Abstract

The invention discloses a system having electronic means for providing commentary audibly and/or visually, which electronic means is adapted to provide such commentary asynchronously. The system includes multiple asynchronous group triggering on channels. The commentary is divided into channels and/or groups and includes plays based on areas, and not on sequence only. The plays and/or areas are sequenced if required and are provided with associated rules.

Claims

1. A system having electronic means for providing commentary audibly and/or visually, which electronic means is adapted to provide such commentary asynchronously.

2. A system as claimed in claim 1, which includes multiple asynchronous group triggering on channels.

3. A system as claimed in claim 1, in which the commentary is divided into channels and/or groups.

4. A system as claimed in claim 3, in which the channels and/or groups relate to kids, history, pop culture, sport, religion, politics, etc.

5. A system as claimed in claim 1, in which the commentary includes plays based on areas, and not on sequence only.

6. A system as claimed in claim 5, in which the plays and/or areas are sequenced if required and/or provided with associated rules.

8. A system as claimed in claim 5, in which the plays include commentary plays and filling plays.

9. A system as claimed in claim 5, in which the areas have various shapes, including rectangular, circular, polygonal, based on a single road/route.

10. A system as claimed in claim 1, which is adapted to prevent unwanted overlapping or conflicting of areas.

11. A system as claimed in claim 10, in which the preventing of overlapping of areas is achieved by polygonal shaped areas.

7. (canceled)

12. A system as claimed in claim 7, in which the associated rules include at least one of the following:

(a) Time delay;

(b) Speed rules;

(c) Direction rules using bearing;

(d) Timing;

(e) Triggering determined by;

i. Entering an area;

ii. Exiting an area;

iii. While in an area;

(f) Priority rules; and

/or

(g) Only if time.

13. A system as claimed in claim 7, in which the rules are adapted to be changed and/or optimised.

14. A system as claimed in claim 7, which is adapted to adapt the rules by means of a complex adaptive system.

15. A method for providing commentary audibly and/or visually by way of electronic means, includes the step of providing such commentary in an asynchronous manner.

24. A method as claimed in claim 15, which includes the step of preventing unwanted overlapping or conflicting of areas.

29. A system having electronic means for providing commentary audibly and/or visually, which electronic means is adapted to provide commentary and which is adapted to be asynchronously triggered.

30. A system as claimed in claim 29, which includes multiple asynchronous group triggering on channels.
