Abstract
A system and method for remunerating a display of a cognate substitute image sequence is disclosed. Images sequences in received video content are examined for sequences that are cognate to known image sequences. When detected, such sequences are replaced with cognate substitute image sequences to create a modified video image stream that is displayed on a display screen. A reasonable remuneration for displaying the cognate substitute image is automatically calculated. This monetary charge reflects the nature of the image sequence, the time it was displayed for, the time at which was displayed and the number of electronic devices within viewing range of the display at the time of display. This remuneration is accumulated, and equivalent digital assets automatically transferred between client and provider accounts at an appropriate time.
