Abstract:
1. A method for configuring a communications device to receive a media broadcast comprising at least one identifiable broadcast segment as part of a broadcast stream, the method comprising: configuring the communications device to receive the broadcast stream comprising a plurality of broadcast segments, wherein the plurality of broadcast segments comprises the at least one identifiable broadcast segment; configuring the communications device to receive a data stream associated with the broadcast stream; configuring at least one computer processor of the communications device to extract from the data stream data that enables a unique identification of the at least one identifiable broadcast segment from the plurality of broadcast segments; configuring the at least one computer processor of the communications device to determine an identification of the broadcast stream; configuring an electronic memory of the communications device to store the identification of the broadcast stream and the data that enables the unique identification of the at least one identifiable broadcast segment; configuring the communications device to present the at least one identifiable broadcast segment; configuring the communications device to detect an input selection corresponding to the at least one identifiable broadcast segment; configuring the communications device to obtain an identity of a responder associated with the input selection; configuring the communications device to create a data packet enabling the unique identification of the at least one identifiable broadcast segment, the data packet comprising at least one of the following: an identification of the identity of the responder, the identification of the broadcast stream, the data that enables the unique identification of the at least one identifiable broadcast segment; and configuring the communications device to communicate the data packet to a server in response to the detection of the input selection.
