Abstract: Systems and methods to play secondary media content include responding to a trick mode request (e.g., fast forward, rewind). A system receives a message from a device playing primary media content, and the message includes a first identifier of the primary media content, a secondary identifier of a playback direction, and a third identifier of a playback speed. Next, the system executes an application that results in identification of a media asset based on the first identifier, selection of media frames from the media asset, and generation of secondary media content based on the selected media frames, the second identifier, and the third identifier. Next, the system provides the secondary media content to the device. The provided secondary media content enables the device to play the secondary media content instead of continuing to play the primary media content.

Abstract: Systems and methods to modify playout/playback include responding to a trick mode request (e.g., fast forward, rewind). First, the system generates a transmission that includes primary content and a secondary information identifier. Next, the system communicates the transmission to a receiving device that stores the transmission in a local storage device. Next, the receiving device retrieves the transmission from the local storage device and utilizes the secondary information identifier to associate the primary content with a secondary content. Next, the receiving device to renders the secondary content, instead of the primary content, to an output device, at the receiving device, responsive to receipt of a request to render the primary content to the output device at an accelerated speed of the primary content.

Abstract: Systems and methods to modify playout/playback include responding to a trick mode request (e.g., fast forward, rewind). First, a transmission is received at a receiving device. The transmission includes primary content and a secondary information identifier and is stored on a storage device. Next, primary content is rendered to an output device at the receiving device at a normal speed for the primary content. Next, a request is received to render the primary content to an output device at the receiving device at an accelerated speed of the primary content. Next, the primary content is associated to secondary derivative content based on the secondary information identifier. Finally, the secondary derivative content is rendered instead of the primary content, to the output device at the receiving device at a normal speed for the secondary derivative content.

Abstract: An anonymous aggregated data collection system aggregates media access information in an anonymous data collection component without associating the media access information with any one particular client device. The anonymous data collection component further prevents a network operator, content provider, or third party from correlating the media access information obtained from a client device with any one particular subscriber by comparing a unique identifier of the client device with corresponding subscription account and subscriber personal identification information.

Abstract: Systems and methods to modify playout or playback include a first and second approach to respond to a trick mode request (e.g., fast forward, rewind). First, a trick mode request may be responded to by associating primary content to secondary content and playing out the secondary content on a receiving device, the secondary content not being derived from the primary content. Second, a trick mode request may be responded to by associating primary content to secondary content and playing out the secondary content on a receiving device, the secondary content being derived from the primary content but played at a normal speed for the secondary content.

Abstract: In an implementation of media content navigation associated advertising, media content is rendered which can include a program and/or audio. When a media content navigation input is received, a navigation indicator is displayed and an advertisement can be rendered while the navigation indicator is displayed.
