An approach is provided for enabling a user to obtain additional information pertaining to a set of media content that is currently being presented to the user. According to this approach, a media access device: (a) accesses a set of media content and some context information pertaining to the media content: (b) provides the media content to a presentation device for presentation to a user; (c) generates a context message based upon the context information; and (d) sends the context message to a receiving device being used by the user. Using the information in the context message, the receiving device provides the user with additional information relevant to the media content being presented. By sending the context message to the receiving device, the media access device makes it much easier and more convenient for the user to access additional information relevant to the media content. |
