Abstract
A method and system for auxiliary data detection. Data is received on a hand-held device from a display of a signal on a monitor. The signal is visually displayed on the monitor at a frequency. A modulated video signal is received on the hand-held device from a display device. The modulated video signal contains auxiliary data modulated within a video signal in a substantially invisible way. The modulated video signal is demodulated to obtain the auxiliary data. At least one of the data or the auxiliary data is processed to identify a promotional opportunity available through the hand-held device. The user of the hand-held device is notified of availability of the promotional opportunity through the hand-held device.

31. A method comprising:
-
receiving at least a portion of an encoded signal from a display device on a mobile electronic device, the encoded signal including auxiliary data encoded within audio of the encoded signal; monitoring a plurality of data input receivers of the mobile electronic device to determine whether the auxiliary data is encoded within the audio or video of the encoded signal; selecting an particular data input receiver to receive the encoded signal based on a determination that the data is encoded within the audio, wherein the portion of the encoded signal is received by the particular data input receiver of the mobile electronic device; demodulating the encoded signal on the mobile electronic device to obtain the auxiliary data; visually displaying a user input screen on a display of the mobile electronic device, the user input screen generated based on at least a portion of the auxiliary data; receiving user input from a user of the mobile electronic device in response to the visual display of the user input screen; and processing the user input on the mobile electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)
