Method and Apparatus for Modifying a Stream of Digital Content
First Claim
2. A method for modifying a stream of digital content transmitted via a first connection by a transmitting device, the stream of digital content being related to at least one time code, the method comprising:
- a. generating at least one cue point for the stream of digital content; and
b. transmitting the at least one cue point via a second connection, the at least one cue point modifying the stream of digital content when the at least one time code related to the stream of digital content matches the at least one cue point.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for modifying a stream of digital content received via a first data connection at a reproducing device, the stream of digital content being related to at least one time code. The method comprises the following steps when reproducing the stream of digital content: (a) receiving at least one cue point by the reproducing device via a second data connection; and (b) modifying the stream of digital content by the reproducing device when the at least one time code related to the stream of digital content matches the at least one cue point.
