Abstract
Systems and methods to modify playout or playback include a first and second approach to respond to a trick mode request (e.g., fast forward, rewind). First, a trick mode request may be responded to by associating primary content to secondary content and playing out the secondary content on a receiving device, the secondary content not being derived from the primary content. Second, a trick mode request may be responded to by associating primary content to secondary content and playing out the secondary content on a receiving device, the secondary content being derived from the primary content but played at a normal speed for the secondary content.
Claims7
A system including:
- a request module to receive a request for primary content;
- and
- a communication module to
- communicate primary content to a receiving device, the receiving device to render the primary content to an output device at a normal speed of the primary content,
- associate the primary content to secondary information,
- communicate the secondary information to the receiving device, the receiving device to utilize the secondary information to render secondary non-derivative content to the output device instead of the primary content, the secondary non-derivative content not being derived from the primary content, the receiving device to render the secondary non-derivative content responsive to receipt of a request to render the primary content at the receiving device at an accelerated speed of the primary content.
A method including:
- receiving a request for primary content;
- communicating primary content to a receiving device, the receiving device to render the primary content to an output device at a normal speed of the primary content;
- associating the primary content to secondary information;
- and
- communicating the secondary information to the receiving device, the receiving device to utilize the secondary information to render secondary non-derivative content to the output device instead of the primary content, the secondary non-derivative content not being derived from the primary content, the receiving device to render the secondary non-derivative content responsive to receipt of a request to render the primary content at the receiving device at an accelerated speed of the primary content.
A tangible machine readable medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
- receive a request for primary content;
- communicate primary content to a receiving device, the receiving device to render the primary content to an output device at a normal speed of the primary content;
- associate the primary content to secondary information;
- and
- communicate the secondary information to the receiving device, the receiving device to utilize the secondary information to render secondary non-derivative content to the output device instead of the primary content, the secondary non-derivative content not being derived from the primary content, the receiving device to render the secondary non-derivative content responsive to receipt of a request to render the primary content at the receiving device at an accelerated speed of the primary content.
