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 (10) comprises a host broadcaster (20) and a receiver (30) operatively in communication with data network (100). The host comprises a source (22) of multimedia data (21); a host controlled trigger (24); and a source (26) of additional content, at least a portion of which is not delivered in real-time. The receiver (30) comprises multimedia file viewer (32); and a trigger receiver (34). Additional content data are created and provided to the receiver (30) such as over the data network (100) and stored at the receiver (30) before a triggering event is provided. Multimedia data (21) are then provided in real-time, such as over a data network (100). At a desired time, a triggering event may be provided at a host (20) in real-time and the receiver (30) 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.
