Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide underlying communication functionality to enable companion experiences. A companion experience allows the user to interact with content playing on a primary device through a companion device. An application on the companion device interacts with an application running on a base device (e.g., a game console, PC, or TV) to provide additional interface options on the companion that are related to a title or application playing on the base device.
