Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a system for provision of supporting content (SC). In general, a device may utilize event information to request SC from an SC provider, and may then present the SC concurrently with an occurrence of the event. The event information may comprise at least an event identifier and a SC provider locator. In response to the request, the SC provider may provide SC configuration data to the device. The SC configuration data may include at least a time, date and location data for the occurrence of the event. At least the time, date and location data may be used to identify an occurrence of the event, upon which the device may synchronize with a start time of the occurrence of the event. The SC may be provided to the device prior to the event or may be streamed during the occurrence of the event.

Claims

1. A wearable device configured for the provision of supporting content, comprising:

communication circuitry;

user interface circuitry to at least receive event information and present supporting content associated with a movie; and

control circuitry to;

cause the user interface circuitry to receive the event information from a printed medium corresponding to the movie, the event information comprising information corresponding to a supporting content provider and an event identifier including information that identifies the movie;

cause the communication circuitry to transmit at least the event identifier to the supporting content provider, the supporting content provider providing, based, at least in part, on the event identifier received from the printed medium, the supporting content associated with the movie and supporting content configuration data;

receive at least the supporting content associated with the movie and the supporting content configuration data from the supporting content provider via the communication circuitry, wherein the supporting content includes at least one of closed captioning data or enhanced audio content data and wherein the supporting content configuration data includes parameters identifying a time, a date, and a location of the event;

determine whether each of the parameters have been satisfied or have expired;

when it is determined that all of the parameters have been satisfied, cause the user interface circuitry to present the supporting content with the wearable device concurrently with an occurrence of the movie; and

when it is determined that one or more parameters are expired, purge the supporting content configuration data from the wearable device.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to synchronize the presentation of the supporting content to a start time of the occurrence of the movie.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to cause the communication circuitry to receive the supporting content and to store the supporting content in the device prior to the occurrence of the movie.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to cause the communication circuitry to receive a stream of the supporting content during the occurrence of the movie.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the wearable device comprises eyewear.

6. A method for provision of supporting content associated with a movie, comprising, with a wearable device:

receiving event information from a printed medium corresponding to the movie, the event information comprising information corresponding to a supporting content provider and an event identifier including information that identifies the movie;

transmitting the event identifier from the wearable device to the supporting content provider, the supporting content provider providing, based, at least in part, on the event identifier received from the printed medium, the supporting content associated with the movie and supporting content configuration data;

receiving at least the supporting content associated with the movie and the supporting content configuration data from the supporting content provider, wherein the supporting content includes at least one of closed captioning data or enhanced audio content data and wherein the supporting content configuration data includes parameters identifying a time, a date, and a location of the event;

when it is determined that all of the parameters have been satisfied, presenting the supporting content with the wearable device, the supporting content being presented concurrently with an occurrence of the movie; and

when it is determined that one or more parameters are expired, purging the supporting content configuration data from the wearable device.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein:

receiving the event information comprises optically scanning the event information from the printed medium.

8. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

synchronizing the presentation of the supporting content to a start time of the occurrence of the movie.

9. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

receiving the supporting content in the device prior to the occurrence of the movie.

10. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

receiving a stream of the supporting content in the device during the occurrence of the movie.

11. At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon, individually or in combination, instructions for provision of supporting content associated with a movie that, when executed by one or more processors of a wearable device, cause the one or more processors to perform the following operations comprising:

receive event information from a printed medium corresponding to the movie with the wearable device, the event information comprising information corresponding to a supporting content provider and an event identifier that identifies the movie;

transmit at least the event identifier from the wearable device to the supporting content provider, the supporting content provider providing, based, at least in part, on the event identifier received from the printed medium, the supporting content associated with the movie and supporting content configuration data;

receive at least the supporting content configuration data and the supporting content associated with the movie from the supporting content provider with the wearable device, wherein the supporting content includes at least one of closed captioning data or enhanced audio content data and wherein the supporting content configuration data includes parameters identifying a time, a date, and a location of the event;

when it is determined that all of the parameters have been satisfied, present the supporting content with the wearable device, the supporting content being presented concurrently with an occurrence of the movie; and

when it is determined that one or more parameters are expired, purge the supporting content configuration data from the wearable device.

12. The non-transitory medium of claim 11, wherein the instructions to receive the event information comprise instructions to cause the wearable device to:

optically scan the event information from the printed medium corresponding to the occurrence of the movie.

13. The non-transitory medium of claim 11, further comprising, instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of the wearable device, cause the one or more processors to:

synchronize the presentation of the supporting content to a start time of the occurrence of the movie.

14. The non-transitory medium of claim 11, further comprising, instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of the wearable device, cause the one or more processors to:

receive the supporting content in the device prior to the occurrence of the movie.

15. The non-transitory medium of claim 11, further comprising, instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of said wearable device, cause the one or more processors to:

receive a stream of the supporting content in the device during the occurrence of the movie.
