SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENABLING SIMULTANEOUS SECOND SCREEN VIDEO SEGMENT REPLAY DURING ONGOING PRIMARY SCREEN PROGRAMMING

摘要

Flat panel video display can wirelessly broadcast its identity for discovery to users of handheld devices (e.g., smartphones) interested in obtaining recorded data associated with video programming displaying on the flat panel video display. Data can also include text, audio, and identifying information needed to access related data from a remote server. An application can be downloaded and activated on smartphones that will enable it to see a list of available (discoverable) flat panel displays that allow wireless access to recorded video data associated with programming being displayed (or previously displayed and stored in a queue) on a flat panel. A flat panel of interest can be selected by the smartphone and it can access additional data (either directly from the flat panel or from a remote server once the data has been identified) and/or engage in an interactive session in association with the displayed programming or data.

主权项

1. A method enabling handheld device access to past video associated with video programming being displayed on flat panel displays located within at least wireless local area network range of the handheld devices, comprising:
displaying programming on a display screen integrated in a flat panel display; wirelessly broadcasting an identification of the flat panel display for wireless discovery by handheld devices; and providing the handheld devices access to recorded segments of past video data associated with ongoing video programming as it is simultaneously being displayed on the display screen without interruption.
