Claims:We Claim:
1. A computerized method for providing customized entertainment content comprising:
a. providing a first digitally encoded program for transmission to a set of subscribers;
b. causing a pause in transmission of the first digitally encoded program to permit transmission of at least a second digitally encoded program to at least a first subscriber from the set of subscribers;
c. selecting the second digitally encoded program from a set of digitally encoded programs in response to data indicative of a preference in programming by said first subscriber; and
d. providing, during the pause in transmission of the first digitally encoded program, the second digitally encoded program for transmission to the first subscriber.
2. The computerized method of claim 1 wherein the first time period is predetermined.
3. The computerized method of claim 2 wherein the first time period is determined as a function of events in the first digitally encoded program.
4. The computerized method of claim 2 wherein the first time period is determined as a function of events in the second digitally encoded program. , Description:Technical Field of the Invention
This invention relates to computerized methods and systems for providing customized entertainment content to viewers.
Background of the Invention
Entertainment content is increasingly available in digital form for transmission to a variety of devices such as televisions, computers and handheld devices. Such entertainment content can be transmitted via a variety of systems to permit not only traditional broadcasting of the same content to a wide audience but also targeted transmission via streaming and downloads. Storage of entertainment content in digital video recorders (DVRs) provides additional flexibility.
Sporting events, as a form of entertainment content, are now available in a variety of formats including live broadcast and on-demand streaming and download. Moreover, highlights are shown in a variety of programs and are also available online for on-demand viewing. Supplementing the video content is an increasingly rich set of data regarding sporting events and players.
While there are a number of options by which entertainment content can be delivered and viewed, there remains a need for methods and systems that provide customized entertainment content and in particular that provide customized content with respect to sporting events.
Object of the Invention
The present object of the invention is system and method for providing provide improved customization of video content to improve a User's viewing experience and thereby provide increased revenue opportunities for owner’s providers.
Summary of the Invention
In certain embodiments, video content that is provided to a User is paused or substituted to permit customized content to be delivered to the User. For example, a User watching a live transmission of a football game (or other sports game) is provided, during a commercial break or other game play hiatus, with replays featuring players of interest to the User. In some embodiments, game play may be replaced or temporarily paused to allow replay of a play (or portion thereof) in another game transpiring contemporaneously that includes an interesting event for a player of interest.
Such players may be for example, players selected by the User for their Fantasy Football Team (or other Fantasy Sports Team) or for the players of another team they are competing against, such as in head-to-head leagues. Some Users may be in a plurality of leagues for a given sport and may select at any given time the one or more leagues they are in which is of current interest to them for that sport. Each league may be assigned a distinctive look-and-feel, either as assigned by the User and/or defaulted by their league's Sync Group. The distinctive look-and-feel allows the User to easily recognize which of their leagues is being presented to them at a given time. The distinctive look-and-feel may include a league name and/or logo that is shown as a digital on-screen graphic, as well as a distinctive color-scheme, font or layout for statistical and other Fantasy Football information pertaining to plays (or portion(s) thereof) being viewed. In audio content, the distinctive look-and-feel may correspond to a unique voice, accent, pace, cadence and/or tonal quality being assigned to a league. Selected replays may be composed together to create a narrative analogous to a regular football game. For example, in one replay clip, a user's quarterback may make a successful pass, and in a subsequent clip, one of the user's players (possibly playing in a different game) may make a successful reception, or alternatively, a player on a Fantasy Football team they are competing with might make an interception. These plays (or portion(s) thereof) may be choreographed together to compose a fictional narrative that is composed of the selected replays for a user and optionally the one or more users they are facing in, for example, a week's competition. The narrative may reveal a running score, analogous to a running score during a game. The order of replays being revealed may be set so as to increase the number of times one team pulls ahead of another. Plays (or portion(s) thereof) can be weaved together so as to make logical connections, such as replaying a quarter back initiating a pass in one replay and then cutting to an opposing player making an interception in another play or alternatively, cutting to another player of user making a successful reception.
