Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for enhancement of media experience that comprises transmitting, by a first computing device, a data stream stored in a first storage region of the first computing device to an output device connected to the first computing device, providing, by a trigger module, a trigger that is linked to the data stream, detecting, by a detection module, the trigger while the data stream is being transmitted, and providing, by a content module, additional data in response to detecting the trigger. Furthermore, a system for enhancement of media experience is described.

Claims (25)

1. A method comprising the following steps:

transmitting, by a first computing device, a data stream stored in a first storage region of the first computing device to an output device connected to the first computing device;

providing, by a trigger module, a trigger which is linked to the data stream;

detecting, by a detection module, the trigger while the data stream is being transmitted; and

providing, by a content module, additional data in response to detecting the trigger.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data stream is a linear content.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trigger is included in the data stream.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trigger is linked to content of the data stream.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content module is a metadata generator.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the additional data is another data stream.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content module is implemented on a second computing device and the additional data is stored in a second storage region of the second computing device.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first computing device and the second computing device are connected with each other.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

detecting a user device which is connected to the content module; and

transmitting the additional data to the user device.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the additional data is personalized data for a user of the user device.

11. A system comprising:

a first computing device having a first storage region in which a data stream is stored, wherein the first computing device is configured to transmit the data stream to an output device connected to the first computing device;

a trigger module configured to provide a trigger linked to the data stream;

a detection module configured to detect the trigger while the data stream is being transmitted; and

a content module configured to provide additional data in response to detecting the trigger.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the content module is implemented in a second computing device and the additional data is stored in a second storage region of the second computing device.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the first computing device and the second computing device are connected with each other.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the content module is a metadata generator.

15. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a user device which is connected to the content module, wherein the content module is configured to provide the additional data to the user device.
