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 112):
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 a set of cohorts, wherein each cohort constitutes participants in one or more real-time games of skill or chance or other entertainment; \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 one or more televised sports events with a plurality of latencies; and \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 a response to the real-time game of skill or chance or other entertainment, wherein a first cohort of the set of cohorts is watching a first televised sports event, and a second cohort of the set of cohorts is watching a second televised sports event; and \n b. a processor for processing the application.
