Recall and triggering system for control of on-air content at remote locations

A system comprising:

• a television network;
• and
• an affiliated station;
• the television network having a processor configured to:
• insert a command into a video;
• and
• transmit the video including the inserted command to the affiliated station;
• the affiliated station having a processor and a memory, the processor of the affiliated station configured to:
• receive, from the television network, the video including the inserted command using a data identifier (DID) and a secondary data identifier (SDID) and carried in an ancillary data area of the video;
• store the video and the inserted command in the memory, the memory also storing a command detection module and a local content element insertion module;
• after storing the video and the inserted command in the memory, detect, using the command detection module also stored in the memory, the inserted command by searching through the ancillary data area of the video stored in the memory;
• load a database based on the inserted command detected by searching through the video;
• identify a first content element, a second content element, and a third content element having a layering order in the video using image recognition performed by the command detection module and the local content element insertion module based on the inserted command detected by searching through the video;
• retrieve data from the database based on the inserted command detected by searching through the video;
• modify the video using the data retrieved based on the inserted command by changing the layering order of the first content element, the second content element, and the third content element to generate a modified video;
• and
• transmit the modified video to a display device.

A method for modifying a video based on an inserted command received from a television network, the method comprising:

• receiving the video from the television network, the video including the inserted command inserted into the video using a data identifier (DID) and a secondary data identifier (SDID) and carried in an ancillary data area of the video;
• storing the video and the inserted command in a memory, the memory also storing a command detection module and a local content element insertion module;
• after storing the video and the inserted command in the memory, detecting, using the command detection module also stored in the memory, the inserted command by searching through the ancillary data area of the video stored in the memory;
• loading a database based on the inserted command detected by searching through the video;
• identifying a first content element, a second content element, and a third content element having a layering order in the video using image recognition performed by the command detection module and the local content element insertion module based on the inserted command detected by searching through the video;
• retrieving data from the database based on the inserted command detected by searching through the video;
• modifying the video using the data retrieved based on the inserted command by changing the layering order of the first content element, the second content element, and the third content element to generate a modified video;
• and
• transmitting the modified video to a display device.
