Abstract
The present disclosure describes methods and systems for an automatic device discovery and connection protocol via a multi-device experience server. The server may register user devices and associate them with a local network. Upon receiving a request from a media device on the local network, the server may trigger a user device to automatically discover and connect to the media device, increasing speed of discovery and connections, reducing required user control and direction, and enhancing connectivity and communications between the devices, providing new channels for interaction.
