Patent ID: 8621505

Claim:
A method comprising: accessing a source signal, the source signal including a video signal and closed caption information embedded within the video signal; extracting the closed caption information from the source signal; determining additional information associated with the video signal; accessing the additional information from an information source over the Internet; utilizing a server for analyzing the video signal to determine first positional information associated with images of video content; utilizing the server for writing a positional information packet identification associated with a video stream in accordance with the analyzing of the video signal and the determined first positional information, wherein the positional information packet identification identifies positions in the images determined by the server that accommodate placing an additional graphic overlay; receiving a content request over a network from an end user access device; accessing a caption setting associated with the end user access device; providing the video signal in the video stream over the network to the end user access device for presentation on a display device in communication with the end user access device; providing the additional information to the end user access device over the network for presentation in the additional graphic overlay of the video signal; providing the positional information packet identification to the end user access device over the network; and providing the closed caption information in a caption stream to the end user access device over the network in accordance with the accessing of the caption setting, the closed caption information being configured for translation into a target language by the end user access device to generate translated closed caption information in accordance with the accessing of the caption setting, wherein the video signal is configured for an analysis by the end user access device to determine second positional information associated with the images of the video content, the second positional information indicating positions in the images determined by the end user access device that accommodate placing the additional graphic overlay, wherein the additional graphic overlay is configured for presentation with respect to the video signal at the display device in accordance with the positional information packet identification and the second positional information.
