Abstract
An embodiment of a system and method wherein a streaming ticker information relating to a video content is integrated with the video content and transmitted to a customer device over a communication network.
Claims18
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions, executable by a processor, the program instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving first user input identifying a video program;
- receiving second user input identifying customized streaming ticker information;
- filtering information included in a received streaming ticker based on the customized streaming ticker information to generate a customized streaming ticker;
- and
- generating a customized program including the customized streaming ticker and the video program wherein the customized program includes:
- first-type packets comprising a majority of the customized program, wherein the first-type packets include a user datagram protocol header and a payload corresponding to the user datagram protocol, wherein the payload includes compressed video;
- and
- second-type packets comprising a minority of the customized program, wherein the second-type packets include a transmission control protocol header encapsulating a user datagram protocol header and a corresponding payload, wherein the corresponding payload includes compressed video and a smart tag associated with a product, wherein the second-type packets occur in a portion of the video program in which the product appears;
- and
- responsive to receiving third user input indicating a particular item on the customized streaming ticker, providing detailed information regarding the particular item.

A server including:
- a processor;
- and
- non-transitory computer readable medium accessible to the processor, the computer readable medium comprising program instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
- receiving first user input identifying a video program;
- receiving second user input identifying customized streaming ticker information;
- filtering content in a received streaming ticker based on the customized streaming ticker information to generate a customized streaming ticker;
- and
- generating a customized program including the customized streaming ticker and the video program wherein the customized program includes:
- first-type packets comprising a majority of the customized program, wherein the first-type packets include a user datagram protocol header and a payload corresponding to the user datagram protocol header, wherein the payload includes compressed video;
- and
- second-type packets comprising a minority of the customized program, wherein the second-type packets include a transmission control protocol header encapsulating a user datagram protocol header and a corresponding payload, wherein the corresponding payload includes compressed video and a smart tag associated with a product, wherein the second type packets occur in a portion of the video program in which the product appears;
- and
- responsive to receiving third user input identifying a particular item on the customized streaming ticker, providing detailed information regarding the particular item.

A method for customizing content, the method including:
- receiving first user input identifying a video program;
- receiving second user input identifying customized streaming ticker information;
- filtering content in a received streaming ticker based on the customized streaming ticker information to generate a customized streaming ticker;
- and
- generating a customized program including the customized streaming ticker and the video program wherein the customized program includes:
- first-type packets comprising a majority of the customized program, wherein the first-type packets include a user datagram protocol header and a payload corresponding to the user datagram protocol header, wherein the payload includes compressed video;
- and
- second-type packets comprising a minority of the customized program, wherein the second-type packets include a transmission control protocol header encapsulating a user datagram protocol header and a corresponding payload, wherein the corresponding payload includes compressed video and a smart tag associated with a product, wherein the second type packets occur in a portion of the video program in which the product appears;
- and
- responsive to receiving third user input selecting a particular item on the customized streaming ticker, providing detailed information regarding the particular item.
