INTERFACING A TELEVISION WITH A SECOND DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for interfacing devices, comprising:
- detecting, by a mobile device, a display device that is proximal to the mobile device, wherein the display device is presenting media content;
causing the mobile device to be communicatively coupled to the display device;
receiving, at the mobile device from a server, a first card interface that relates to the media content being presented on the display device;
storing the first card interface in a local memory of the mobile device;
causing the first card interface to be presented on the display device;
receiving, at the mobile device from the server, a second card interface that relates to the media content being presented on the display device;
causing the first card interface to no longer be presented on the display device and the second card interface to be presented on the display device;
receiving an input on the mobile device to cause the previously presented first card interface for a second time on the display device;
in response to receiving the input on the mobile device, retrieving the previously presented first card interface from the local memory of the mobile device; and
causing the first card interface to be presented for the second time on the display device.
