Abstract
A method includes receiving, at a data processing device, a fingerprint of a media segment to be displayed on a media device and determining, by the data processing device, a number of times the media segment has been displayed on the media device based on the fingerprint. The method further includes determining, by the data processing device, whether the number of times the media segment has been displayed on the media device satisfies a threshold criterion. When the number of times the media segment has been displayed on the media device satisfies the threshold criterion, the method includes identifying, by the data processing device, an overlay content segment to be displayed on the electronic device in lieu of the media segment and instructing, by the data processing device, the media device to display the overlay content segment in lieu of the media segment.
