Patent ID: 8631448

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for scheduling opportunities associated with interactive media and events, comprising: receiving, in a broadcast receiver device, at least a specific instance of a broadcast segment, an associated interactive media transmission, and a unique identifier specific to a scheduling opportunity corollary to the interactive media transmission; determining an association of the specific instance of the broadcast segment with the interactive media transmission, a second unique identifier that enables unique identification of the specific instance of the broadcast segment, and at least one option associated with the scheduling opportunity; presenting, using the broadcast receiver device, the interactive media transmission and the at least one option associated with the interactive media transmission; receiving, through an input module connected to the broadcast receiver device, a selection of at least one option associated with the scheduling opportunity; transmitting, through a network connection using the broadcast receiver device, the unique identifier specific to the scheduling opportunity and at least the second unique identifier that enables unique identification of the specific instance of the broadcast segment to a schedule delivery system server; receiving from the schedule delivery system server, through the network connection using the broadcast receiver device, scheduling response data specific to the interactive media transmission, the scheduling response data determined using predetermined scheduling preference data; and generating a reminder in at least the broadcast receiver device determined by the association of the scheduling response data, the predetermined scheduling preference data and at least the second unique identifier that enables unique identification of the specific instance of the broadcast segment, wherein the reminder causes the broadcast receiver device to produce an alert.
