Content Management System and Method for Use of Same

A system for content management, the system comprising:

• a set-top box including:
• a housing securing a signal input, a signal output, a processor, memory, and storage therein,
• a busing architecture communicatively interconnecting the signal input, the signal output, the processor, the memory, and the storage,
• the signal input configured to receive a source signal from an external source, the source signal including a stream of network programming having a plurality of time slots interposed therein,
• the signal output configured to forward a fully tuned signal to a display,
• the memory accessible to the processor, the memory including processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• receive a schedule from a server, the schedule including a listing of the plurality of time slots,
• store the schedule at the set-top box,
• receive content relative to a designated time slot from the server according to the schedule,
• store the content at the set-top box,
• receive network programming on the signal input and forward the network programming to the display via the signal output,
• detect signaling data indicative of the designated time slot within the network programming,
• interpose the content at the designated time slot within the network programming and forward the interposed content to the display via the signal output,
• send set-top box data to the server, the set-top box data including confirmation of the displayed interposed content to the server, and
• following the forwarding of the interposed content, receive network programming on the signal input and forward the network programming to the display via the signal output;
• and
• the server located remote to the set-top box, the server including:
• a housing securing inputs, outputs, a processor, memory, and storage therein,
• a busing architecture communicatively interconnecting the inputs, outputs, the processor, the memory, and the storage, and
• the memory accessible to the processor, the memory including processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• receive the set-top box data from the set-top box.

• render a map view of a residence having the set-top box therein based on obtained map data, the map view including a graphical representation of the room having the set-top box therein and a plurality of other room rooms at the residence, and
• annotate the graphical representation of the room with at least a portion of the set-top box data.
