Provided are techniques for detecting a presentation of media content on a first display device; synchronizing contextual data corresponding to the media content with the media content; transmitting the contextual metadata corresponding to the media content to a second display device in response to the detecting, wherein the second display device is a different device than the first display device; and presenting the contextual metadata, in synchronization with the media content, on the second display device in conjunction with the presentation of the media content on the first display device.

Use of parallel data programming for device integration

An original advertisement is transformed at a first content viewing device into a transferrable incentivized deferred advertisement that itself includes as added encoded data elements a configured incentive, a configured incentive time period within which to obtain the configured incentive, and a reporting instruction that causes an alternative content viewing device to report advertisement viewing back to the first content viewing device. The transferrable incentivized deferred advertisement, that includes the added encoded data elements, is transferred to the alternative content viewing device.

Consumer-configurable alternative advertising reception with incentives

A method for generating website recommendations based on user web browsing. The method includes a computer processor tracking a sequence of two or more websites traversed by a user, wherein the sequence is based, at least in part, on a web-browsing session of the user. The method further includes a computer processor identifying a plurality of sequences of websites traversed by other users, wherein the plurality of sequences of web sites traversed by other users include at least one website in common with the tracked sequence of two or more websites traversed by the user. The method further includes a computer processor determining one or more recommended websites in the plurality of sequences of websites traversed by other users that are relevant to the tracked sequence of two or more websites traversed by the user. The method further includes a computer processor presenting the one or more recommended websites to the user.

Web-browsing recommendations based on aggregated path data

An indication from a user is detected by a first content viewing device to transfer an advertisement delivered to the first content viewing device as part of streamed audio and video (A/V) content to an alternative content viewing device. A determination is made, based upon user-specific advertising configuration information, as to whether the user is authorized to perform advertisement deferral during the streamed A/V content. The advertisement is configured as an incentivized deferred advertisement to be viewed by the user at a later time using the alternative content viewing device in response to determining that the user is authorized to perform advertisement deferral during the streamed A/V content. The configured incentivized deferred advertisement is transferred to the alternative content viewing device.

Synchronizing two or more display devices to augment user experience

Program code on mobile computing devices and a server computer receive information about mobile computing devices within a defined area. The program code selects an announcement, from a database based on the information received, having audio that is in a language determined as being utilized within the defined area, wherein the language is assigned a first highest ranking, and wherein the first highest ranking indicates that the language is spoken by a majority of persons within the defined area. The program code selects a transcription of the audio from the database, wherein the transcription is in a language determined as being utilized within the defined area, and wherein the language is assigned a second highest ranking. The program code instructs a television within the defined area to output the audio, and to output the transcription of the audio on a display screen of the television.
