Tracking User Interaction from a Receiving Device

An apparatus for outputting a data construct including embedded temporal information, the apparatus comprising:

• a storage medium operative to store audiovisual content that the apparatus receives via a first network at a first time, the audiovisual content corresponding to television content;
• a processing unit operative to receive a command to replay the audiovisual content from the storage medium;
• a matrix code module operatively connected to the processing unit, the matrix code module operative to generate a matrix code including a temporal identifier and a content identifier corresponding to the audiovisual content;
• and
• an output component operative to output, in response to the command to replay the audiovisual content, the audiovisual content and the matrix code for display at a second time with the matrix code overlaid on the audiovisual content;
• wherein the matrix code, including the temporal identifier, indicates the second time at which the audiovisual content is replayed.

A method for outputting a data construct including embedded temporal information, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a television receiver, audiovisual content via a first network at a first time, the audiovisual content corresponding to television content;
• storing, by the television receiver, the audiovisual content in a storage medium;
• receiving, by the television receiver, a command to replay the audiovisual content from the storage medium;
• generating, by the television receiver, a matrix code including a temporal identifier and a content identifier corresponding to the audiovisual content;
• in response to the command to replay the audiovisual content, outputting, by the television receiver, the audiovisual content and the matrix code for display at a second time with the matrix code overlaid on the audiovisual content;
• wherein the matrix code, including the temporal identifier, indicates the second time at which the audiovisual content is replayed.

One or more non-transitory, machine-readable storage media having machine-readable instructions for outputting a data construct including embedded temporal information the machine-readable instructions to cause one or more processors to perform:

• processing audiovisual content via a first network at a first time, the audiovisual content corresponding to television content;
• storing the audiovisual content in a storage medium;
• processing a command to replay the audiovisual content from the storage medium;
• generating a matrix code including a temporal identifier and a content identifier corresponding to the audiovisual content;
• in response to the command to replay the audiovisual content, causing output of the audiovisual content and the matrix code for display at a second time with the matrix code overlaid on the audiovisual content;
• wherein the matrix code, including the temporal identifier, indicates the second time at which the audiovisual content is replayed.
