Abstract

A system and method of the inventive concept is adaptable to receive information (graphic and audio) generated and affected by direct viewer participation and to be aired to the viewers. The system and method of the present invention provides a unique approach for mass media communication channels wherein the information content to be presented to the viewers is determined not by the management of the television channel but by the viewers actively voting for the topics of their interest and participating in the discussion in the open air.

Claims

1. A media system for receiving user generated content containing transient images of fixed and moving objects together with sound and for transmitting the user generated content to the users by apparatus that converts light and sound into electrical waves and reconverts the user generated content into visible light rays and audible sound, said media system comprising:

a first device operably communicated with a plurality of web bases search engines for continuously tracking in the open Web the topics most commented by the users, and is operably communicated with plurality of telecommunication devices is integrated with the Web for receiving various types of web based user generated content (UGC).

a second device operably communicated with said first device and configured to receive the offline user generated content from the groups of users in response to the mixed content delivered from the first device and presented to the users, and to calculate the number of the users selecting each of the most commented topics to determine score of each of the most commented topics thereby separating the most commented topics according to the score to select the topic with the highest score; and

a controller operatively communicated with said first device and said second device for continuously converting the broadcast received from the second device back into electrical waves to be transmitted through a Television channel, a Web channel, a Mobile channel, and a Radio channel for presenting said broadcast to the groups of users thereby creating bidirectional traffic of the user generated content.

2. A media system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said first device is further defined by the first software system for converging topics most commented by the users and web based user generated content into a special type of mixed content.

3. A media system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said second device is further defined by the second software system for receiving the offline user generated content and for converging the mixed content and offline content into broadcast.

4. A media system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said controller is further defined by a third software system for converting broadcast into electrical waves to be transmitted through telecommunication channels for presenting said broadcast to the groups of users.

5. A media system as set forth in claim 4 wherein said controller is further defined by a television channel.

6. A media system as set forth in claim 4 wherein said controller is further defined by a mobile channel.

7. A media system as set forth in claim 4 wherein said controller is further defined by a Web channel.

8. A media system as set forth in claim 4 wherein said controller is further defined by a radio channel.

9. A method of circulating user generated content containing transient images of fixed or/and moving objects together with sound between a media system and users comprising the steps of:

continuously tracking in the open Web the topics most commented by the users, and receiving various types of web based user generated content thereby forming selected topics of mixed content;

presenting the mixed content to the users, with the help of the anchorman of the mass media system;

receiving the offline users generated content containing transient images of fixed and moving objects together with sound, which is the feedback of the online and offline groups of users to the anchorman of the mass media system;

changing the topics for discussion as the score of one topic being discussed and transmitted is changed by the higher score of another topic;

converging the offline UGC and mixed content into the broadcast of the mass media system—

thus the UGC reproduces itself and is being updated due to the activity of the online and offline groups of users.

10. A method as set forth in claim 9 including the step of incorporating a channel to electronically receive the user generated content containing at least one of transient images of fixed and moving objects together with sound and transmitting the user generated content to the online and offline users through telecommunication channels.

11. A method as set forth in claim 10 wherein the channel is further defined by a television channel.

12. A method as set forth in claim 10 wherein channel is further defined by a Web channel.

13. A method as set forth in claim 10 wherein channel is further defined by a mobile channel.

14. A method as set forth in claim 10 wherein channel is further defined by a radio channel.

15. A media system for receiving user generated content containing transient images of fixed and moving objects together with sound and transmitting the user generated content to the users by virtue of apparatus that converts light and sound into electrical waves and reconverts the user generated content into visible light rays and audible sound, said media system comprising:

a first device operably communicated with a plurality of web based search engines for continuously tracking in the open Web the topics most commented by the users, and operably communicated with a plurality of telecommunication devices integrated with the Web for receiving a various types of web based user generated content (UGC);

a second device operably communicated with said first device and configured to receive the offline user generated content from the groups of users in response to the mixed content delivered from the first device and presented to the users, and to calculate the number of the users selecting each of the most commented topics to determine the score of each of the most commented topics thereby separating the most commented topics according to the score to select the topic with the highest score;

a controller operatively communicated with said first device and said second device for continuously converting the broadcast received from second device back into electrical waves to be transmitted through Television channel, Web channel, Mobile channel, and Radio channel for presenting to the online and offline groups of users thereby creating bidirectional traffic of the user generated content;

a first software system for receiving and converging topics most commented by the users and web based user generated content into a special type of mixed content;

a second software system for receiving the mixed content and offline user generated content and for converging the mixed content and offline content into broadcast; and

a third software system for converting broadcast into electrical waves to be transmitted through telecommunication channels, a television channel, a Web channel, a mobile channel, and a radio channel for presenting to the online and offline groups of users.
