Increased user interaction performance in group settings is achieved by providing individually interactive secondary content to individual users of a group of users, including a group that is consuming content from a single display device. A group of users is defined based upon detected commonalities. Secondary content is concurrently presented to the defined group of users and includes both non-interactive and interactive content. The interactive content is individually and separately presented to multiple users of the defined group, including co-located users that were consuming the primary content from a single physical display device. The individual and separate presentation includes presenting multiple panels, or sub-divisions, on the single physical display device, with individual, separate panels directed to individual ones of the multiple co-located users and the utilization of personal computing devices that are associated with specific ones of the multiple co-located users. |

1. A method of generating differing content for different ones of a group of users, the method comprising the steps of:
delineating the group of users based on an activity that is simultaneously being engaged in by each user delineated in the group of users, the activity comprising consuming video content; determining a first set users comprising at least two users, from the delineated group of users, that are co-located and are simultaneously consuming the video content from a shared display device; determining a second set of users comprising at least one user, from the delineated group of users, each having a personal computing device co-located with them, the personal computing device differing from the device through which the second set of users is consuming the video content; generating non-interactive content within a first portion of a content presentation area of the shared display device, the first portion comprising less than a whole of the content presentation area of the shared display device; generating, on at least some of the personal computing devices co-located with the second set of users, interactive content associated with the non-interactive content being generated within the first portion of the content presentation area of the shared display device, the interactive content, generated on a one of the personal computing devices, being responsive to user input provided to that personal computing device; and separately generating the interactive content within individual subdivisions of a subdivided second portion of the content presentation area of the shared display device, the second portion being different from, and distinct from, the first portion, wherein each separately generated interactive content in each subdivision is responsive to a specific one of the first set of users. |
