Context sensitive connected content
First Claim
1. A method of connecting multimedia content to a network resource comprising:
- in a network connected device, extracting an identifier from a media signal;
sending the identifier to a network along with context information indicating device type information, where the identifier is used to look up related data for the media signal;
from the network, receiving the related data associated with the media signal via the identifier, where a format of the related data is adapted to the network connected device based on the device type information.

Abstract
The disclosure describes a method of connecting multimedia content to a network resource. This method operates in a computer network environment. Operating in a network connected device, the method extracts an identifier from a media signal, such as from a digital watermark, perceptual hash, or other machine extracted signal identifier. It then sends the identifier to a network along with context information indicating device type information. From the network, the method receives related data associated with the media signal via the identifier. The related data is adapted to the network connected device based on the device type information. This device type information may include a display type, so that the related date may be formatted for rendering on the display type of the device. This device type information may also include a connection speed so that the related data may be optimized for the connection speed of the device.
