Abstract
This disclosure describes content distribution circuitry that supports content distribution between one or more users. The disclosure describes a system including circuitry for receiving a request for at least a specific instance of content from a user; circuitry for receiving a request to notify at least one remote user that said specific instance of said content has been selected by said user; and circuitry for transmitting said specific instance of said content to said user and said at least one remote user.
Claims13
A system for providing content comprising:
- circuitry on a server for receiving a request for at least a specific instance of content from a user;
- circuitry on the server for receiving a request to notify at least one remote user that said specific instance of said content has been selected by said user;
- circuitry on the server for transmitting a request to vote for a desired time for said specific instance of said content;
- circuitry on the server for transmitting to said user information indicating the status of said at least one remote user;
- circuitry on the server for transmitting a notification to said at least one remote user that said user has selected said specific instance of said content;
- circuitry on the server for receiving an indication that said at least one remote user selected said specific instance of said content;
- circuitry on the server for transmitting said indication that said at least one remote user selected said specific instance of said content to said user;
- circuitry on the server for transmitting said specific instance of said content to said user and said at least one remote user;
- and
- circuitry on the server for enabling interaction between said user and said at least one remote user.
