Interactive notifications between a media device and a secondary device

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a client device, a message associated with a secondary device, the message including a request for alphanumeric text input related to media that is being rendered at the secondary device, wherein the request is responsive to a text entry triggering event related to a secondary-device interface that is being rendered at the secondary device, wherein the client device is associated with the secondary device based at least on a proximity of the client device relative to the secondary device determined based on a speech signal from a user of the client device and based on a user account determined based on comparing the speech signal to a plurality of stored speech signals to identify the user of the user account, and wherein functionality for entry of text at the secondary device is limited when compared to the client device;
• presenting the message at a client-device interface;
• receiving, at the client-device interface, alphanumeric text input pertaining to the message associated with the secondary device;
• sending, via a network, each character of the alphanumeric text input pertaining to the secondary-device interface that is being rendered at the secondary device to the secondary device as the alphanumeric text input is being entered into the client-device interface wherein the secondary device is configured to present each character of the alphanumeric text input from the client device in the secondary-device interface at substantially a same time that the alphanumeric text input is being entered into the client-device interface and wherein the secondary device is configured to perform an operation using the alphanumeric text input received from the client device;
• receiving a notification including an instruction to open a media card associated with the notification;
• and
• providing, at the client-device interface the media card at the secondary device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium of a secondary device having encoded therein programming code executable by a processor to:

• receive a speech signal from a user of a client device;
• determine a proximity of the client device relative to the secondary device based on the speech signal;
• compare the speech signal to a plurality of stored speech signals to identify the user;
• determine a user account based on identifying the user;
• determine an association of the client device with the secondary device based on the user account;
• render media at the secondary device;
• initiate a secondary-device interface at the secondary device;
• identify a text-entry-triggering event related to secondary-device interface that is being rendered at the secondary device, by determining that alphanumeric text input is associated with the secondary-device interface that is being rendered, where functionality for entry of alphanumeric text at the secondary device is limited when compared to a client device;
• responsive to identifying the text-entry-triggering event, send, via a network, a message to the client device, based on the proximity of the client device relative to the secondary device, with a request for information related to the secondary-device interface, the client device having a client-device interface configured to present the message and to receive at least an alphanumeric text input pertaining to the message;
• receive, via a network, the alphanumeric text input pertaining to the message from the client device, wherein the alphanumeric text input is received responsive to a presentation of the message via the client-device interface;
• present each character of the alphanumeric text input in the secondary-device interface at substantially a same time that the alphanumeric text input is being entered into the client-device interface;
• cause a performance of an operation at the secondary device using the alphanumeric text input pertaining to the message that is received from the client device;
• receive a notification including an instruction to provide an option to play a media item at the secondary device;
• and
• provide the option to play the media item at the secondary device.
