Abstract
There is provided a system including a display, a wireless communication element, a non-transitory memory storing an executable code, and a hardware processor executing the executable code to receive an input signal including a media content and a data content associated with the media content, extract the data content from the input signal, display the media content on the display, and transmit the data content of the input signal to a user device using the wireless communication element.
Claims14
A system comprising:
- a media device including a wireless communication element;
- a display;
- a room lighting system wirelessly connected to the media device, the room lighting system configured to provide room lighting and execute an action, the room lighting system being separate and distinct from the display;
- a non-transitory memory of the media device storing an executable code;
- and
- a hardware processor of the media device configured to execute the executable code to:
- receive a media transmission signal including video content and data content associated with the video content, the data content associated with the video signal and included in the media transmission signal being in a dedicated data stream of the media transmission signal;
- extract the data content associated with the video content from the received media transmission signal;
- display the video content on the display in accordance with a video content timeline;
- and
- transmit from the media device to the room lighting system, using the wireless communication element, the data content, wherein transmission of the data content occurs in response to reaching a pre-programmed trigger event in the video content timeline while displaying the video content on the display;
- wherein instructions included in the data content cause the room lighting system to execute the action to change an intensity of the room lighting provided by the room lighting system.
A method for use with a system including a media device, a display, a room lighting system wirelessly connected to the media device and separate and distinct from the display, the media device including a wireless communication element, a non-transitory memory, and a hardware processor, the method comprising:
- receiving a media transmission signal including video content and data content associated with the video content, the data content associated with the video signal and included in the media transmission signal being in a dedicated data stream of the media transmission signal;
- extracting the data content associated with the video content from the received media transmission signal;
- displaying the video content on the display in accordance with a video content timeline;
- and
- transmitting from the media device receiving the media transmission signal to the room lighting system wirelessly connected to the media device, using the wireless communication element, the data content, wherein transmission of the data content occurs in response to reaching a pre-programmed trigger event in the video content timeline while displaying the video content on the display, the room lighting system being configured to provide room lighting and execute an action;
- wherein the instructions included in the data content cause the room lighting system to execute the action to change an intensity of the room lighting provided by the room lighting system.
