1. A method comprising:
- identifying and characterizing meta-data associated with an original content being transferred from a source to a renderer which is to render the original content in a home network;
locating an alternate content for delivery to the renderer, in which the alternate content is identified by associating the alternate content to the original content via characterization of the meta-data; and
making available for delivery the alternate content, instead of the original content, to the renderer.

Abstract
A technique to identify and characterize meta-data associated with an original content that is being transferred from a source to a renderer in a home network, in which the original content is to be rendered by the renderer. Instead of making available for rendering the original content, an alternate content for delivery to the renderer is located, wherein the alternate content is identified by associating the alternate content to the original content via characterization of the meta-data. Then, the alternate content is rendered instead of the original content or rendered in addition to the original content.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor coupled to a home network to monitor content traffic on the home network when content from a source is transferred to a renderer to render the content; and a memory coupled to the processor to store a program set of instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to identify and characterize meta-data associated with an original content being transferred from the source to the renderer to render the original content, locate an alternate content for delivery to the renderer, in which the alternate content is identified by associating the alternate content to the original content via characterization of the meta-data, and make available for delivery the alternate content, instead of the original content, to the renderer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A machine-readable medium embodying a program of instructions thereon for execution by a machine, in which when the program is executed by the machine performs a process comprising:
-
identifying and characterizing meta-data associated with an original content being transferred from a source to a renderer which is to render the original content in a home network; locating an alternate content for delivery to the renderer, in which the alternate content is identified by associating the alternate content to the original content via characterization of the meta-data; and making available for delivery the alternate content, instead of the original content, to the renderer. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
