Abstract:
A method of and system for handling latency issues encountered in producing real-time entertainment such as games of skill synchronized with live or taped televised events is described herein. There are multiple situations that are dealt with regarding latencies in receiving a television signal with respect to real-time entertainment based on the unfolding games played along with the telecasts. Systemic delays, arbitrarily imposed delays of a broadcast signal and variances in the precise broadcast times of taped television programs have to be equalized so as to provide fair entertainment.

Claim (Index 130):
A game server comprising:\n a. a memory for storing an application, the application configured for:\n i. communicating with a plurality of devices grouped into sets of cohorts; \n ii. sending a lockout signal at an appropriate time based on an amount of delay to prevent users in each of the separate cohorts from submitting a response after an outcome of future events in separate games of skill or chance or other entertainment are known to members of the cohorts; \n iii. equalizing the sets of cohorts comprising time stamping the amount of delay on the lock out signal; \n iv. imposing the amount of delay on an entire game data stream; and \n v. sending game control data to each cohort of the set of cohorts at the same time relative to receipt of a broadcast, where client software delays presentation of game data based on a precise time of reception of the broadcast; and \n b. a processor for processing the application.
