## Abstract

Techniques for initiating download of content are provided, including receiving, by one or more processors of the mobile computing device, an indication of a selection, made by a user of the mobile computing device, associated with third-party content provided by a proximate media player device; identifying, by the one or more processors of the mobile computing device, an indication of downloadable content associated with the third-party content displayed by the media player device; and downloading, by the one or more processors of the mobile computing device, in response to receiving the indication that the user selected the icon and without further input from the user, the downloadable content to a memory of the mobile computing device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
sending, by a server device, primary media content and additional content to a media player device configured to provide the primary media content and the additional content;
receiving, by the server device, from the media player device, an indication of a user selection associated with the additional content provided via the media player device;
identifying, by the server device, based on receiving the indication of the user selection associated with the additional content displayed via the media player device, application content associated with the additional content provided via the media player device; and
sending, by the server device, to a mobile computing device of a user associated with the user selection, an indication of the identified application content associated with the additional content provided via the media player device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein sending the indication of the identified application content to the mobile computing device associated with the user includes sending, to the mobile computing device associated with the user, a content item accessible by a mobile device application to the mobile computing device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:
identifying, by the server device, the user associated with the user selection based on the user signing in to a media player application of the media player device; and
determining, by the server device, one or more of the mobile computing device or a mobile device application associated with the user based on the user signing in to the mobile computing device or the mobile device application.

### Claim 4

A computer system, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory memories storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
send primary media content and additional content to a media player device configured to provide the primary media content and the additional content;
receive, from the media player device, an indication of a user selection associated with the additional content provided via the media player device;
identify, based on receiving the indication of the user selection associated with the additional content displayed via the media player device, application content associated with the additional content provided via the media player device; and
send, to a mobile computing device associated with the user, an indication of the identified application content associated with the additional content provided via the media player device.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The computer system of claim 4, wherein sending the indication of the identified application content to the mobile computing device associated with the user includes sending, to the mobile computing device associated with the user, a content item accessible by a mobile device application to the mobile computing device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The computer system of claim 4, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:
identify the user associated with the user selection based on the user signing in to a media player application of the media player device; and
determine one or more of the mobile computing device or a mobile device application associated with the user based on the user signing in to the mobile computing device or the mobile device application.

### Claim 7

One or more non-transitory memories storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
send primary media content and additional content to a media player device configured to provide the primary media content and the additional content;
receive, from the media player device, an indication of a user selection associated with the additional content provided via the media player device;
identify, based on receiving the indication of the user selection associated with the additional content displayed via the media player device, application content associated with the additional content provided via the media player device; and
send, to a mobile computing device associated with the user, an indication of the identified application content associated with the additional content provided via the media player device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The one or more non-transitory memories of claim 7, wherein sending the indication of the identified application content to the mobile computing device associated with the user includes sending, to the mobile computing device associated with the user, a content item accessible by a mobile device application to the mobile computing device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The one or more non-transitory memories of claim 7, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:
identify the user associated with the user selection based on the user signing in to a media player application of the media player device; and
determine one or more of the mobile computing device or a mobile device application associated with the user based on the user signing in to the mobile computing device or the mobile device application.
