Abstract

A method of authentication and synchronous interaction between a secondary device and a multi-perspective audiovisual data stream broadcast on a primary device geospatially proximate and/or geospatially disparate to the secondary device is disclosed. In one aspect a method of secondary device includes authenticating the secondary device to a primary device based on a geospatial proximity and/or geospatial disparity of the secondary device and the primary device such that the secondary device is synchronizable with the primary device. The secondary device is synchronized to the primary device such that an audiovisual data stream of the primary device is adjustable through the secondary device. An audiovisual data stream of the primary device may be processed such that the audiovisual data stream is accessible through the secondary device. The audiovisual data stream may be an audiovisual data stream of a live performance of an event.

Claims

1. A method of a secondary device comprising:

authenticating the secondary device to a primary device based on a geospatial proximity of the secondary device and the primary device such that the secondary device is synchronizable with the primary device;

synchronizing the secondary device with the primary device such that an audiovisual data stream of the primary device is adjustable through the secondary device;

processing the audiovisual data stream of the primary device such that the audiovisual data stream is accessible through the secondary device;

processing another audiovisual data stream of the primary device such that the another audiovisual data stream is accessible through the secondary device, wherein the another audiovisual data stream is a different perspective of the audiovisual data stream;

permitting a selection of one of the audiovisual data stream and the another audiovisual data stream based on a preference of a user through the secondary device such that the selection is rendered in the primary device;

processing a supplemental data of the audiovisual data stream based on the selection such that the supplemental data is rendered in the secondary device;

permitting an annotation of the user of the secondary device through a tactile interaction through a display area of the secondary device such that the annotation is rendered in the primary device; and

processing the annotation of the secondary device such that the annotation is rendered in the primary device.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

wherein the primary device is located in a disparate geospatial location; and

wherein the secondary device is also located in a disparate geospatial location.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

determining an availability of another secondary device wherein the another secondary device and the primary device are located in multiple disparate geospatial locations such that the secondary device is synchronizable with the another secondary device;

permitting the annotation of the user of the secondary device such that the annotation is rendered in the another secondary device; and

processing the annotation of the user of the secondary device such that the annotation is rendered in the another secondary device.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein:

wherein the audiovisual data stream is the audiovisual data stream of a live performance of an event;

wherein the supplemental data is one of a statistic based on the live performance of the event and an advertisement based on the live performance of the event;

wherein a wager is permitted between the user of the secondary device and the user of the another secondary device based on a broadcast of the live performance of the event of the primary device;

wherein the wager is processed such that the a monetary unit is transferrable between an account of the user of the secondary device and the account of the user of the another secondary device based on an outcome of the live performance of the event of the primary device; and

wherein the different perspective of the audiovisual data stream is one of a different camera angle feed and a different sound feed of the live performance of the event.
