Network system and method for accessing content and featuring advertising based on user criteria

3) In a system being capable of allowing access to desired content over a network, said system comprising:

• a server-computer;
• a source device being capable of providing a first desired content to said server-computer;
• a playing device being capable of receiving said first desired content from said server-computer and being capable of playing said first desired content;
• a director server-computer being capable of allowing said server-computer to provide said first desired content to said playing device;
• and an advertising server-computer being capable of receiving feedback information:
• from said server-computer:
• from said director server-computer:
• and from said playing device;
• and said advertising server-computer being capable of providing advertising information to said server-computer in response to said feedback information.

4) In a system being capable of allowing access to desired content over a network, said system comprising:

• a first server-playing device;
• a source device being capable of providing a first desired content to said first server-playing device;
• a second server-playing device being capable of receiving said first desired content from said first server-laying device and being capable of playing said first desired content;
• a director server-computer being capable of allowing said first server-playing device to provide said first desired content to said second server-playing device;
• and an advertising server-computer being capable of receiving feedback information from said first server-playing device, from said director server-computer, and from said second server-playing device;
• and said advertising server-computer being capable of providing advertising information to said second server-playing device in response to said feedback information.

6) In a system being capable of allowing access to desired content over a network, said system comprising:

• a first server-playing device;
• a source device being capable of providing a first desired content to said first server-playing device;
• a second server-playing device being capable of receiving said first desired content from said first server-playing device and being capable of playing said first desired content;
• a director server-computer being capable of allowing said first server-playing device to provide said first desired content to said second server-playing device;
• and an advertising server-computer being capable of receiving feedback information from said first server-playing device, from said director server-computer, and from said second server-playing device;
• said advertising server-computer being capable of providing advertising information to said first server-playing device in response to said feedback information.

101) A media broadcasting system comprising:

• a Media Broadcasting Device having first embedded software;
• said Media Broadcasting Device being capable of receiving a signal from an audio/video source device;
• said first embedded software being capable of causing said Media Broadcasting Device to construct a first media stream from such signal;
• and said Media Broadcasting Device being capable of transmitting said first media stream over a network;
• and a Media Playing Device having second embedded software;
• said Media Playing Device being capable of communicating with said Media Broadcasting Device over the network;
• and said second embedded software being capable of causing said Media Playing Device to receive and play said first media stream.

191) A method for allowing access to desired content over a network, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a first desired content from a first source device to a first server-playing device;
• encoding said first desired content with said first server-playing device;
• allowing said encoded first desired content to be transmitted under the control of a director server-computer to a second server-playing device;
• receiving and decoding said encoded first desired content with said second server-playing device;
• playing said decoded first desired content with said second server-playing device;
• receiving feedback information with an advertising server-computer from said first server-playing device, said director server-computer, and said second server-playing device;
• and sending selected advertising information to said second server-playing device in response to said feedback information.

192) A method for allowing access to desired content over a network, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a first desired content from a first source device to a first server-playing device;
• encoding said first desired content with said first server-playing device;
• allowing said encoded first desired content to be transmitted under the control of a director server-computer to a second server-playing device;
• receiving and decoding said encoded first desired content with said second server-playing device;
• playing said decoded first desired content with said second server-playing device;
• receiving feedback information with an advertising server-computer from said first server-playing device, said director server-computer, and said second server-playing device;
• and sending selected advertising information to said first server-playing device in response to said feedback information.

193) A method for allowing access to desired contents over a network, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a first desired content from a first source device to a first server-playing device;
• encoding said first desired content with said first server-playing device;
• allowing said encoded first desired content to be transmitted under the control of a director server-computer to a second server-playing device;
• receiving and decoding said encoded first desired content with said second server-playing device;
• playing said decoded first desired content with said second server-playing device;
• providing a second desired content from a second source device to said second server-playing device;
• encoding said second desired content with said second server-playing device;
• allowing said encoded second desired content to be transmitted under the control of said director server-computer to said first server-playing device;
• receiving and decoding said encoded second desired content with said first server-playing device;
• playing said decoded second desired content with said first server-playing device;
• receiving feedback information with an advertising server-computer from said first server-playing device, said director server-computer, and said second server-playing device;
• and sending selected advertising information to said first server-playing device, or said second server-playing device, or both said first server-playing device and said second server-playing device in response to said feedback information.
