Abstract

A system for providing an interactive broadcasting platform with a host-triggered timing mechanism for video-centric presentation in a broadcast environment. The system comprises a host broadcaster and a receiver operatively in communication with data network. The host comprises a source of multimedia data; a host controlled trigger; and a source of additional content, at least a portion of which is not delivered in real-time. The receiver comprises multimedia file viewer; and a trigger receiver. Additional content data are created and provided to the receiver such as over the data network and stored at the receiver before a triggering event is provided. Multimedia data are then provided in real-time, such as over a data network. At a desired time, a triggering event may be provided at a host in real-time and the receiver will be allowed to present a predetermined portion of the additional content data in response to receipt of the triggering event. If is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope of meaning of the claims.

Description

564639 V. Description of the invention (1) Background of the invention: α t invention refers to the provision of additional content for the reception of multimedia presentations before an instant event, so a part of the additional content can be broadcasted upon receipt of the start event. Watch to enhance multimedia performance. Related applications: The invention claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 60 / 295,838, filed June 6, 2001. The prior art broadcasts generally have the flexibility to choose to show the wide-time multimedia of this type of causeless sports. To guide, it is necessary to make regular, real-time multimedia programs and / or cable head-end systems (not interactive). It is usually in the form of viewing and user-friendly. Most of these systems are in the form of viewing and peace. These systems must be used in an environment where real-time event-related conclusions occur, or to teach this. They need to enable real-time multicasters, newscasters, and physical events. Interaction, such as when more than one viewer went or did n’t know when the viewers were required to provide instant response, "CATV needs to be installed with a broadcast package. For media resources or lecturers in the environment that often belongs to materials, A broadcast showing feedback such as television, ") provides some viewers with the central information provided by the viewer, and it is even more expected to host or guide the final lecturer to explain the paradigm, this paradigm In order to facilitate the use of these systems, such systems, such as a slight list of mutual options, are rarely seen. Competition billion sources, such as during a user might want to but can not and that is positive 'In addition, the interactive dialogue

564639 V. The objectives of the invention description (2). Summary of the invention: The present invention includes an interactive broadcast platform A in the broadcast environment where the camera starts the timing mechanism. In the description of the embodiment having a master in the presentation, the present invention is not a system; although it is used for the following plus content access However, the real-time broadcast is limited to the host-oriented attachment. / 、 The content system for patent application may include the source and receiver of the broadcast host that is operated and the information, the host and other starters, and at least a part of which includes the host control I 1 -Xi Media File Viewer and-The Enabler receives additional content data 'for example' through the Data Receiver 2 and stored at the receiving location before providing the launch event = In other words, other lecturers can prepare before starting the lecture : 歹 and give it to more than one of the recipients listed as the target, two; see the example, then you can, for example, provide multiple via the data network in real time: ^. The predetermined part of the material as a response to the expensive review committee To further understand and understand the purpose, shape, features and effects of the present invention, Qiqi = with the illustrations, the detailed description is as follows: Niu Guan provides examples and can provide instant activation from the host at the desired time. The stupid body-the beaker can watch or otherwise access the predetermined part of the received material as 0 seat when receiving the activation event.

The receiver 3 0 also includes multimedia media 34 ′ For example, the receiver = = and the starter receiver are personal computers, and you can use the software to execute them. The receiver 30 may be a hand video converter box such as a receiver, and a personal digital television set such as a hologram flat, or the like, or a combination thereof. This article refers to the actuated television. 3, 8th, electronic wisdom for receiving and responding to the start event road operation ^ ^ t In other alternative embodiments of the idea, there is a network to provide additional content and start event distribution services in each of these . Phase 100 and phase δ are also listed. The network operation center 40 can be operated to connect to the data network and is logically located between the host 20 and the receiver 30. For the operation of broadcasting [# K ^ example, please refer to the flow chart of one example / consumption shown in the second figure, in which a host can start a timing mechanism in the video center of the broadcast environment and the library city to use the system 1 0 to provide interaction: Second, please refer to the first picture. The system 10 can be used to provide a combination of the same-day and two-state broadcasts, as well as the display of the material transmitted to the receiver 30 in advance and related to the live broadcast. In the preparation stage, please refer to the first and second figures shown in the figure. At step 2000, additional content data related to an instant event can be generated. Then, at step = ^ 'Before providing a start event, add this The content data is provided to the receiver 30 and stored in the receiver 30 at step 22, for example, through the data network. Then 'in step 230, 240, the multimedia data 21 is provided to the receiver 3 0 in real time, and these multimedia data 2 丨 can be provided through the data network 100' as referred to herein as the "multimedia data provided to the receiver 3 0 in real time" twenty one",

564639 V. Description of the invention (5) Including real-time TV broadcasting and digital data transmission, such as television broadcasting (0ff the air); and real-time digital data transmission through data network 100, etc., or a combination thereof . System 10 is host-centric, which means that at a predetermined time, according to human control, a start event will be provided immediately from host 20 at step 2 50 to respond to an event that occurs immediately, such as a broadcast event, In a preferred embodiment, before the launch event, k will generate additional content data and send it to the receiver 30, and start many equivalent methods that are known to those who are slightly familiar with software skills. Either use a computer to send a startup data message under human control, for example. The receiver 30 receives the start event at step 2 60, for example, a command message for playing a multimedia file, and upon receiving the start event, broadcasts a predetermined portion of the additional content data as a response, etc. After two scheduled broadcasts, the receiver 30 can respond to accept a user, such as a viewer's input at the receiver 30, and send it back to the host 20. In addition, the 'receiver 30 can also send a message such as Data such as statistics or parameter data is returned to the host 20, and these data can be used to provide the host computer 20 with programmed parameters to enable the host 20 to change real-time data, additional content, or the supply of a part of the two . • Therefore, the system 10 provides interaction between the host 20 and the receiver 30. Therefore, the host 20 can direct or steer the interaction between the host 20 and the receiver. For example, broadcasting a sports game Previously, the broadcaster Pei Zhi may have provided additional content related to the list of players in a certain team, and then provided the start-up event if an event involving a certain player happened immediately.
