SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR RENDERING DIGITAL CONTENT STREAMS OF EVENTS, AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF EVENT INFORMATION WITH RENDERED STREAMS, VIA MULTIPLE INTERNET CHANNELS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022796 titled 'SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR RENDERING DIGITAL CONTENT STREAMS OF EVENTS, AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF EVENT INFORMATION WITH RENDERED STREAMS, VIA MULTIPLE INTERNET CHANNELS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for transmitting instructions to client devices to render a video related to an event, along with event information. The client devices receive the event information from a socket server, ensuring synchronization and reducing latency. The event information is regularly updated to further reduce latency. User-interactive features can be overlaid on or adjacent to the video, allowing users to obtain additional information or redirect to a web site or app.

  • Instructions are transmitted to client devices to render a video related to an event, along with event information.
  • Client devices receive the event information from a socket server, ensuring synchronization and reducing latency.
  • Event information is regularly updated at the event socket to further reduce latency.
  • User-interactive features can be overlaid on or adjacent to the video.
  • Users can obtain additional information or redirect to a web site or app when selecting a user-interactive feature.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Live sporting event broadcasts with synchronized event information and reduced latency.
  • Online gaming platforms with real-time event information and interactive features.
  • Streaming services with enhanced user engagement through overlaid interactive features.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Latency between the event and the rendered video is significantly reduced.
  • Latency between the video and the event information is significantly reduced.
  • Users can access additional information or external resources without interrupting the video playback.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience with synchronized event information and interactive features.
  • Reduced latency improves real-time engagement and user satisfaction.
  • Increased user engagement through access to additional information and external resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

instructions are transmitted to first and second client devices to facilitate rendering of a video relating to an event (e.g., a broadcast of a live sporting event) together with event information (e.g., score information, online gaming information, team/player statistics). the first and second client devices are both instructed to receive the event information from an event socket of a socket server so that both client devices are synchronized and client-by-client latency is significantly reduced or mitigated. in one example, viewer latency between the event and the rendered video is on the order of two seconds or less. event information is regularly updated at the event socket to also significantly reduce latency between the video and the event information. event information may be rendered as one or more user-interactive features overlaid on or adjacent to the video. when a user selects a user-interactive feature, a client device may obtain additional information relating to the event or redirect to a web site or an app.
