First Claim
1. A method for validating a selection made by a user in connection with a remote application, the method comprising:
- receiving a video feed from a video source, wherein the video feed includes at least one image;
receiving with the video feed corresponding video metadata, wherein the video metadata includes electronic information representing the at least one image in the video feed;
transmitting the video feed to the user via a broadcaster;
transmitting the video metadata to a data matching engine;
receiving from the user the selection, wherein the selection is responsive to the video feed;
receiving by the data matching engine user metadata that includes electronic information representing the selection; and
matching by the data matching engine the video metadata with the user metadata to provide matched metadata, wherein the user'"'"'s selection is validated as a function of cross-referencing the matched metadata and the video feed.

Abstract
The invention includes a system and method for validating a selection made by a user in connection with a remote application. A video feed that includes at least one image is received from a video source. Corresponding video metadata that includes electronic information representing the at least one image in the video feed is received with the video feed. The video feed is transmitted to the user via a broadcaster, and the video metadata is transmitted to a data matching engine. Thereafter, the selection that is responsive to the video feed, is received from the user, and user metadata that includes electronic information representing the selection is transmitted to the data matching engine. The data matching engine provides matched metadata of the video metadata with the user metadata and the user'"'"'s selection is validated as a function of cross-referencing the matched metadata and the video feed.

19. A method for executing a wager in connection with a remote gaming application, the method comprising:
-
maintaining an electronic financial account for a user operable to debit the wager and further operable to credit proceeds from the wager;
receiving a first video feed from a gaming location, wherein the first video feed includes first live game action images representing first live game action occurring at the gaming location;
receiving corresponding first video metadata with the first video feed, wherein the first video metadata includes electronic information representing the images in the first video feed;
transmitting the first video feed to the user via a broadcaster;
transmitting the first video metadata to a data matching engine;
receiving from the user the wager, wherein the wager includes an amount directed by the user to be placed on the first live game action represented in the first video feed;
receiving by the data matching engine user metadata that includes electronic information representing the wager;
matching by the data matching engine the first video metadata with the user metadata to provide matched metadata; and
executing the wager based on the matched metadata and a rule associated with the live game action. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A system for validating a selection made by a user in connection with a remote application, the system comprising:
-
a video feed from a video source, wherein the video feed includes at least one image;
video metadata that includes electronic information representing the at least one image in the video feed;
a media asset management server operable to receive the video feed and the video metadata, and further operable to transmit the video feed to the user via a broadcaster;
a data matching engine operable to receive from the media asset management server the video metadata;
a user selection device operable to receive a selection from the user that is responsive to the video feed;
user metadata that includes electronic information representing the selection and that is transmitted from the user selection device to the data matching engine, wherein the data matching engine matches the video metadata with the user metadata to provide matched metadata, and further wherein the user'"'"'s selection is validated as a function of cross-referencing the matched metadata and the video feed. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
