A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving, prior to entering a screensaver mode of operation, a search criteria identifying a requested subject matter, wherein the search criteria is based on a last user-initiated search query to a web-based search engine. In response to entering the screensaver mode, the search criteria identifying the requested subject matter is automatically transmitted to a web browser. Image content referenced by a set of uniform resource locators based upon the search criteria is sequentially presented. In response to receiving user input, a user-selectable region is presented comprising a selectable element superimposed on the first image. Selection of the element causes a defined action generating an e-mail message having an attachment with content referenced by a link associated with the first image. Receiving user input from a second input device ceases presenting of the image. Other embodiments are disclosed. |

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a media processor, prior to entering a screensaver mode of operation, a search criteria identifying a requested subject matter, wherein the search criteria is based on a last user-initiated search query to a web-based search engine; entering, by the media processor, the screensaver mode of operation; in response to entering the screensaver mode, automatically transmitting, by the media processor, the search criteria identifying the requested subject matter to a web browser; receiving, by the media processor, a set of uniform resource locators from the web browser based upon the search criteria; sequentially presenting, by the media processor at a display device during the screensaver mode, only image content referenced by the set of uniform resource locators that correspond to image files; receiving, by the media processor during the screensaver mode, user input from a first input device of the media processor during a presentation of a first image associated with a first uniform resource locator of the set of uniform resource locators; in response to receiving the user input from the first input device, presenting, by the media processor during the screensaver mode, a user-selectable region comprising a selectable element superimposed on the first image, wherein the user-selectable region includes a selectable graphical element superimposed on a graphical interface for presenting the first image; detecting, by the media processor during the screensaver mode, a selection of a first element of the selectable element; causing, by the media processor during the screensaver mode, a defined action responsive to the selection of the first element, wherein the defined action causes a storage of the first image referenced by the first uniform resource locator in a memory device as stored content and generation of an e-mail message having an attachment with content referenced by a link associated with the first image; and in response to receiving the user input from a second input device, ceasing, by the media processor, the presenting of the image content at the first image. |
