Abstract
Various embodiments of systems, apparatus, and/or methods are described for selectively obscuring a rendering of a media stream. In one implementation, the method includes receiving a media stream with a receiving device, receiving event data associated with the media stream, generating identification data based at least in part on the event data, presenting the media stream and identification data on a presentation device, receiving at least one participant selection from a user interface device, retrieving participant information based on the at least one participant selection, and presenting the participant information on the presentation device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a media stream with a receiving device;
- receiving event data associated with the media stream;
- generating, by the receiving device, identification data based at least in part on the event data;
- providing the media stream and the identification data to a presentation device;
- receiving at least one participant selection from a user interface device based on the provided identification data;
- retrieving participant information based on the at least one participant selection;
- and
- providing the participant information to the presentation device.
A receiving device, comprising:
- a communication module configured to receive a media stream and event data associated with the media stream;
- a control logic configured to generate identification data based at least in part on the event data;
- a rendering module configured to provide the media stream and the identification data to a presentation device;
- and
- a user communication module configured to receive at least one participant selection from a user interface device based on the identification data provided to the presentation device,
- wherein the control logic retrieves participant information based on the at least one participant selection, and wherein the rendering module provides the participant information to the presentation device.
