Method and system for simulating a mock press conference for fantasy sports
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for simulating a mock press Conference (MPC), accompanied with podium and media flashes, for fantasy sports to enable a viewer to experience a realistic simulation of a press conference given by a user/interviewee and an interviewer, the computer-implemented method comprises:
- presenting a plurality of topics and corresponding questions to the user, wherein the questions are pre-loaded and recorded by a reporter representing a media outlet;
allowing the user to select a topic and further allowing the user to select a question disseminated by the media to which the user desires to give a simulated response;
displaying a MPC screen, the MPC screen comprisingan area for displaying the topic,a separate area for displaying a logo,a video area, to left of the area for displaying the topic, for running a MPC video during playback of the MPC video and for facilitating streaming of advertisements simultaneously with the MPC video when the MPC video is played back,a timer for indicating countdown of a MPC session,a separate area for displaying a plurality of questions to the user,a separate area for scripting out text of the selected question, anda separate area for providing instruction prompts to the user,displaying an instruction prompt “
Get Ready”
to answer the question;
displaying an instruction prompt “
Wait for Question”
as the question is loaded and simultaneously played back for the user to hear;
displaying an instruction prompt “
Speak”
to notify the user to respond;
recording the user'"'"'s response to the question within a pre-defined time period defined by the timer;
hitting media camera flashes while user'"'"'s response is recorded to simulate real-life press conference;
giving the user the option of recording another response to the question;
processing the MPC video once the user successfully completes responding to the question;
pausing the MPC video while the user'"'"'s response is processed;
synchronizing the MPC video with the question for automatic playback to simulate a real-life press conference broadcast with the media flashes; and
promulgating the MPC video by one of (1) emailing the video to other users, (2) uploading and sharing the video with other video-sharing websites or mobile applications;
whereby the user is able to respond to questions or reports disseminated by media outlets, while optimizing form and content of the answer to the question.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for simulating a mock press conference for fantasy sports. The method includes presenting a plurality of topics and corresponding questions to a user. The questions are pre-loaded and recorded by a reporter representing a media outlet. The method also includes allowing the user to select a topic and a question. Further, the method includes recording the user'"'"'s response to the question within a pre-defined time period to develop a corresponding Mock Press Conference video. Furthermore, the method includes processing the Mock Press Conference video once the user successfully completes responding to the question. Moreover, the method includes synchronizing the Mock Press Conference video with the question for automatic playback to simulate a real-life press conference broadcast with media flashes.
