Method and apparatus for linking multimedia content rendered via multiple devices
First Claim
1. A method for delivering requested media content, comprising:
- receiving a requested media object requested by a user device, the requested media object including media of at least a first type;
creating a first new media object, the first new media object having at least some of the media of the requested media object of the first type;
creating a second new media object, the second new media object having at least some of the media of the requested media object of a second type, if any, where the media of the second type is different than the media of the first type;
inserting at least one user interface mechanism for activation by a user into the second new media object, the at least one user interface mechanism corresponding to media of the requested media object of the first type included in the first new media object;
delivering the second new media object to the user device;
delivering the first new media object to a secondary device separate from the user device; and
causing a first new media object indicator to be generated in response to activation of the at least one user interface mechanism via the user device, the first new media object indicator indicating to the user media of the first new media object rendered on the secondary device.

Abstract
A method for delivering requested media content is provided. A requested media object requested by a user device is received, the requested media object including media of at least a first type. A first new media object is created, the first new media object having at least some of the media of the requested media object of the first type. A second new media object is created, the second new media object having at least some of the media of the requested media object of a second type, if any. At least one user interface mechanism is inserted into the second new media object, the at least one user interface mechanism corresponding to media of the requested media object of the first type included in the first new media object. The second new media object is delivered to the user device, and the first new media object is delivered to a secondary device separate from the user device. A first new media object indicator is caused to be generated in response to activation of the at least one user interface mechanism via the user device, the first new media object indicator indicating to a user media of the first new media object rendered on the secondary device.

15. A tangible medium storing machine readable instructions comprising:
-
a first set of prestored instructions to receive a requested media object requested by a user device, the requested media object including media of at least a first type; a second set of prestored instructions to create a first new media object, the first new media object having at least some of the media of the requested media object of the first type; a third set of prestored instructions to create a second new media object, the second new media object having at least some of the media of the requested media object of a second type, if any, where the media of the second type is different than the media of the first type; a fourth set of prestored instructions to insert at least one user interface mechanism for activation by a user into the second new media object, the at least one user interface mechanism corresponding to media of the requested media object of the first type included in the first new media object; a fifth set of prestored instructions to deliver the second new media object to the user device; a sixth set of prestored instructions to deliver the first new media object to a secondary device separate from the user device; and a seventh set of prestored instructions to cause a first new media object indicator to be generated in response to activation of the at least one user interface mechanism via the user device, the first new media object indicator indicating to the user media of the first new media object rendered on the secondary device.

16. A method for delivering media content to a plurality of devices, comprising:
-
receiving a first web page requested by a user device, the first web page including text and a first graphics object; creating a second web page having at least some of the text of the first web page; creating a third web page having the first graphics object of the first web page; including a first graphical user interface mechanism for selection by a user in the second web page, the first graphical user interface mechanism corresponding to the first graphics object; delivering the second web page to the user device; and delivering the third web page to a secondary display device separate from the user device; causing an indicator of the first graphics object to be generated on the secondary display device in response to selection of the first graphical user interface mechanism via the user device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
