Method and system for interacting with a user in an experimental environment
First Claim
1. A method performed by an interactive service device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a computing device, a media sample of a media stream, wherein the media sample comprises pre-processed characteristics of content of the media stream including fingerprint and landmark pairs that describe content and locations of the content in the media stream;
determining a match of the media sample to stored content recordings, based at least in part on the fingerprint and landmark pairs;
receiving information from the computing device indicative of a selection of an event from a plurality of events offered by the interactive service device, the computing device, or an event fulfillment center; and
in response to receipt of the media sample and finding the match, triggering the selected event.

Abstract
A method and system for provides a user with an ability to capture a sample of an experiential environment and deliver that sample to an interactive service to trigger one or more predetermined events. In exemplary embodiments of the invention such triggered events include the delivery of information and services to the user, the execution of tasks and instructions by the service on the user'"'"'s behalf, communication events; surveillance events and other control-oriented events that are responsive to the user'"'"'s wishes. In other exemplary embodiments of the invention, the triggered events include transaction-oriented events, entertainment events, and events associated with enhancements to human ability or function.
