Abstract:
Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of triggering an instance of companion software to perform an expected action related to a piece of media content during a delivery of that media content by a media device to a content consuming user, the method comprising: the instance of the companion software receiving a synchronization signal transmitted when, in delivering the media content, the media device reaches a reference point in the media content, wherein the synchronisation signal conveys a time instant of that reference point; measuring a current elapsed time from the time instant of the reference point; accessing computer storage holding an association of the expected action with a time instant of a trigger point in the media content; and triggering the expected action when the current elapsed time substantially matches the time instant of the trigger point.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 8  comprising receiving, from each of the plurality of other companion devices, a respective distance measure indicative of a distance from that companion device to the master synchronization source, wherein the other companion device is indicated to be closest to the master synchronization source and is selected on that basis.
