Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems and apparatuses for providing supplemental audio / video content in, for example, a non-linear presentation. In accordance with various embodiment of the present invention, a user can seamlessly obtain, in real time, additional, supplementary content associated with a main presentation in accordance with the user's preference. For example, a main data stream including consecutive, categorized segments of content can be transmitted simultaneously with one or more complementary data streams that include supplemental content associated with the categorized segments in the main data stream. A user can then be prompted to select a complementary data stream and, in response to user-selection, the complementary data stream can be presented to the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the transmission and presentation of audio / video content, and more particularly to methods, devices and systems for transmission and presentation of audio / video content in non-linear presentations. Background technique [0002] Traditional broadcasting systems usually present content in a linear manner. For example, for a news program, news reports are sequentially connected in time, that is, one news report starts at the end of another news report, and is presented to viewers in order. Generally speaking, users cannot customize the content in linear presentation. However, existing systems still allow users to customize and personalize content in a limited manner. Using a digital video recorder (Digital Video Recorder, DVR) is one way. Users can control the presentation and sequence of downloaded content through operations such as play, pause, fast forward, and rewind. In addition, DVRs allow users to reco...
