## Abstract

A method includes sending a message from a media device to a mobile device, the message including set-up information related to a communication session. The method includes facilitating establishment of a wireless peer-to-peer communication session with the mobile device in response to a selection of a selectable link at the mobile device. The selectable link is based on the set-up information. The method includes exchanging data with the mobile device via the wireless peer-to-peer communication session. The method also includes sending, from the media device to a display device coupled to the media device, a first display based on the data. The mobile device sends a second display based on the data to a mobile device display of the mobile device, where the first display is different than the second display.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
sending a message from a media device to a mobile device, the message including set-up information related to a communication session;
facilitating establishment of a wireless peer-to-peer communication session with the mobile device in response to a selection of a selectable link at the mobile device, the selectable link based on the set-up infoiivation;
exchanging data with the mobile device via the wireless peer-to-peer communication session; and
sending, from the media device to a display device coupled to the media device, a first display based on the data, wherein the mobile device sends a second display based on the data to a mobile device display of the mobile device, the first display different than the second display.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a display identifying a catalog of content, wherein the message is generated based on a content item selected from the catalog of content.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising retrieving an identifier of the mobile device and wherein the message is sent to the mobile device based on the identifier.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, further comprising generating a display including a prompt requesting the identifier of the mobile device and receiving the identifier of the mobile device responsive to the prompt.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the identifier of the mobile device includes a telephone number.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the identifier of the mobile device is retrieved from a memory of the media device.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the set-up information enables the mobile device to connect to an application programming interface associated with an application executing at the media device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the application comprises a game.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein the first display does not include information displayed in the second display, the information associated with a user of the mobile device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the sending the message to the mobile device is performed responsive to the media device executing a particular program.

### Claim 11

A media device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory accessible to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
causing a message to be sent to a mobile device, the message including set-up information related to a communication session;
facilitating establishment of a wireless peer-to-peer communication session with the mobile device in response to a selection of a selectable link at the mobile device, the selectable link based on the set-up information;
exchanging data with the mobile device via the wireless peer-to-peer communication session; and
causing a first display based on the data to be sent to a display device coupled to the processor, wherein the mobile device sends a second display based on the data to a mobile device display of the mobile device, the first display different than the second display.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The media device of claim 11, further comprising an interface, the interface configured to support the wireless peer-to-peer communication session via a wireless local area network.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The media device of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise receiving an identifier of the mobile device as user input in response to a prompt, and wherein the message is sent to the mobile device based on the identifier.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The media device of claim 11, wherein the message is generated based on a content item selected from a catalog of content sent to the display device.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The media device of claim 11, wherein the message includes information to identify a mobile device program executable at the mobile device to facilitate establishment of the wireless peer-to-peer communication session.

### Claim 16

A computer-readable storage device storing instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a media device, a message including set-up information for establishing a wireless peer-to-peer communication session with the media device;
causing a first display to be sent to a display device coupled to the processor, the first display including a selectable link associated with the set-up information;
facilitating establishment of the wireless peer-to-peer communication session with the media device in response to a selection of the selectable link;
exchanging data with the media device via the wireless peer-to-peer communication session; and
causing a second display based on the data to be sent to the display device, wherein the media device sends a particular display based on the data to a second display device coupled to the media device, the second display different than the particular display.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The computer-readable storage device of claim 16, wherein the set-up information enables connection to an application programming interface associated with an application executing at the media device.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The computer-readable storage device of claim 17, wherein the operations further comprise, in response to the selection of the selectable link, retrieving a mobile device application corresponding to the application via a network and initiating the mobile device application.

### Claim 19 (depends on 17)

The computer-readable storage device of claim 17, wherein the application comprises a game.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The computer-readable storage device of claim 19, wherein the second display includes game information associated with a player of the game, the game information not included in the particular display.
