Abstract
A receiving device such as a set-top box or mobile device alters video of a scene that is currently being displayed based on recognition or detection in real time of objects or actions shown in the scene. In some embodiments, those scenes or portions of those scenes in which objects or actions shown in the scene are associated with adult content or other undesirable content are blocked until such objects or actions are no longer detected. In other embodiments, advertisements or factual information may be displayed based on scene content while the scene is playing. This is performed dynamically in real time at the set-top box such that the altered video and items to display need not be inserted or integrated in the video upstream at the remote server or content provider before it reaches the set-top box.
