Abstract:
Multiple broadcasters create live streams of digital content relating to live events, and multiple viewers of each broadcaster receive copies of the live streams. Viewer latency is significantly reduced, and event information relating to live events is synchronized amongst all broadcasters and viewers of live streams relating to the same event. Scalable and flexible access to live streams is provided to different types and numbers of viewers with different qualities of service. A social media platform is provided in tandem with live streaming of digital content relating to live events, to allow a given broadcaster and their associated viewers to communicate with one another, comment on the event and/or the broadcaster's live stream, and send digital gifts. In one example, the broadcasters' digital content includes video-based commentary regarding live sporting events, and studio-quality graphics and animations (including animated synchronized scorebugs) are provided on mobile client devices in tandem with the broadcasters' video-based commentary and social networking functionality.

Claim (Index 1):
A system ( 1000 ) for providing a first plurality of copies ( 202 A,  202 B) of a first broadcaster's live stream of digital content ( 102 A) including first live sporting event video-based commentary from a first broadcaster client device ( 100 A) to a first plurality of viewer client devices ( 200 A,  200 B), and for providing a second plurality of copies ( 202 C,  202 D) of a second broadcaster's live stream of digital content ( 102 B) including second live sporting event video-based commentary from a second broadcaster client device ( 100 B) to a second plurality of viewer client devices ( 200 C,  200 D), the system comprising:\n A) a plurality of media sources ( 300 ) to:\n receive the first broadcaster's live stream of digital content ( 102 A) and the second broadcaster's live stream of digital content ( 102 B); \n provide a first copy ( 202 A) of the first plurality of copies to a first viewer client device ( 200 A) of the first plurality of viewer client devices via a first video Internet communication channel ( 204 A) between the plurality of media sources and the first viewer client device of the first plurality of viewer client devices; and \n provide a first copy ( 202 C) of the second plurality of copies to a first viewer client device ( 200 C) of the second plurality of viewer client devices via a second video Internet communication channel ( 204 C) between the plurality of media sources and the first viewer client device of the second plurality of viewer client devices; \n B) a control server ( 500 ) to periodically retrieve, via the Internet and from an event information provider ( 55 ), first event information ( 502 A) germane to a first live sporting event, wherein the first event information includes first score information ( 504 A) for the first live sporting event; and C) at least one socket server ( 600 ) communicatively coupled to the control server to:\n receive from the control server at least the first score information; and \n transmit the first score information ( 504 A) to at least the first viewer client device ( 200 A) of the first plurality of viewer client devices via a first event information Internet communication channel ( 206 A) between at least one first event socket ( 602 A) of the at least one socket server and the first viewer client device of the first plurality of viewer devices, wherein the at least one first event socket corresponds to the first event information germane to the first live sporting event.
