Abstract
Systems and methods for determining interest levels for sporting events and notifying users when the sporting events' interest levels reach threshold levels. One embodiment is a system that includes a processing engine that receives data associated with sporting events and, based on this data, determines interest levels associated with the sporting events. The system also includes a notification engine is coupled to the processing engine. When the processing engine determines that the interest level associated with a particular sporting event has reached a threshold, the notification engine provides notifications to users indicating that the threshold level has been reached.

A sporting event rating and notification system comprising:
- a rating engine, wherein the rating engine monitors one or more feeds from one or more external data sources, wherein the feeds contain game statistics describing a sporting event, wherein the rating engine determines a rating associated with the sporting event based on the received game statistics;
- and
- a notification engine coupled to the rating engine, wherein in response to the rating engine determining that the rating associated with the sporting event has changed, the notification engine provides corresponding notifications to a first set of one or more users, wherein each of the notifications provides an audible or visible indication that the rating has changed.
A sporting event rating and notification system comprising:
- a rating engine and a notification engine;
- wherein the rating engine is configured to monitor one or more feeds from one or more external data sources, wherein the feeds contain game statistics describing a sporting event, determine a rating associated with the sporting event based on the received game statistics, and determine whether the rating meets one or more threshold levels;
- wherein the notification engine is coupled to the rating engine and configured to provide notifications to one or more users in response to the rating engine determining that the rating associated with the sporting event meets the one or more threshold levels, wherein each of the notifications provides an indication that the rating has met the one or more thresholds;
- wherein the game statistics associated with the sporting event are received by the rating engine prior to completion of the sporting event and the notifications are provided to the user devices of the one or more users prior to completion of the sporting event;
- and
- wherein the notification engine is configured to provide the notifications in the form of programming instructions that are provided to a recording device, wherein the programming instructions are configured to cause the recording device to record at least a portion of the sporting event.
A method implemented in a sporting event rating and notification system, the method comprising:
- the sporting event rating and notification system monitoring one or more feeds from one or more external data sources, wherein the feeds contain game statistics describing a sporting event;
- the sporting event rating and notification system determining a rating associated with the sporting event based on the received game statistics;
- and
- the sporting event rating and notification system providing notifications to a first set of one or more users when the rating associated with the sporting event changes, wherein each of the notifications provides an audible or visible indication that the rating has changed.
