Abstract: Disclosed systems for selectively associating cues with stored video frames, and methods of operation. An exemplary video processing system comprises a video recording system and a video playback system. The video recording system (i) receives a digital content stream and (ii) stores the video track data associated therewith as video frames in a storage device. The video recording system comprises a content detection controller operable, in response to received content descriptor data, to (i) detect a subset of the video frames associated with select content in the received digital content stream, and (ii) associate a cue with at least one of the subset of the video frames.

Abstract: An interface device and method for use with an intelligent content-broadcast network. User profile information is collected and stored in a memory device assessable to a secondary content processor. Secondary content is information, such as advertisements from a television network source, that is available for insertion into the primary broadcast stream as appropriate. When a particular user is identified as viewing a primary-content program, a processor associates the user with a stored profile and uses the profile information to determine what, if any, secondary content should be inserted and thus presented to the user as if it had been a part of the broadcast stream. The portion of the primary broadcast stream where secondary content may be inserted is indicated by embedded cues.

Abstract translation: 一种与智能内容广播网络一起使用的接口设备和方法。 用户简档信息被收集并存储在可评估给辅助内容处理器的存储器设备中。 次要内容是适当地可用于插入到主广播流中的信息，例如来自电视网络源的广告。 当特定用户被识别为查看主内容节目时，处理器将用户与存储的简档相关联，并且使用简档信息来确定应当插入次要内容（如果有的话），并且因此呈现给用户，就好像它具有 是广播流的一部分。 可以插入辅助内容的主广播流的部分由嵌入的线索指示。
