DATA MEASUREMENT AND FEEDBACK MECHANISM USING AN APPLICATION FRAMEWORK
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request to switch a user device from a first media channel to a second media channel, wherein the second media channel is a unidirectional broadcast channel;
presenting a barker screen for display on an output interface associated with the user device, the barker screen including a request for user input and blocking at least a portion of the output interface, wherein the barker screen is triggered by the switch from the first media channel to the second media channel;
receiving user input in response to the request for user input; and
presenting dynamically modified media content associated with the second media channel.

Abstract
Techniques and apparatuses are provided for conditioning media content based on user input. In one implementation, a barker screen is displayed on an output interface of the user device when a request to switch media channels is received. The barker screen may include a request for user input and at least partially block the output interface. As such, the content of the new channel may be at least partially unavailable until user input is received. Furthermore, techniques and apparatuses are provided for transmitting a request for user input to the user device switched to a unidirectional broadcast channel. Information contained in responses generated based on user inputs is then used to adjust media content.

11. A method comprising:
-
transmitting a request through a unidirectional broadcast channel to a user device switched to the unidirectional broadcast channel, wherein the request is configured to display a request screen on an output interface of the user device and collect user input; receiving a response from the user device generated based on the user input; processing the response received from the user device; and performing an adjustment of the media content based on information contained in the response. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
