Abstract

Embodiments are disclosed to provide the prediction of viewable events. Predicting viewable events will allow users to know what events will likely be viewable in a particular venue, such as a restaurant, bar, or private home. Information about venues and events is populated in a database by a plurality of venues or users. Users wishing to view a particular event can search for a venue that has a high probability of showing that event.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

storing information, wherein the information consists of information about one or more venues and information about one or more viewable events, determining a probability that a venue will display an event, distributing the probability to one or more users.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the information about one or more venues further comprises the name of the venue.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the information about one or more viewable events further comprises the type of the viewable event.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the users access the probability by using a computing device.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the computing device contains an application that allows the users to access the probability.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the information about one or more venues is entered into a prediction engine by the venue or by the users.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the information about one or more viewable events is entered into a prediction engine by the venue or by the users.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the probability allows users to find a venue that is likely to display a viewable event.

9. A system for predicting viewable events comprising:

a prediction engine that generates a probability, one or more databases configured to store information about a plurality of venues and a plurality of viewable events, and an application that allows a user to retrieve the probability from the prediction engine to determine the likelihood a venue will display a viewable event.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the information about a plurality of viewable events includes information about the type of viewable events.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the information about a plurality of venues includes the name of the venue.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the application is executed on a computing device.

13. The system of claim 9, wherein the application further comprises a check-in function.

14. The system of claim 9, wherein the information in the one or more databases is populated by one or more users or venues.

15. A method for predicting viewable events comprising:

receiving viewable event information, receiving venue information, generating a prediction that a venue will display a viewable event, transmitting the prediction to a user.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the viewable event information includes the type of the event.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the venue information includes the name of the venue.

18. The method of claim 15, wherein the prediction is a probability of whether a venue will display a viewable event.

19. The method of claim 15, wherein the viewable event information and the venue information is stored in one or more databases.

20. The method of claim 15, wherein the user uses a computer application to receive the prediction.
