Processing content streams that include additional content segments added in response to detection of insertion messages

A system for processing content streams that include additional content segments added in response to detection of insertion messages, comprising:

• a reader device, comprising:
• a communication component that receives a content stream that comprises a source stream received from a content source that has been modified by adding an additional content segment to a portion of the source stream in response to detection of an insertion message included in the source stream;
• a signaling component that is operable to signal a stream processing device;
• and
• a processing unit that monitors the content stream and detects the insertion message in the content stream associated with the additional content segment that has been added into the source stream;
• wherein the processing unit signals the stream processing device based at least on the detected insertion message utilizing the signaling component to perform an operation on a portion of the content stream that includes the additional content segment;
• and
• wherein the operation comprises performing audio quality correction or audio level reduction on the portion of the content stream.

A method for processing content streams that include additional content segments added in response to detection of insertion messages, the method comprising:

• monitoring a content stream, utilizing a reading device, that comprises a source stream received from a content source that is modified by adding an additional content segment to a portion of the source stream in response to detection of an insertion message included in the source stream;
• detecting, utilizing the reading device, the insertion message in the content stream;
• and
• signaling a stream processing device utilizing the reading device to perform an operation on a portion of the content stream that includes the additional content segment based at least on the detected insertion message, wherein the operation comprises omitting insertion of a periodic interactive trigger that the stream processing device periodically inserts into the content stream in the portion of the content stream based at least on said signaling.

A system for processing content streams that include additional content segments added in response to detection of insertion messages, comprising:

• a reader device, comprising:
• a communication component that receives a content stream that comprises a source stream received from a content source that has previously been modified by adding an additional content segment to a portion of the source stream in response to detection of an insertion message included in the source stream;
• a signaling component that is operable to signal a stream processing device;
• and
• a processing unit that monitors the content stream and detects the insertion message in the content stream associated with the additional content segment that has previously been added into the source stream;
• wherein the processing unit signals the stream processing device based at least on the detected insertion message utilizing the signaling component to perform an operation on a portion of the content stream that includes the additional content segment;
• and
• wherein the operation comprises inserting a viewer interactive trigger in the portion of the content stream that includes the additional content segment based at least on the signaling.
