More particularly, the system and method disclosed herein provides for the delivery and management of digital media content to an end user by providing the multi-device, multi-screen experience where original content, other content, and associated data can interact and flow between devices. The system and method enables an individual to create a virtually universal home commerce and monitoring ecosystem by integrating a device into their home Wi-Fi and content consumption systems. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: receiving, from a primary content source, based on a request from a user device, primary content configured for a primary display at a premises, wherein the primary content comprises one or more digital watermarks; querying, based on the one or more digital watermarks in the primary content, one or more local radio-frequency identification (RFID) enabled devices at the premises; receiving, from the one or more local RFID enabled devices, product information; determining, based on the product information received from the one or more local RFID enabled devices, secondary content configured for a secondary display; automatically sending, to the secondary display, the secondary content; and causing output, via the secondary display, of the secondary content. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the primary content comprises at least one of: streaming content, on-demand content, live television content, audio content, video content, augmented reality content, or virtual reality content. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising determining, based on the product information, one or more internet search histories associated with the premises. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising performing, on the primary content, at least one of: object detection, object recognition, facial recognition, digital signature analysis, digital fingerprint analysis, or processing metadata. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more local RFID enabled devices are configured to query one or more RFID tags. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary content comprises one or more of: an advertisement associated with one or more objects at the premises or data associated with an object at the premises. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary display comprises a user interface, the method further comprising receiving, via the user interface, a user input associated with the secondary content. ### Claim 8 A system comprising: a computing device configured to: receive, from a primary content source, based on a request from a user device, primary content configured for a primary display at a premises, wherein the primary content comprises one or more digital watermarks; query, based on the one or more digital watermarks in the primary content, one or more local RFID enabled devices at the premises; receive, from the one or more local RFID enabled devices, product information, determine, based on the product information received from the one or more local RFID enabled devices, secondary content configured for a secondary display; automatically send, to the secondary display, the secondary content; and cause output, via the secondary display, of the secondary content; and the secondary display configured to: output the secondary content. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the primary content comprises at least one of: streaming content, on-demand content, live television content, audio content, video content, augmented reality content, or virtual reality content. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the computing device is further configured to determine, based on the product information, one or more internet search histories associated with the premises. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the computing device is further configured to perform, on the primary content, at least one of: object detection, object recognition, facial recognition, digital signature analysis, digital fingerprint analysis, or processing metadata. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the one or more local RFID enabled devices are configured to query one or more RFID tags. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the secondary content comprises one or more of: an advertisement associated with one or more objects at the premises or data associated with one or more objects at the premises. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the secondary display comprises a user interface, wherein the computing device is further configured to receive, via the user interface, a user input associated with the secondary content. ### Claim 15 An apparatus, comprising: one or more processors; and memory storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to: receive, from a primary content source, based on a request from a user device, primary content configured for a primary display at a premises, wherein the primary content comprises one or more digital watermarks; query, based on the one or more digital watermarks in the primary content, one or more local RFID enabled devices at the premises; receive, from the one or more local RFID enabled devices, product information; determine, based on the product information received from the one or more local RFID enabled devices, secondary content configured for a secondary display; automatically send, to the secondary display, the secondary content; and cause, via the secondary display, output of the secondary content. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the primary content comprises at least one of: streaming content, on-demand content, live television content, audio content, video content, augmented reality content, or virtual reality content. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the processor executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the apparatus to determine, based on the product information, one or more internet search histories associated with the premises. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the processor executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the apparatus to perform, on the primary content, at least one of: object detection, object recognition, facial recognition, digital signature analysis, digital fingerprint analysis, or processing metadata. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the processor executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to query the one or more local RFID enabled devices, cause the one or more local RFID enabled devices to query one or more RFID tags. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the secondary content comprises one or more of: an advertisement associated with one or more objects at the premises or data associated with one or more objects at the premises.
