data comprises program contents of a television program or of a distribution service for video data.

31. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for reproducing first reproduction data and for reproducing second reproduction data, the processor-executable instructions comprising instructions for:

receiving, by a first reproduction device, the first reproduction data via a first communication channel;

reproducing, by the first reproduction device, the first reproduction data;

identifying the first reproduction data;

determining the second reproduction data based on the identification of the first reproduction data;

receiving, by a second reproduction device, the second reproduction data via a second logical communication channel, wherein the second logical communication channel is different from the first logical communication channel; and

reproducing, by the second reproduction device, the second reproduction data.
