Disclosed is a method and system in which "labels," comprising
supplemental information such as advertising, promotional, or
informational elements including interactive elements, may be
superimposed post-production into a video stream. This can be done by
using overlay screens including interactive overlay screens or by
combining video segments. As such, the labels do not have to physically
be part of the actual scene during filming. Once a video stream is
created, a space for available advertising is designated either manually
or automatically by pattern recognition techniques. A list of available
advertising space is generated. During viewing of television broadcasts,
advertisements are placed in the video signal. Labels are displayed by
superimposing an HTML page that is blank except for the advertisement
onto the video signal. Advertisements can be superimposed
post-production, and can be personalized and localized. The
advertisements can be customized on a per-household basis.
