Abstract: A method for delivering supplemental content associated with audio/visual content to a user of the audio/visual content is presented. In the method, the audio/visual content and the supplemental content are received. The audio/visual content is then transferred as a stream to a first device for presentation to the user. The supplemental content is transferred to a second device for presentation to the user. The transferred supplemental content is organized into segments, wherein each of the segments is to be presented by the second device to the user in synchronization with the presentation of a corresponding portion of the audio/visual content.

Abstract translation: 呈现用于将与音频/视觉内容相关联的补充内容递送给音频/视频内容的用户的方法。 在该方法中，接收音频/视频内容和补充内容。 然后将音频/视频内容作为流传送到第一设备以呈现给用户。 补充内容被传送到第二设备以呈现给用户。 转移的补充内容被组织成段，其中每个段将由第二设备以与音频/视频内容的相应部分的呈现同步的方式呈现给用户。

Abstract: A method for employing a controlled-modification current time value is presented. In the method, the current time value is maintained. Also, requests for modification of the current time value are received. The requests are processed so that the requested modification associated with one of the requests is immediately incorporated into the current time value, and so that the requested modification associated with another one of the requests is not immediately incorporated into the current time value.

Abstract: Presented herein is a method of blocking user-selected media content, such as, for example, audio and/or video content. In the method, at least one media content stream is presented to a user, wherein the at least one media content stream includes multiple showings of an identifiable contiguous segment of media content. One example of such a segment may be a commercial or advertisement. While presenting a current showing of the segment of media content to the user, a command is received from a user to block the segment of media content from presentation to the user. In response to receiving the command, information identifying the segment of media content is generated. The at least one media content stream is analyzed using the information to detect subsequent showings of the segment of media content. Presentation of at least one of the subsequent showings of the segment of media content is prevented when detected in the at least one media content stream.

Abstract translation: 这里提出的是阻止用户选择的媒体内容的方法，例如音频和/或视频内容。 在该方法中，向用户呈现至少一个媒体内容流，其中所述至少一个媒体内容流包括可识别的连续的媒体内容段的多个显示。 这样的片段的一个例子可以是商业广告或广告。 在向用户呈现媒体内容的片段的当前显示的同时，从用户接收命令以阻止媒体内容的片段呈现给用户。 响应于接收到该命令，生成识别媒体内容的段的信息。 使用该信息来分析至少一个媒体内容流，以检测媒体内容的片段的后续显示。 当在至少一个媒体内容流中被检测到时，防止媒体内容片段的后续显示中的至少一个的呈现。
