  • Publication number: 20080072132
    Abstract: The concurrent presentation technique provides information about content related to a source media currently being presented to a user in a fashion that allows the user to keep viewing the source media while either interactively or non-interactively perusing a list of related content. Thus, the user can see a list of related content without interrupting the presentation experience, and if desired, the user can choose to interact with the list to obtain further information about available related content.
