Abstract
Performance analysis for combining remote audience responses is described. In one example, a performance is presented to a plurality of viewer devices through a remote network connection. An audience response received from each of the plurality of viewer devices through the remote network connection during the presentation of the performance. The received audience responses are combined into a single media stream and the combined media stream is sent to each of the plurality of viewer devices during the performance.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- presenting a performance to a plurality of viewer devices through a remote network connection;
- receiving an audience response from each of the plurality of viewer devices through the remote network connection during the presentation of the performance;
- combining audience responses from fast connections into a single stream;
- abstracting audience responses from slow connections into generalized responses;
- combining the combined fast connection high and abstracted slow connection audience responses to a single media stream;
- and
- sending the combined media stream to each of the plurality of viewer devices during the performance.
4 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving a presentation of a performance at a viewer device from a remote server through a network connection;
- presenting the presentation of the performance to a user of the viewer device;
- observing a user response at the viewer device during the presentation of the performance;
- sending a representation of the observed user response to the remote server during the performance;
- receiving a media stream of combined audience responses sent by other viewer devices to the remote server during the performance, the media stream being a combination of audience responses from users of viewer devices with a fast connection and a generalized response abstracted from audience responses of viewer devices with a slow connection;
- and
- presenting the media stream in combination with the presentation of the performance to the user of the viewer device.
4 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a network output interface to transmit a performance to a plurality of viewer devices through a remote network connection;
- a network input interface to receive an audience response from each of the plurality of viewer devices through the remote network connection during the presentation of the performance;
- and
- a combining module to combine audience responses received from a fast connection into a single stream, to abstract audience responses received from a slow connection into generalized responses, to combine the combined fast connection and abstracted slow connection audience responses to a single media stream, wherein the network output interface sends the combined media stream to each of the plurality of viewer devices during the performance. 20. (Original) The apparatus of claim 19, further comprising a synchronization module to associate the combined media stream to timing of the performance.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a network input interface to receive a presentation of a performance at a viewer device from a remote server through a network connection;
- a display to present the presentation of the performance to a user of the viewer device;
- a camera to observe a user response at the viewer device during the presentation of the performance;
- and
- a network output interface to send a representation of the observed user response to the remote server during the performance,
- the network input interface to further receive a media stream of combined audience responses sent by other viewer devices to the remote server during the performance, the media stream being a combination of audience responses from users of viewer devices with fast connections and a generalized response abstracted from audience responses of viewer devices with slow connections, the display to present the media stream in combination with the presentation of the performance to the user of the viewer device.
