Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A method, comprising:
A) receiving, by at least one media source, an audio/video feed of a live event;
B) providing a first copy of the audio/video feed of the live event from a first media server endpoint of the at least one media source;
C) transmitting first instructions to a first client device that includes at least one first display to enable the at least one first display of the first client device to render a first video relating to the live event and render first event information relating to the live event, wherein the first instructions transmitted in C) cause the first client device to:
connect to the first media server endpoint of the at least one media source to receive, on a first communication channel between the first media server endpoint and the first client device, the first copy of the audio/video feed of the live event;
connect to a first socket of a socket server to receive, on a second communication channel between the first socket and the first client device, first digital content corresponding to the first event information;
render, on the at least one first display of the first client device, at least some of the first event information as at least one first user-interactive feature overlaid on or adjacent to the first video relating to the live event; and
obtain access to first additional information relating to the live event and/or redirect to a first web site or first app when a first user selects at least a portion of the rendered at least one first user-interactive feature; and

D) transmitting second instructions to a second client device that includes at least one second display to enable the at least one second display of the second client device to render the first event information relating to the live event, wherein the second instructions transmitted in D) cause the second client device to:
connect to the first socket of the socket server to receive, on a third communication channel between the first socket and the second client device, the first digital content corresponding to the first event information so that the first digital content received at the first client device and the second client device is synchronized and client-by-client latency between the first client device and second client device to render the first event information is thereby mitigated or significantly reduced;
render, on the at least one second display of the second client device, at least some of the first event information as at least one second user-interactive feature; and
obtain access to the first additional information or second additional information relating to the live event and/or redirect to the first web site, the first app, a second web site or a second app related to the live event when a second user selects at least a portion of the rendered at least one second user-interactive feature.
