Abstract

Interactive content may be provided by a smart television or other media device using a wireless communication protocol to detect the presence or proximity of a mobile device. When a mobile device is detected, the media device can establish a communication link with the mobile device via the wireless communication protocol. When content is displayed by the media device, additional data can be sent to the mobile device to enhance the user experience via the communication link. The user can interact with the data sent to the mobile device or with the content itself by providing feedback on the mobile device. The feedback may be provided to a content server via a second communication link, such as a cellular link or wireless link to the Internet. In some implementations, content server may modify content for display on the media device based on feedback on the mobile device.
