Abstract

See full text

A system and method are provided for utilizing a secondary device to overlay disassociated media elements onto video content presented to a user via a primary device. In general, an overlay control function of a secondary device provides an overlay input to a primary device playing video content. The overlay input includes one or more media elements forming the overlay as well as information defining a desired position of the overlay. In response, an overlay rights enforcement function of the primary device obtains overlay access rights and determines whether the overlay is permitted based on overlay access rights. If the overlay is permitted, the overlay formed by the one or more media elements provided in the overlay input received from the secondary device is overlaid on top of the video content being played by the primary device.
