[0004] However, the existing technique of reservation system and method has been filed. For example, United State Patent 20130144716A1 discloses placing advertisement, informational or promotional material into a live stream event streamed to a client device, including: establishing a private relationship between a server and the client device; receiving statistical studies performed of a pattern of behavior of members of the private relationship with respect to contents and services streamed live; preparing and storing the advertisement, informational or promotional material based on the statistical studies; selecting the stored advertisement, informational or promotional material for the client device; and placing the selected advertisement, informational or promotional material into a temporally and spatially appropriate position of the live stream event. Keywords include live media stream and BIVL.
[0005] However, all existing solutions merely provide an interface that enable making of the reservation or searching for different kinds/categories of events for shortlisting an event of interest easier. None of the existing solutions actually give users real-time experience of the event in that time instance so as to help enable the users to make a more informed and efficient decision based on their preference parameters. Further, none of the existing solutions actually provide real-time data associated with one or more real-time activities of one or more users present at one or more ongoing events at a plurality of locations.
[0006] There is therefore a need in the art for a system and a method that enables a user to obtain real-time experience of an ongoing event or multiple events and make a reservation or take any other desired action based on assessment of the obtained real-time experience. Further, there is also a need in the art for a system and a method that provides real-time data associated with one or more real-time activities of one or more users present at one or more ongoing events at a plurality of locations make a reservation or take any other desired action based on assessment of the obtained real-time activities.

[00111] FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary computer system in which or using which aspects of the present disclosure can be implemented. Computer system 500 includes a bus 520 or other communication mechanism for communicating information, and a processor 570 coupled with bus 520 for processing information. Computer system 500 can also include a main memory 530 or other non-transitory computer-readable medium, such as a random-access memory (RAM) or other dynamic storage device, which can then be coupled to bus 520 for storing information and instructions to be executed by processor 570. Main memory 530 also may be used for storing temporary variables or other intermediate information during execution of instructions to be executed by processor 570. Computer system 500 may further include a read only memory (ROM) 540 or other static storage device coupled to bus 520 for storing static information and instructions for processor 570. A data/external storage device 510, such as a magnetic disk or optical disk, is provided and coupled to bus 520 for storing information and instructions.
[00112] Computer system 500 may be coupled via bus 520 to a display (not shown), such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), for displaying information to a user. An input device (not shown), including alphanumeric and other keys, can be coupled to bus 520 for communicating information and command selections to processor 570. Another type of user input device can be cursor control, such as a mouse, a trackball, or cursor direction keys for communicating direction information and command selections to processor 570 and for controlling cursor movement on display. This input device typically has two degrees of freedom in two axes, a first axis (e.g., x) and a second axis (e.g., y), that allows the device to specify positions in a plane.
[00113] The invention is related to the use of computer system 500 for creation and management of BOMs as elaborated above. According to some embodiments of the invention, such use may be provided by computer system 500 in response to processor 570 executing one or more sequences of one or more instructions contained in the main memory 730. Such instructions may be read into main memory 530 from another computer-readable medium, such as storage device 550. Execution of the sequences of instructions contained in main memory 530 causes processor 570 to perform the process steps described herein. One or more processors in a multi-processing arrangement may also be employed to execute the sequences of instructions contained in main memory 530. In alternative embodiments, hard-wired circuitry may be used in place of or in combination with software instructions to implement the invention. Thus, embodiments of the invention are not limited to any specific combination of hardware circuitry and software.
[00114] The term "computer-readable medium" as used herein refers to any medium that participates in providing instructions to processor 570 for execution. Such a medium may take many forms, including but not limited to, non-volatile media, volatile media, and transmission media. Non-volatile media includes, for example, optical or magnetic disks, such as storage device 550. Volatile media includes dynamic memory, such as main memory 530. Transmission media includes coaxial cables, copper wire and fiber optics, including the wires that comprise bus 520. Transmission media can also take the form of acoustic or light waves, such as those generated during radio wave and infrared data communications.
[00115] Common forms of computer-readable media include, for example, a floppy disk, a flexible disk, hard disk, magnetic tape, or any other magnetic medium, a CD-ROM, any other optical medium, punch cards, paper tape, any other physical medium with patterns of holes, a RAM, a PROM, and EPROM, a FLASH-EPROM, any other memory chip or cartridge, a carrier wave as described hereinafter, or any other medium from which a computer can read.
[00116] Various forms of computer-readable media may be involved in carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions to processor 570 for execution. For example, the instructions may initially be carried on a magnetic disk of a remote computer. The remote computer can load the instructions into its dynamic memory and send the instructions over a telephone line using a modem. A modem local to computer system 500 can receive the data on the telephone line and use an infrared transmitter to convert the data to an infrared signal. An infrared detector coupled to bus 520 can receive the data carried in the infrared signal and place the data on bus 520. Bus 520 carries the data to main memory 530, from which processor 570 retrieves and executes the instructions. The instructions received by main memory 530 may optionally be stored on storage device 550 either before or after execution by processor 570.
[00117] Computer system 500 also includes a communication interface 560 coupled to bus 520. Communication interface 560 can provide a two-way data communication coupling to a network link (not shown) that can be connected to a local network (not shown). For example, communication interface 560 may be an integrated services digital network (ISDN) card or a modem to provide a data communication connection to a corresponding type of telephone line. As another example, communication interface 560 may be a local area network (LAN) card to provide a data communication connection to a compatible LAN. Wireless links may also be implemented. In any such implementation, communication interface 560 sends and receives electrical, electromagnetic or optical signals that carry data streams representing various types of information.
[00118] Real-time— for the purposes of this specification and the associated claims, the term "real-time" is used to refer to calculations or operations performed on-the-fly as activities occur or input is received by the operable system. However, the use of the term "real-time" is not intended to preclude operations that cause some latency between input and response, so long as the latency is an unintended consequence induced by the performance characteristics of the machine.
[00119] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to" is intended to include both direct coupling; in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other, and indirect coupling; in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements. Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are also used euphemistically to mean "communicatively coupled with" over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[00120] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms "comprises" and "comprising" should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced. Where the specification claims refer to at least one of something selected from the group consisting of A, B, C ... and N, the text should be interpreted as requiring only one element from the group, not A plus N, or B plus N, etc. The foregoing description of the specific embodiments will so fully reveal the general nature of the embodiments herein that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily modify and/or adapt for various applications such specific embodiments without departing from the generic concept, and, therefore, such adaptations and modifications should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the disclosed embodiments. It is to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. Therefore, while the embodiments herein have been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments herein can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
