Abstract:
1. A method for manipulating content displayed on a viewing device located at a premises, the method comprising: receiving, by a receiver, position data from a wireless pointing device; calculating, by a remote processor, a current position for the electronic pointer relative to the viewing device based on the position data received from the wireless pointing device, wherein the remote processor is associated with a data server not located at the premises: rendering, by the remote processor, the electronic pointer in a video feed received from a video source, such that the electronic pointer is positioned at a location in the video feed that corresponds to the calculated current position of the electronic pointer based on the position data received from the wireless pointing device; receiving, by the receiver, an input selection from the wireless pointing device; upon receiving the input selection, identifying, by the remote processor, a current location in the video feed that corresponds to the calculated current position for the electronic pointer; identifying, by the remote processor, content in the video feed positioned at the current location; creating by the remote processer, a unique modified video feed to be displayed on the viewing device by modifying the video feed to include additional content from the data server that is related to the identified content; receiving, by the receiver, a manipulation request from the wireless pointing device to manipulate the additional content in the unique modified video feed; and dynamically manipulating, by the remote processor, the data feed that includes the additional content and delivering, by the data server, the manipulated content in the unique modified video feed to the viewing device for display thereon.
