Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and software are provided for using an optically-readable code such as a quick-response (QR) code. The optically-readable code may represent a uniform resource identifier (URI) including parameters that represent a query, such as a query for content and/or other data. The query results may be used to command a content consumption device to record or otherwise obtain an item of content. The optically-readable code may additionally or alternatively be determined based upon a status of the device, such as what content, or portion thereof, is currently being displayed, and/or what error condition is being experienced.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for identifying computer programs/video games that are compatible with a particular content stream and obtaining metadata indicating various different states of the content stream or event depicted in the content stream. The metadata may be supplied as input state information to the computer programs/video games to begin a simulation of the event depicted in the content stream or to initiate a video game session corresponding to the state of the content stream.
