Displaying data associated with a program based on automatic recognition

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform steps comprising:

• using a control computer, receiving media data for a particular media item;
• using the control computer, analyzing the media data to identify one or more content items related to the particular media item, wherein each content item of the one or more content items is associated with a respective time position in the particular media item;
• using the control computer, receiving, from a media controller computer, a request for the particular media item;
• in response to receiving the request for the particular media item, the control computer causing the particular media item to be delivered to the media controller computer, wherein the media controller computer is configured to cause playback of the particular media item;
• using the control computer receiving, from a second screen computer that is communicatively coupled to the media controller computer, a request for metadata associated with the particular media item;
• using the control computer sending, to the second screen computer, at least a portion of the one or more content items and the respective time position associated with each content item of the portion of the one or more content items, wherein the second screen computer is configured to display information related to each content item of the portion of the one or more content items when the playback of the particular media item by the media controller computer is at or near the respective time position associated with the content item.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing one or more instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform:
• receiving media data for a particular media item;
• analyzing the media data to identify one or more content items related the particular media item, wherein each content item of the one or more content items is associated with a respective time position in the particular media item;
• receiving, from a media controller computer, a request for the particular media item;
• in response to receiving the request for the particular media item, causing the particular media item to be delivered to the media controller computer, wherein the media controller computer is configured to cause playback of the particular media item;
• receiving, from a second screen computer that is communicatively coupled to the media controller computer, a request for metadata associated with the particular media item;
• sending, to the second screen computer, at least a portion of the one or more content items and the respective time position associated with each content item of the portion of the one or more content items, wherein the second screen computer is configured to display information related to each content item of the portion of the one or more content items when the playback of the particular media item by the media controller computer is at or near the respective time position associated with the content item.

A method comprising:

• using a control computer, receiving media data for a particular streaming video program;
• using the control computer, analyzing the media data to identify one or more images, one or more instances of text, or one or more hyperlinks related to the particular streaming video program, wherein each of the one or more images, one or more instances of text, or the one or more hyperlinks or web pages is associated with a respective time position in the particular streaming video program;
• using the control computer, receiving, from a streaming video controller computer, a request for the particular streaming video program;
• in response to receiving the request for the particular streaming video program, the control computer causing the particular streaming video program to be delivered to the streaming video controller computer, wherein the streaming video controller computer is configured to cause streaming the particular streaming video program to a video display;
• using the control computer receiving, from a mobile computing device that is communicatively coupled to the streaming video controller computer, a request for metadata associated with the particular streaming video program;
• using the control computer sending, to the mobile computing device, at least a portion of the one or more images, the one or more instances of text, or the one or more hyperlinks and the respective time position associated with each image, instance of text, or hyperlink of the portion of the one or more images, the one or more instances of text, or the one or more hyperlinks, wherein the mobile computing device is configured to display information related to each image, instance of text, or hyperlink of the portion of the one or more images, the one or more instances of text, or the one or more hyperlinks when playback of the particular streaming video program by the streaming video controller computer is at or near the respective time position associated with the particular streaming video program, wherein the mobile computing device is configured to display the information related to each image, instance of text, or hyperlink in a user interface that simultaneously displays a trickplay bar for controlling the playback of the particular streaming video program by the streaming video controller computer.
