Video viewing experience enhancement through custom curation

摘要

A system and method for replacing undesirable content in a media stream provides viewers with a highly individualized video viewing experience. A monitoring station detects undesirable content and selects substitute content based upon user preferences stored in a system database. The substitute content may have attributes related to both the primary content being viewed and the user preferences. A first trigger signal is transmitted to an output device which transmits media to the user's display. In response to the first trigger signal, the output device switches from the first media stream to a second media stream containing the substitute content. In embodiments, undesirable content is detected and substituted for in real-time.
