1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a discovery element, first content in a first format from a service provider;
transmitting, by the discovery element, the first content in the first format to an output device;
detecting, by the discovery element, a user device;
recognizing, by the discovery element, a supported second format of the detected user device;
receiving, by the discovery element, second content in the second format from the user device;
converting, by the discovery element, the second content from the second format to the first format; and
generating, by the discovery element, an output to be rendered at the output device comprising both the first content and the converted second content.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing services are disclosed. One method can comprise receiving data having a first format and transmitting the data to a first device. The method may also comprise detecting a second device, automatically recognizing a supported second format of the detected second device, converting the data to the second format, and transmitting the converted data to the second device via wireless communication.

9. An apparatus comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a memory comprising processor executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to; receive, by a discovery element, first content in a first format from a service provider; transmit, by the discovery element, the first content in the first format to an output device; detect, by the discovery element, a user device; recognize, by the discovery element, a supported second format of the detected user device; receive, by the discovery element, second content in the second format from the user device; convert, by the discovery element, the second content from the second format to the first format; and generate, by the discovery element, an output to be rendered at the output device comprising both the first content and the converted second content. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to:
-
receive, by a discovery element, first content in a first format from a service provider; transmit, by the discovery element, the first content in the first format to an output device; detect, by the discovery element, a user device; recognize, by the discovery element, a supported second format of the detected user device; receive, by the discovery element, second content in the second format from the user device; convert, by the discovery element, the second content from the second format to the first format; and generate, by the discovery element, an output to be rendered at the output device comprising both the first content and the converted second content. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
