Discovery may be performed, and events specified for digital distribution may be detected. A particular endpoint identifier mapped to media devices may be detected. Events may be determined as a function of access specifications. Content objects corresponding to the events may be received from a remote system via a network. Content composites corresponding to mapping specifications may be created for each content object with selecting and configuring an adaptable content object with the content object to form a content composite to facilitate presentation of the content composite. The content composites may be used to facilitate an augmentation interface with a graphical layout of the content composites, each causing display of an interface element allowing selective communications to a process-performing system to configure an executable function in accordance with parameters. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system comprising: one or more processing devices;
