Abstract
A method and system for reducing burn-in of a display is disclosed. A plurality of assets containing text, graphics, and video are stored and then gathered. These assets are then assembled into a template to form a video frame or “screen”, which is subsequently output in a video transport stream or video display. Based upon a trigger, the assets are gathered again and reassembled in a second template to form a second video frame or screen wherein the assets are in positions on the screen, which are different from those of the first screen. The second screen is subsequently output to the video transport stream and the process is repeated.

11. A method for reducing burn-in of a display, comprising:
-
storing a plurality of distinct visual assets, wherein the plurality of distinct visual assets includes a first visual asset comprising a first complete image and a second visual asset comprising a second complete image; in response to a trigger, automatically retrieving the first and second assets and generating a first screen comprising the first and second complete images, wherein the first complete image is positioned at a first screen position and the second complete image is positioned at a second screen position that is different than the first screen position; after generating the first screen, transmitting the first screen to a receiving device having a display or being coupled to a display, which receiving device is configured to display the first screen to a user of the receiving device; generating a screen update trigger after transmitting the first screen; in response to the screen update trigger, generating a second screen comprising the first image and a third image, wherein the screen position of the first image for the second screen is different than the screen position of the first image for the first screen; and after generating the second screen, transmitting the second screen to the receiving device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
