US 2012/0233048 A1 · Content-Related Financial Portal

Abstract

A content receiver provides content received from a content provider. While providing such content, the content receiver determines to provide a financial portal. The content receiver ascertains context-specific information to include in the financial portal based on the content. Then, the content receiver transmits a combination of the financial portal and the content to a display device. The financial portal may include various menus and/or interfaces that enable performance activities related to financial products and/or financial and/or brokerage accounts. In ascertaining information, the content receiver may evaluate the content to determine information to include, such as by analyzing metadata that corresponds to the content and/or performing content recognition analysis on the content. The content receiver may determine to provide the financial portal in response to user input and/or in response to the occurrence of an event corresponding to an automatic and/or user defined trigger.
