SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING MATCHED MULTIMEDIA VIDEO CONTENT
First Claim
1. A method of providing content to a client computing device configured to present the content to a user, the method being performed by one or more computing devices connected to the client computing device, the method comprising:
- receiving an audio feed having audio segments, each of the audio segments including either regular audio content or preemptory audio content;
determining whether each of the audio segments includes regular audio content or preemptory audio content;
for each of the audio segments determined to include preemptory audio content, directing the client computing device to preempt, with the preemptory audio content, any current content being presented by the client computing device; and
for each of the audio segments determined to include regular audio content, identifying the regular audio content, matching multimedia video content with the identified regular audio content, and directing the matched multimedia video content to the client computing device for presentation thereby to the user.

Abstract
A system for providing content to client computing devices. The system is configured to receive an audio feed that includes audio segments. Each audio segment includes either regular audio content or preemptory audio content. The system may determine whether each audio segment includes regular or preemptory audio content. For each audio segment determined to include preemptory audio content, the system may direct the client computing devices to preempt, with the preemptory audio content, any current content being presented by the client computing devices. For each audio segment determined to include regular audio content, the system may identify the regular audio content, match multimedia video content with the identified regular audio content, and direct the matched multimedia video content to the client computing devices for presentation thereby to users.

15. A system for use with a plurality of client computing devices each configured to display audio and video content, the system comprising:
-
at least one update server computing device configured to receive an audio feed comprising audio segments, match at least a portion of the audio segments with video content, and construct an update for each of the audio segments, each update comprising the video content, if any, matched with the audio segment associated with the update; and at least one communication server computing device connected to the plurality of client computing devices and the at least one update server computing device, the at least one communication server computing device being configured to receive the updates, and direct the updates to the plurality of client computing devices. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A method for use with a server computing device and an audio stream received by the server computing device, the method comprising:
-
playing, by a client computing device connected to the server computing device, current content comprising either current video content or current audio only content; while the current content is playing, receiving, by the client computing device, a first update from the server, the first update indicating whether first video content has been matched to first audio content in the audio stream; and when the first update indicates that first video content has been matched to the first audio content, determining, by the client computing device, whether to preempt the current content with the first video content or wait to play the first video content until after the current content has finished playing. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
