1. A media rating method comprising:
- surveying by a receiving device configurable for receiving media data at least a portion of media data receivable from a sharing device, the media data comprising metadata and at least one of audio, video and textual data, the metadata comprising a plurality of data elements, at least one of the data elements for at least one of uniquely identifying and being descriptive of the at least one of audio, video and textual data;
providing a rating score by a user of the receiving device, the rating score indicating how well the user liked the media data;
generating a credit amount based on the rating score;
extracting at least one of the plurality of data elements from the metadata; and
generating a data packet, the data packet comprising the rating score, the credit amount, and the extracted at least one of the plurality of data elements from the metadata, the data packet for appraising the media data,wherein generating the data packet comprises providing a credit amount, comparing the credit amount to a rating amount in response to operation of a user interface, generating the rating score in response to the credit amount being one of equal to and more than the rating amount, and deducting the rating amount from the credit amount in response to the rating score being generated; and
wherein the data packet is subsequently transmittable to the sharing device.

Abstract
A method and system for rating media. The media is one or a combination of audio, video and textual data. The media rating method comprises surveying at least a portion of media data received from a device and detecting generation of rating data, the rating data for appraising the media data. The method further comprises transmitting the rating data to the device. The system comprises a device-readable medium having programming instructions stored therein. The instructions when executed on a first device cause the first device to survey at least a portion of media data received from a second device, detect generation of rating data and transmit the rating data to the second device.

10. A device-readable medium having stored therein a plurality of programming instructions, which when executed on a first device configured for receiving media, the instructions cause the first device to:
-
survey at least a portion of media data receivable from a second device configured for sharing media data, the media data comprising metadata and at least one of audio, video and textual data, the metadata comprising a plurality of data elements, at least one of the data elements for at least one of uniquely identifying and being descriptive of the at least one of audio, video and textual data; provide a rating score by a user of the first device, the rating score indicating how well the user liked the media data; generate a credit amount based on the rating score; extract at least one of the plurality of data elements from the metadata; and generate a data packet, the data packet comprising the rating score, the credit amount, and the extracted at least one of the plurality of data elements from the metadata, the data packet for appraising the media data, wherein generating the data packet comprises providing the credit amount, comparing the credit amount to a rating amount in response to operation of a user interface, generating the rating score in response to the credit amount being one of equal to and more than the rating amount, and deducting the rating amount from the credit amount in response to the rating score being generated; wherein the data packet is subsequently transmittable to the second device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A media rating system comprising:
-
means for surveying by a receiving device at least a portion of media data receivable from a sharing device, the media data comprising metadata and at least one of audio, video and textual data, the metadata comprising a plurality of data elements, at least one of the data elements for at least one of uniquely identifying and being descriptive of the at least one of audio, video and textual data; means for providing a rating score by a user of the receiving device, the rating score indicating how well the user liked the media data; means for generating a credit score based on the rating score; means for extracting at least one of the plurality of data elements from the metadata; and means for generating a data packet, the data packet comprising the rating score, the credit amount, and the extracted at least one of the plurality of data elements from the metadata, the data packet for appraising the media data; means for detecting generation of the data packet comprising means for providing a credit amount, means for comparing the credit amount to a rating amount in response to operation of the user interface being detected, means for generating the rating score in response to the credit amount being one of equal to and more than the rating amount, and means for deducting the rating amount from the credit amount in response to the rating score being generated; wherein the data packet is subsequently transmittable to the sharing device. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
