A METHOD OF PROVIDING AN ONLINE NETWORK WHICH USES
USER-CONTRIBUTION. IN. MAKIN-G ''A STAR';
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for assisting World Wide Web
users in registering at a selectrve World Wide Website and becomfng A
Star using that particular website. In particular, the present invention
provides online registration in an appropriate category for a user so that,
upon registration at a "Be a Star" web site,. the user may perform the
registered activity. Further, after performing stepwise activity as available
on the website and after qualifying and winning the available stepwise
activities, the winner will become "A Star'' and receives a defined award.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
The World Wide Web f.YVWW) is a global communications network having
a user and server model for communications. That is users which uses
"web browsers" and navigate the WWW to access desired server nodes
(known as web sites) for at least obtaining information and registration at
the website.
Every industry including entertainment, media, .sport, politics, cooking, art,
sports etc. is constantly struggling to locate the next big talent. Often,
happenstance has more to do with an artist reaching fame than does any
organized industry effort. Although person who achieves fame in a
particular field uses to capitalize the coming up talent and are always
looking for new coming up talent. The person who already had achieved a
fame and the person who wants to achieve a fame needs a common
platform for recognition of new coming up talent. Additionally, the new
coming up talent also wants to gain name as well as economical benefit
after getting fame or after becoming A Star .

•,
One way that the industry has traditionally attempted to locate new talent
is through talent shows as present on the televfsion. ihe talent shows are
used to be judged by the experts, the experts selects the talented person
and then the selected talented person use to perform in presence of
experts, thereafter the program is telecasted on the television. The
audience can see the talent program on the scheduled time on the
television and can vote for his/her favourite contestant. Further, on the
basis of numbers provided by the experts and the number of votes, the
winner is selected after a number of series of contest. The talent shows
are shouted at a pre scheduled time at a pre-scheduled place with a fix
amount of public. After shouting the talent show, the talent show is
broadcasted at the television at a fix time. The audience who wants to
watch the talent show will have to wait for the broadcast of the show.
Further, the audience votes by text message for contestants so that the
contestants are gradually weeded out over a series of shows. Although the
pubiTc has input into the selection of the winning artist but has no input in
the selection of the talented contestants. In addition, the live performances
at scheduled broadcast times effectively restrict audience input to that
portion of the public who are free to watch the program.
Typically, the talent shows are present in the field of entertainment and are
restricted to the television. A number of business units have developed
Web sites located on the internet to provide advertising and marketing
services to business units and are willing to provides products and
services to the customers. However, it is difficult to attract audience on the
website and participate them in the selection procedure of the talented
person in a particular field. This process. of attraction of audience at a
website and selection of a talented person is difficult.
Usually, the information related to Actor, Singer, Dancer, Cooking, Social
Activfty, Presenter/Journalist, Radio Jockey, etc. are avaiiabie on the
I p 0 en: L~!f.sit¥drt· f@li!tieuJBO re~strations .fo~ such type of users are available at

·::'
different websites. Further, such registration of all types of users at the
peculiar website is also important in the field of global communication
network. Some information may be useful in determining the
degree of interest in services and products by web site users. This
information is used by the website during the registration of the users and
degree of interest will be measured by the provided information.
Additionally these websites are user based and are used to a particular
type of user. On none of the websites all types of artists can registered
and take economical benefit from the available websites.
Online retail sites and social networking sites have gained popularity. Yet
despite the popularity of these sites, . their existences have largely
remained distinct as a result, and the number of these sites seems to have
increased. It remains difficult for various websites to provide economical
benefit to the registered users who are not celebrity or a star. For example,
this applies to a celebrity, star, .retailers and others seeking to capture an
online audience. For example, for celebrities, conventional
methods of interacting with fans are available. Such websites use to
provide the economical benefit to the celebrities and not the normal users
of website. Some official sites of celebrities and stars are also available
which use to aspire the celebrities and stars. For a normal artist, it remains
difficult to be seen and heard by the public. In part due to the large
number of sites on the internet, it remains difficult for talented artist/s to
build a fan-base through online activity. Another problem is the cost
associated with creating and/or maintaining an individual website. Further,
·another problem associated with these sites that the talented artist cannot
become A Star through available online sites. One of the main
disadvantages of the available sites is that the talented artists do not get
work and economical benefit from these sites.

I
I
Therefore, it would be advantageous to alleviate many of the above
difficulties by providing registration to the talented artists and providing the
economical benefit to the selected artists. Further, it would be
advantageous to participate the audience through the website in selection
of the talented artist.

platform for recognition of new coming up talent. Additionally, the new
coming up talent also wants to gain name as well as economical benefit
after getting fame or. after becoming A Star.

basis of numbers provided by the experts and the number of votes, the
winner is selected after a number of series of contest. The talent shows
are shouted at a pre scheduled time at a pre-scheduled place with a fix
amount of public. After shouting the talent show, the talent show ·is
broadcasted at the television at a fix time. The audience who wants to
watch the talent show will have to wait for the broadcast of the show.
Further, the audience votes by text message for contestants so that the
contestants are gradually weeded out over a series of shows. Although the
public has input into the selection of the winning artist but has no input in
the selection of the talented contestants. In addition, the live performances
at scheduled broadcast times effectively restrict audience input to that
portion of the public who are free to watch the program.
Typically, the talent shows are present in the field of entertainment and are
restricted to the televi~ion. A number of business units have developed
Web sites located on the internet to provide advertising and marketing
services to business units and are willing to provides products and
services to the customers. However, it is difficult to attract audience on the
website and participate them in the selection procedure of the talented
person in a particular field. This process of attraction of audience at a
website and selection of a talented person is difficult.
Usually, the information related to Actor, Singer, Dancer, Cooking, Social
Activity, Presenter/Journalist, Radio Jockey, etc. are available on the
w~~site_s._ln P!3'!ic_uLw~ rf;~str~i~n~ ~2such type of users are available at

different websites. Further, such registration of all types of users at the
peculiar website is also important in the field of global communication
network. Some information may be useful in determining the
degree of interest in services and products by web site users. This
information is .used by the website during the registration of the users and
degree of interest will be measured by the provided information.
Additionally these websites are user based and are used to a particular
type of user. On none of the websites all types of artists can registered
and take economical benefit from the available websites.
Online retail sites and social networking sites have gained popularity. Yet
despite the popularity of these sites, their existences have largely
remained distinct as a result, and the number of these sites se_ems to have
increased. It remains difficult for _various websites to provide economical
benefit to the registered users who are not celebrity or a star. For example,
this applies to a celebrity, star, retailers and others seeking to capture· an
online audience. For example, for celebrities, conventional
methods of interacting with fans are available. Such websites use to
provide the economical benefit to the celebrities and not the normal users
of website. Some official sites of celebrities and stars are also available
which use to aspire the celebrities and stars. For a normal artist, it remains
difficult to be seen and heard by the public. In part due to the large
number of sites on the internet, it remains difficult for talented artistls to
build a fan-base through online activity. Another problem is the cost
associated with creating and/or maintaining an individual website. Further,
another problem associated with these sites that the talented artist cannot
become A Star through available online sites. One of the main
disadvantages of the available sites is that the talented artists do not get
work and economical benefit from these sites.

Therefore, it would be advantageous to alleviate many of the above
difficulties by providing registration to the talented artists and providing the
economical benefit to the selected artists. Further, it would be
advantageous to participate the audience through the website in selection
of the talented artist.
