Abstract

In one embodiment, a method of a relevancy-matching server includes generating a fingerprint data using a television, matching primary data generated from the fingerprint data with targeted data based on a relevancy factor, and searching a storage for the targeted data, a reference and/or a metadata. The primary data is a content identification data and/or a content identification history. An embedded object is processed using a mobile device capable of being associated with the television. An executable environment is constrained in a security sandbox of the mobile device. A sandboxed application is executed in the executable environment. The fingerprint data from the television and/or the mobile device is processed through a content identification server. The primary data from the fingerprint data is communicated to any devices with an access to identification data of the television and/or an automatic content identification service through the content identification server.

A method comprising:

generating a fingerprint data using a television from characteristic features of media data;
matching primary data generated from the fingerprint data with targeted data based on a relevancy factor using a relevancy-matching server;
searching a storage for at least one of the targeted data, a reference to the targeted data and a metadata of the targeted data using the relevancy-matching server,
wherein the primary data is any one of a content identification data and a content identification history;
constraining an executable environment in a security sandbox of a mobile device;
executing a sandboxed application in the executable environment of the mobile device;
associating the mobile device with the television based on:
executing a sandbox-reachable service on the television;
automatically announcing, through the television, the sandbox-reachable service to a discovery module executing at least one of:
on a pairing server external to the mobile device and as part of an extension of the security sandbox executing on the mobile device;
identifying the sandbox-reachable service offered through the television based on receiving, through the discovery module, the automatic announcement to enable the sandboxed application of the mobile device reach the sandbox-reachable service by communicating an identification data of the television via the sandbox-reachable service when a shared computer network is determined to be commonly associated with the mobile device and the television;
and
establishing bidirectional communication between the mobile device and the television based on the sandboxed application reaching the sandbox-reachable service to render the primary data available across the sandbox-reachable service and the sandboxed application;
processing an embedded object within the sandboxed application;
executing the embedded object through the sandboxed application to cause, through the relevancy-matching server, rendering of the targeted data via the sandboxed application;
processing the fingerprint data from at least one of the television and the mobile device through a content identification server;
and
communicating the primary data from the fingerprint data to any of a number of devices with an access to at least one of:
the identification data of the television and an identification data of an automatic content identification service of the television through the content identification server.
