Content associated with primary content

Abstract

Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to communicating content associated with primary content including media presented at a first device. Metadata information about the primary content is used to communicate associated content to a second device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computing system comprising:
 a synchronization module to receive synchronization information about primary content including media being presented at a first presentation device;   an associated content module to determine associated content related to the primary content based on the synchronization information; and   a communication module to transmit the associated content to a visual presentation device.   
     
     
         2 . The computing system of  claim 1 , wherein the associated content module further customizes the associated content for the visual presentation device based on profile information associated with a user of the visual presentation device. 
     
     
         3 . The computing system of  claim 2 , wherein the associated content is further customized based on social networking information of the user. 
     
     
         4 . The computing system of  claim 2 ,
 wherein the associated content module further determines second associated content based on the synchronization information and second profile information associated with a second user of a second visual presentation device, and   wherein the communication module transmits the second associated content to the second visual presentation device.   
     
     
         5 . The computing system of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a profile manager,   wherein the communication module receives rating information about the associated content from the visual presentation device, and   wherein the profile manager updates the profile information based on the rating information.   
     
     
         6 . The computing system of  claim 1 , wherein the visual presentation device is a mobile device. 
     
     
         7 . The computing system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a device association module to associate the first presentation device and the visual presentation device.   
     
     
         8 . The computing system of  claim 1 , wherein the associated content includes at least one of: a web link, an advertisement, a game, search information based on metadata of the primary content, a user comment feed, social media, and an online store. 
     
     
         9 . A method comprising:
 receiving metadata about primary content including media presented on a first device;   determining associated content based on the primary content and the metadata;   customizing the associated content for a second device based on profile information; and   transmitting the associated content to the second device.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the second device is one of: a tablet device, a mobile phone, and a portable media device. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the metadata includes timing information about the primary content. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 associating the first device and a third device;   customizing the associated content for the third device based on other profile information; and   communicating the associated content for the third device to the third device,   wherein the associated content for the third device is further based on the timing information.   
     
     
         13 . A mobile device comprising:
 an association module to associate the mobile device with a presentation device presenting primary content including media,   a communication module to communicate the association to an associated content platform and to receive associated content related with the primary content from the associated content platform,   wherein the associated content is synchronized to the primary content; and   a presentation module to present the secondary content.   
     
     
         14 . The mobile device of  claim 13 ,
 wherein the associated content is customized based on a profile associated with an account associated with the mobile device, and   wherein the associated content includes at least one of: a web link, an advertisement, a game, a user comment feed, social media, an online store, and descriptive information about the primary content.   
     
     
         15 . The mobile device of  claim 13 ,
 wherein the associated content includes context based selection information associated with the primary content,   the mobile device further comprising:   a selection module to select a portion of the context based selection information,   wherein the communication module causes the presentation of at least one of:   another portion of the primary content and a portion of another primary content on the presentation device based on the selected portion.
