By GlobalDataA recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230137066A1) describes a method and system for managing live events in a broadcast provider system. The method involves maintaining player profiles associated with broadcast receiver devices, monitoring live events, and identifying player profiles that meet content selection policies for a specific live event. Once a live event has started, instructions are transmitted to the broadcast provider system to communicate with the corresponding broadcast receiver devices, either displaying a notification or initiating recording of the live event.
The method utilizes data obtained from a conditional event service to identify and monitor live events. The data feed for determining the start of a live event can be a broadcast of the event, and the method includes detecting a start condition within the broadcast. The system also allows for the addition of new live events to be monitored by receiving indications from the broadcast provider system and updating the list of live events accordingly.
To identify the subset of player profiles for a live event, the method calculates a content selection score for each profile and selects profiles based on these scores. The determination of whether a live event has started involves monitoring the data feed for indications or detecting specific event types within the broadcast.
The system includes one or more processors coupled to memory and in communication with the broadcast provider system. It maintains player profiles, monitors live events, identifies relevant profiles, and transmits instructions to the broadcast provider system. The system can also obtain data from a conditional event service, detect start conditions in the live event broadcast, and update the list of live events.
Similar to the method, the system calculates content selection scores for player profiles and selects the subset of profiles based on these scores. It also monitors the data feed for indications or specific event types to determine the start of a live event. The system generates instructions for the broadcast provider system and notifications for the broadcast receiver devices, including actionable objects that allow for the display of the live event broadcast.
Additionally, the system can determine the duration of the live event and include this information in the instructions transmitted to the broadcast provider system.
Overall, this patent describes a method and system for efficiently managing live events in a broadcast provider system, ensuring that relevant player profiles are notified or recordings are initiated when a live event starts.
