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 32):
A game server comprising:\n a. a memory for storing an application for conducting one or more real-time games of skill or chance or other entertainment in connection with a televised sports event, the application configured for:\n i. communicating with a plurality of devices grouped into a plurality of cohorts, wherein each cohort constitutes participants in one of the real-time games of skill or chance or other entertainment; and \n ii. storing one or more files related to the one or more real-time games of skill or chance or other entertainment; \n iii. simultaneously transmitting the one or more files to each of the devices within a cohort, wherein the devices within the cohort receive a broadcast of the televised sports event with a plurality of latencies; \n iv. sending one or more lockout signals at one or more appropriate times based on a measured amount of delay to prevent users from submitting one or more responses to the one or more real time games of skill or chance or other entertainment; and \n b. a processor for processing the application.
