20110008016 | DIGITAL MICRO AD (DMA) CONTENT DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A Digital Micro Ad (DMA) system and method designed to adapt to changing viewer behavior by detecting spot fast-forward, or other trick play, and popping a graphic, or other messages, over video. This graphic displays the advertiser brand message to achieve a brief imprint on the viewer. The DMA system augments the linear advertisement or the like (the spot) so the advertiser can reach their intended target audience. The system starts with offline media processing. Off the shelf encoded spots are processed to embed DMA enabling content identifying “metadata” packets and in-line graphics images. Next, when the content is played to air, this DMA enabled content is streamed to the DVR device. Within the DVR, the DMA engine detects the embedded graphic images which are recovered and saved in the DVR. Finally, when a DVR recorded program is played back, the embedded content ID metadata packets “arm” the DMA engine. When the content is fast-forwarded for example, over the spot, a graphic image may be popped into the graphics plane over the fast-forwarding video image, and is timed to persist for a few seconds to make the impression. | 01-13-2011 |
