Abstract
According to some example embodiments of the present invention, in a system for managing interactive media, the system includes: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: monitor a broadcast of a live media content production; receive, from a plurality of user devices, preference data indicating preferences for modifying content of the live media content production; aggregate the preference data; and transmit the preference data to a media production device for modifying the live media content product in real time during the broadcast.

A system for managing interactive media, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- monitor a broadcast of a live media content production;
- receive a first signal, from a media production device operated by a content producer of the live media content production, to initiate a first stage of the live media content production;
- based on the first signal from the media production device, transmit, in real time during production of the live media content production, a signal to a plurality of user devices indicating a request to provide, within a first predetermined period of time, a selection from among a first finite set of a plurality of functions corresponding to the first stage of the live media content production;
- after transmitting the signal to the plurality of user devices, receive, from one or more of the plurality of user devices, first preference data indicating corresponding selections from among the first finite set of functions for modifying content of the live media content production;
- aggregate the first preference data;
- transmit a signal to the media production device, the signal comprising instructions for changing the live media content production in real time during the broadcast based on the aggregated first preference data;
- after a function, from among the first finite set of the plurality of functions and corresponding to the aggregated first preference data, is implemented as part of the first stage of the live media content production, receive a second signal from the media production device operated by the content producer of the live media content production, to initiate a second stage of the live media content production;
- and
- based on the second signal from the media production device, transmit, in real time during production of the live media content production, a signal to the plurality of devices indicating a request to provide, within a second predetermined period of time, a selection from among a second finite set of a plurality of functions corresponding to the second stage of the live media content production, wherein the second finite set of the plurality of functions is different from the first finite set of the plurality of functions.

- based on the first signal from the media production device, transmitting, in real time during production of the live media content production, by the processor, a signal to a plurality of user devices indicating a request to provide, within a first predetermined period of time, a selection from among a first finite set of a plurality of functions corresponding to the first stage of the live media content production;
- after transmitting the signal to the plurality of user devices, receiving, by the processor, from one or more of the plurality of user devices, first preference data indicating corresponding selections from among the first finite set of functions for modifying content of the live media content production;
- aggregating, by the processor, the first preference data;
- transmitting, by the processor, a signal to the media production device, the signal comprising instructions for changing the live media content production in real time during the broadcast based on the aggregated first preference data;
- after a function, from among the first finite set of the plurality of functions and corresponding to the aggregated first preference data, is implemented as part of the first stage of the live media content production, receiving, by the processor, a second signal from the media production device operated by the content producer of the live media content production, to initiate a second stage of the live media content production;
- and
- based on the second signal from the media production device, transmitting, by the processor, in real time during production of the live media content production, a signal to the plurality of devices indicating a request to provide, within a second predetermined period of time, a selection from among a second finite set of a plurality of functions corresponding to the second stage of the live media content production, wherein the second finite set of the plurality of functions is different from the first finite set of the plurality of functions.
