METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MODIFYING THE PRESENTATION OF CONTENT
First Claim
1. A method for processing an audio/video stream, the method comprising:
- providing an audio/video stream including at least one segment of a show, at least one interstitial of the show and closed captioning data;
receiving location information referencing the closed captioning data to identify a video location within the audio/video stream;
receiving at least one off-set specified relative to the video location;
processing the audio/video stream to identify boundaries of the at least one segment of the show based on the location information and the off-set;
outputting the segment of the show for presentation by a display device;
modifying a volume of audio data corresponding with the interstitial; and
outputting the modified volume interstitial for presentation by the display device.

Abstract
Described herein are methods and apparatus for the identification of locations in a presentation stream based on metadata associated with the presentation stream. Locations within a presentation stream are identified using location information and/or signature data associated with the presentation stream. The identified locations within a presentation stream may be utilized to identify boundaries of segments within the presentation stream, such as segments of a show. The boundaries of the segments may then be utilized to change the volume of segments or playback a segment at a non-real time presentation rate.

11. A digital video recorder comprising:
-
a communication interface that receives an audio/video stream including at least one segment of a show, at least one interstitial of the show and closed captioning data; a storage medium; control logic communicatively coupled to the communication interface and the storage medium that; coordinates storage of the audio/video stream onto the storage medium; receives location information referencing the closed captioning data to identify a video location within the audio/video stream and at least one off-set specified relative to the video location; and processes the recorded audio/video stream to identify boundaries of the at least one segment of the show based on the location information and the off-set; an audio/video interface communicatively coupled to the control logic that outputs the segment of the show for presentation by a display device, modifies a volume of audio data corresponding with the interstitial and outputs the modified volume interstitial for presentation by the display device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
