METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REPLACEMENT OF AUDIO DATA IN RECORDED AUDIO/VIDEO STREAM
First Claim
1. A method for replacing audio data within a recorded audio/video stream, the method comprising:
- storing a first audio/video stream, wherein the first audio/video stream comprises audio data, video data, and supplemental data;
receiving an audio data segment;
receiving location information in a data file separately from the first audio/video stream, wherein the location information references the supplemental data of the first audio/video stream to identify a location within the first audio/video stream;
replacing at least a portion of the audio data of the first audio/video stream at the identified location with the audio data segment to produce a second audio/video stream; and
transferring at least a portion of the second audio/video stream for presentation.

Abstract
A method for replacing audio data within a recorded audio/video stream is presented. In the method, a first audio/video stream including audio data, video data, and supplemental data is stored. Location information is received which references the supplemental data to identify a location within the first audio/video stream. The location information is received in a data file separately from the first audio/video stream. Also received is an audio data segment. At least a portion of the audio data of the first audio/video stream is replaced at the identified location with the audio data segment to produce a second audio/video stream. At least a portion of the second audio/video stream is then transferred for presentation.

11. A method for replacing audio data within a contiguous block of audio/video data, comprising:
-
transmitting a contiguous block of audio/video data over a communication network to a receiving device, wherein the contiguous block comprises audio data, video data, and supplemental data; storing the contiguous block at the receiving device; transmitting an audio data segment over the communication network to the receiving device; transmitting location information over the communication network to the receiving device in a data file separately from the contiguous block, wherein the location information references the supplemental data to indicate a location within the contiguous block; replacing at least a portion of the audio data of the contiguous block at the indicated location with the audio data segment to yield a second contiguous block; and transferring at least a portion of the second contiguous block from the receiving device to a display device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A receiving device for replacing audio data within a recorded audio/video stream, the receiving device comprising:
-
a communication interface configured to receive a first audio/video stream, an audio data segment, and location information, wherein the first audio/video stream comprises audio data, video data, and supplemental data, and wherein the location information is received in a data file separate from the first audio/video stream and references the supplemental data to identify a location within the first audio/video stream; a storage unit configured to store the first audio/video stream and the audio data segment; an audio/video interface configured to transmit audio/video streams to a display device; and control logic configured to replace at least a portion of the audio data of the first audio/video stream at the identified location with the audio data segment to produce a second audio/video stream, and transfer at least a portion of the second audio/video stream to the audio/video interface. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
