Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A system, comprising: a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory having stored therein computer-executable instructions, comprising: a reception component configured to: receive a media stream comprising a plurality of temporal segments, at least one of the temporal segments of the media stream including logo information; and receive a supplemental stream, at substantially the same time as receiving the media stream, comprising at least one logo indicator, wherein each logo indicator identifies a temporal segment of the plurality of temporal segments and specifies an action to take on the temporal segment; and a processing component that selectively processes respective temporal segments in a rebroadcast of the media stream as a function of the at least one logo indicator.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the action comprises at least one of include the temporal segment in a rebroadcast of the media stream or exclude the temporal segment from the rebroadcast of the media stream and merge a temporal segment immediately preceding the temporal segment with another temporal segment immediately following the temporal segment.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the processing component includes the temporal segment in the rebroadcast of the media stream in response to the indicator specifying to include the temporal segment in the rebroadcast of the media stream.
4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the processing component excludes the temporal segment from the rebroadcast of the media stream and merges the temporal segment immediately preceding the temporal segment with the other temporal segment immediately following the temporal segment in response to the indicator specifying to exclude the temporal segment from the rebroadcast of the media stream and merge the temporal segment immediately preceding the temporal segment with the other temporal segment immediately following the temporal segment.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the action comprises at least one of include the temporal segment in the rebroadcast of the media stream, exclude the temporal segment from the rebroadcast of the media stream and merge a temporal segment immediately preceding the temporal segment with another temporal segment immediately following the temporal segment, or replace the temporal segment with a different temporal segment.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the temporal segment comprises explicit language.
7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the processing component further comprises a replacement component that replaces the temporal segment with the different temporal segment in response to the indicator specifying to replace the temporal segment with the different temporal segment.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the temporal segment is an advertisement.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the temporal segment comprises adult content.
10. A method, comprising: receiving a media stream comprising a plurality of temporal segments, at least one of the temporal segments including logo information; receiving a supplemental stream, concurrent to receiving the media stream, comprising at least one logo indicator, wherein each logo indicator identifies a temporal segment of the plurality of temporal segments and specifies an action to take on the temporal segment; and selectively performing actions on respective temporal segments for a rebroadcast of the media stream based on the at least one logo indicator.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the action comprises at least one of include the temporal segment in a rebroadcast of the media stream or exclude the temporal segment from the rebroadcast of the media stream and merge a temporal segment immediately preceding the temporal segment with another temporal segment immediately following the temporal segment.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the selectively performing the action on the temporal segment comprises including the temporal segment in the rebroadcast of the media stream in response to the indicator specifying to include the temporal segment in the rebroadcast of the media.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the selectively performing the action on the temporal segment comprises excluding the temporal segment from the rebroadcast of the media stream and merging a temporal segment immediately preceding the temporal segment with the other temporal segment immediately following the temporal segment in response to the indicator specifying to exclude the temporal segment from the rebroadcast of the media stream and merge the temporal segment immediately preceding the temporal segment with the other temporal segment immediately following the temporal segment.
14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the action comprises at least one of include the temporal segment in the rebroadcast of the media stream, exclude the temporal segment from the rebroadcast of the media stream and merge a temporal segment immediately preceding the temporal segment with another temporal segment immediately following the temporal segment, or replace the temporal segment with a different temporal segment.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution, cause a system including a processor to perform operations comprising: receiving a media stream comprising a plurality of temporal segments, at least one of the temporal segments of the media stream including logo information; receiving a supplementary stream, substantially simultaneous to receiving the media stream, comprising at least one logo indicator, wherein each logo indicator identifies a temporal segment of the plurality of temporal segments and specifies an action to take on the temporal segment; and selectively performing actions on respective temporal segments for a rebroadcast of the media stream based upon the at least one logo indicator.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the action comprises at least one of include the temporal segment in a rebroadcast of the media stream or exclude the temporal segment from the rebroadcast of the media stream and merge a temporal segment immediately preceding the temporal segment with another temporal segment immediately following the temporal segment.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the selectively performing the action on the temporal segment comprises including the temporal segment in the rebroadcast of the media stream in response to the indicator specifying to include the temporal segment in the rebroadcast of the media.
18. A system, comprising: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having stored therein computer-executable instructions comprising: means for receiving a media stream comprising a plurality of temporal segments, at least one of the temporal segments including logo information; means for receiving a supplemental stream, at substantially the same time as receiving the media stream, comprising the at least one logo indicator, wherein each logo indicator identifies a temporal segment of the plurality of temporal segments and specifies an action to take on the temporal segment; and means for selectively performing actions on respective temporal segments for a rebroadcast of the media stream as a function of the logo indicator.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the action comprises at least one of include the temporal segment in a rebroadcast of the media stream or exclude the temporal segment from the rebroadcast of the media stream and merge a temporal segment immediately preceding the temporal segment with another temporal segment immediately following the temporal segment.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the means for selectively performing the actions comprises means for including the temporal segment in the rebroadcast of the media stream in response to the indicator specifying to include the temporal segment in the rebroadcast of the media.
21. The system of claim 19 , wherein the means for selectively performing the actions comprises means for excluding the temporal segment from the rebroadcast of the media stream and merging the temporal segment immediately preceding the temporal segment with the other temporal segment immediately following the temporal segment in response to the indicator specifying to exclude the temporal segment from the rebroadcast of the media stream and merge the temporal segment immediately preceding the temporal segment with the other temporal segment immediately following the temporal segment.
