Abstract

An information processor determines what media content is currently and / or could be displayed on a primary viewing screen. The information processor then mines other sources of information to obtain associated information. This information can then be accessed by a user as raw data and / or further processed by the information processor and then accessed by the user. Typically, the associated information is displayed on a secondary screen. This allows, for example, an electronic programming guide to be enhanced with additional information.

This is especially useful for spontaneous or rapidly evolving programs, such as news programs where the description typically only states "news", etc. Thus, the user can now receive associated information about the content of the program t...
