1. A system for use with a video display device that displays a video signal, the system comprising:
a viewer sensor that generates sensor data for sensing at least one viewer of the video display device; a viewer analysis module, coupled to the image capture device, that analyzes the sensor data to generate viewer data, wherein analyzing the sensor data includes recognizing the at least one viewer, tracking eye movements of the at least one viewer to determine a concentration point of the at least one viewer in a spatial portion of an image contained in the video signal, recognition of an object that appears in the spatial portion of the image corresponding to the concentration point of the at least one viewer and determining interest of the at least one viewer in the object based on analysis of facial characteristics of the at least one viewer; and a selection module, coupled to the viewer analysis module, that selects selected content based on the viewer data and generates selected content data based on the selected content for display to the at least one viewer; wherein recognizing the at least one viewer includes comparing the sensor data to a captured image of the at least one viewer from a social media site to identify the at least one viewer; wherein the viewer analysis module generates the viewer data to indicate an identification of the at least one viewer and a social media address of the at least one viewer for the social media site; wherein the selection module selects the selected content based on the identification of the at least one viewer; wherein a transmit module transmits the selected content data to a mobile device associated with the at least one viewer via the social media address; and wherein the selected content is displayed to the at least one viewer by displaying the selected content data via the mobile device.
