Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a device having a controller programmed to detect an object within a first portion of a first occurrence of a repetitive portion of a media program. The object is modified, resulting in an updated object, and another portion of the first occurrence of the repetitive portion is left unmodified. The object is detected within a first portion of a subsequent instance of the repetitive portion of the media program and modified differently from the first, while maintaining other portions of the subsequent instance of the repetitive portion unmodified. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, a media program having a repetitive portion inserted therein, the repetitive portion of the media program containing a pre-defined object;
- modifying, by the processing system, the pre-defined object in a first instance of the repetitive portion of the media program based on a first option of an attribute, resulting in an updated first portion of the first instance of the repetitive portion of the media program, while leaving another portion of the first instance of the repetitive portion of the media program unmodified;
- presenting, by the processing system, the first instance of the repetitive portion of the media program;
- modifying, by the processing system, the pre-defined object in a second instance of the repetitive portion based on a second option of the attribute, resulting in an updated first portion of the second instance of the repetitive portion of the media program, while leaving another portion of the second instance of the repetitive portion of the media program unmodified;
- and
- presenting, by the processing system, the second instance of the repetitive portion of the media program, wherein the second instance of the repetitive portion of the media program is different than the first instance of the repetitive portion of the media program, thereby capturing viewer interest,
- wherein determining of the first option and the second option is based on predetermined instructions provided within a descriptor file.

A device comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving a media program having a repetitive portion therein, the repetitive portion of the media program containing an object;
- modifying the object in a first instance of the repetitive portion of the media program based on a first option of an attribute, resulting in an updated first portion of the first instance of the repetitive portion of the media program, while leaving another portion of the first instance of the repetitive portion of the media program unmodified;
- presenting, by the processing system, the first instance of the repetitive portion of the media program;
- modifying the object in a second instance of the repetitive portion based on a second option of the attribute, resulting in an updated first portion of the second instance of the repetitive portion of the media program, while leaving another portion of the second instance of the repetitive portion of the media program unmodified;
- and
- presenting, by the processing system, the second instance of the repetitive portion of the media program, wherein the second instance of the repetitive portion of the media program is different than the first instance of the repetitive portion of the media program, thereby capturing viewer interest,
- wherein determining of the first option and the second option is based on predetermined instructions provided within a descriptor file.
7 more elements
A machine-readable storage device, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:
- receiving media content;
- receiving a repetitive portion having an object therein;
- modifying the object based on a first option of an attribute, while leaving another portion of the repetitive portion unmodified;
- inserting the repetitive portion into the media content, resulting in a first instance of the repetitive portion;
- modifying the object based on a second option of the attribute, while leaving the another portion of the repetitive portion unmodified;
- and
- inserting the repetitive portion into the media content, resulting in a second instance of the repetitive portion, wherein the second instance of the repetitive portion is different than the first instance of the repetitive portion, thereby capturing viewer interest in the repetitive portion during presentation of the media content, and wherein determining of the first option and the second option is based on predetermined instructions provided within a descriptor file.
