Method of and system for providing parallel media gateway
First Claim
1. A method for providing a parallel media gateway over a computer network, comprising the steps of:
- a. establishing and maintaining a server connected to said computer network and accessible by a user for receiving customized request of data streams from the user;
b. obtaining data streams requested by said user from a stream server and providing said user with the requested data streams via said computer network;
c. implementing a parallel media gateway protocol for adding self provisioning content in real-time to said data streams requested by said user;
d. establishing connection with a telephony infrastructure; and
e. enabling said user to interact with others through telephony endpoints linked to said telephony infrastructure while retrieving event driven, message oriented data streams via said computer network.

Abstract
A method and system for providing a parallel media gateway over the Internet. The system includes a parallel media gateway protocol for providing an event driven, message oriented video stream broadcasting scheme with parallel telephony exchange of digital audio streams with self provisioning content. The method includes the steps of establishing and maintaining a server connected to the Internet and accessible by a user for receiving customized request of data streams from the user, obtaining data streams requested by the user from a stream server and providing the user with the requested data streams via the Internet, implementing a parallel media gateway protocol for adding self provisioning content in real-time to the data streams requested by the user, establishing connection with a telephony infrastructure, and enabling the user to interact with others through telephony endpoints linked to the telephony infrastructure while retrieving event driven, message oriented data streams via the Internet.

11. A method for providing a parallel media gateway over a computer network, comprising the steps of:
-
a. establishing and maintaining a server connected to said computer network and accessible by a user at a data endpoint for receiving customized request of data streams from the user;
b. obtaining data streams requested by said user from a stream server and providing said user with the requested data streams via said computer network;
c. implementing a parallel media gateway protocol for ingesting meta-data tags in real-time into said data streams requested by said user;
d. encoding said data streams with self provisioning content in real-time;
e. providing back channel communication between said user and said stream server for facilitating real-time semantic search of data streams by said user;
f. establishing connection with a telephony infrastructure for receiving telephony audio signals and digitizing said audio signals;
g. providing digitized audio signals in parallel to said data streams; and
h. enabling said user to interact with others through telephony endpoints linked to said telephony infrastructure while retrieving event driven, message oriented data streams via said computer network. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20)

16. A method for providing a parallel media gateway over a computer network, comprising the steps of:
-
a. establishing and maintaining a server connected to said computer network and accessible by a user at a data endpoint for ascertaining user information in real-time and receiving customized request of data streams from the user;
b. obtaining data streams requested by said user from a stream server connected to said computer network and providing said user with the requested data streams via said computer network;
c. implementing a parallel media gateway protocol for ingesting meta-data tags in real-time into said data streams requested by said user;
d. utilizing an encoder for encoding said data streams with self provisioning content in real-time;
e. providing back channel communication between said user and said stream server over said computer network for facilitating real-time semantic search of data streams by said user;
f. establishing connection with a telephony infrastructure through a public exchange service for receiving telephony audio signals, and digitizing said audio signals;
g. providing digitized audio signals in parallel to said data streams and archiving said digitized audio signals for playback; and
h. enabling said user to interact with others through telephony endpoints linked to said telephony infrastructure while retrieving event driven, message oriented data streams via said computer network.
