1. A client device comprising:
- at least a memory and a processor configured to utilize instructions in the memory to cause the client device to;
receive a request from a remote control device to capture a still image from content in a broadcast received at the client device;
responsive to the request, capture the still image from the content in the broadcast;
transmit the still image for receipt and display of the still image at the remote control device;
receive image data from the remote control device, the image data comprising a portion of the still image selected from the still image displayed at the remote control device and by a user via a user interface output at the remote control device, the portion of the still image received from the remote control device including at least one object to be identified using image recognition; and
transmit the portion of the still image for receipt by one or more servers to identify metadata that is relevant to the request by processing the option of the still image using the image recognition to identify the at least one object.

Abstract
A client device may receive a request from a remote control device to capture a still image from content in a broadcast received at the client device. The client device may capture the still image from the content in the broadcast responsive to the request. The still image is transmitted for receipt and display at the remote control device. Image data is received from the remote control device that includes a portion of the still image displayed at the remote control device. The portion of the still image is selected by a user via a user interface output at the remote control device and includes an object to be identified using image recognition.

7. A remote device comprising:
- at least a memory and a processor configured to utilize instructions in the memory to cause the remote device to;
form a request to cause a still image to be captured by a client device from content output in a broadcast at the client device and transmitted to the remote device for displaying the still image on an integrated display device of the remote device; output a user interface on the integrated display device of the remote device; display on the integrated display device the still image received from the client device; receive via the user interface a user input comprising selection of a portion of the still image displayed on the integrated display device, the portion of the still image including one or more objects to be identified; and transmit the portion of the still image and not the still image as a whole for receipt by the client device and to transmit the portion of the still image for receipt by one or more servers to identity metadata by processing the portion of the still image using image recognition to identify the one or more objects. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computing device comprising:
-
at least a memory and a processor configured to utilize instructions in the memory to cause the computing device to; display on a display screen integrated with the computing device an image received from a client device that captured the image from video data displayed on the client device, the computing device configured to control one or more operations of the client device; receive a user input at the computing device that selects a portion of the image displayed on the display screen integrated with the computing device, the portion of the image being useable to obtain metadata associated with one or more objects in the portion of the image; and transmit the portion of the image and not the image as a whole from the computing device for receipt by the client device to cause the client device to transmit the portion of the still image for receipt by one or more servers to identify the metadata associated with the one or more objects in the portion of the image using image recognition. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
