A device management server computer ('server') has a media-only interface to a device and transmits a device identifier to the device over the interface, the device identifier having embedded network information sufficient to enable the device to establish a separate connection to the server over a communication link such as a wireless network. An application on the device retrieves the device identifier, extracts the network information, and uses the network information to establish the separate connection over the communication link. The device identifier can be part of an EDID provided over an HDMI interface. Instructions transmitted over the separate connection can be used to control transmission of media over the media-only interface.

Establishing network connections between devices connected by a media connection

A data management server computer ('server') is disclosed. The server receives action data associated with one or more users identifying a plurality of actions performed through one or more computer devices in a multi-modal networked environment, identifies useful sequences of actions as compound actions, and generates deep links representing the compound actions as UI elements which when invoked cause execution of the represented compound actions.
