1. A method comprising:
- receiving a content signal from a signal source device at a mobile electronic device using a receiver of the mobile electronic device;
detecting, with a processor of the mobile electronic device that also includes a network interface device and a display, a trigger in the content signal that is received by the mobile electronic device from the signal source device;
receiving gaming data at the mobile electronic device from a server via the network interface device;
enhancing play of a gaming application already and currently being presented on a display of the mobile electronic device responsive to detection of the trigger using the gaming data stored in the mobile electronic device; and
receiving user input on the mobile electronic device during presentation of the gaming application to allow a user of the mobile electronic device to play the gaming application that is enhanced by the gaming data.
