1. A computer-implemented method for generating a response packet subsequent to receiving a broadcast of a specific broadcast event using a receiving device, the method comprising:
- receiving the broadcast of the specific broadcast event and a data stream corollary to the specific broadcast event using the receiving device;
extracting an event identifier from a portion of the data stream using the receiving device, the event identifier comprising at least a portion of data required to enable identification of the broadcast of the specific broadcast event;
storing the event identifier in an electronic storage medium using the receiving device;
presenting, using an electronic display, identifying information corresponding to the broadcast of the specific broadcast event using the receiving device;
detecting, using at least one processor, a selection of at least part of the identifying information presented corresponding to the broadcast of the specific broadcast event;
associating, using at least one processor, the selection of at least part of the identifying information corollary to the event identifier stored in the electronic storage medium;
preparing the response packet for communication, the response packet comprising at least the result of the association of the selection of the at least part of the identifying information corollary to the event identifier; and
transmitting, using the receiving device, the response packet to a response authentication system, the response packet including at least the result of the association of the selection of the at least part of the identifying information corollary to the event identifier.

Abstract
A system and method for broadcast response generally employing RDS, DARC, or similar technology is provided, including a method for responding to a broadcast comprising extracting an event identifier from a broadcast signal; detecting a response by a user to the broadcast signal; polling a communications device to determine a user identifier; and communicating the event identifier and the user identifier when the user response is detected.

1. A computer-implemented method for generating a response packet subsequent to receiving a broadcast of a specific broadcast event using a receiving device, the method comprising:
-
receiving the broadcast of the specific broadcast event and a data stream corollary to the specific broadcast event using the receiving device; extracting an event identifier from a portion of the data stream using the receiving device, the event identifier comprising at least a portion of data required to enable identification of the broadcast of the specific broadcast event; storing the event identifier in an electronic storage medium using the receiving device; presenting, using an electronic display, identifying information corresponding to the broadcast of the specific broadcast event using the receiving device; detecting, using at least one processor, a selection of at least part of the identifying information presented corresponding to the broadcast of the specific broadcast event; associating, using at least one processor, the selection of at least part of the identifying information corollary to the event identifier stored in the electronic storage medium; preparing the response packet for communication, the response packet comprising at least the result of the association of the selection of the at least part of the identifying information corollary to the event identifier; and transmitting, using the receiving device, the response packet to a response authentication system, the response packet including at least the result of the association of the selection of the at least part of the identifying information corollary to the event identifier. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

7. A computer-implemented method of generating, using a receiving device, a response packet corollary to an event identifier, the response packet comprising at least a type indication, the method comprising:
-
receiving a broadcast of a specific broadcast event and a data stream corollary to the specific broadcast event using the receiving device; extracting an event identifier from at least a portion of the data stream using the receiving device, the event identifier comprising the type indication and at least a portion of data required to enable identification of the broadcast of the specific broadcast event; storing the event identifier in an electronic storage medium associated with the receiving device; presenting, using an electronic display, at least one option corresponding to the broadcast of the specific broadcast event, the at least one option derived at least in part from the type indication; detecting a selection of the at least one option presented; updating, using at least one processor, at least a portion of the event identifier corollary to the selection of the at least one option presented; preparing the response packet for communication, the response packet comprising at least the portion of the event identifier that has been updated; and transmitting, using the receiving device, the response packet to a response authentication system. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer-implemented method for identifying media content using a receiving device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, substantially concurrently on the receiving device, a data stream and a broadcast of a media content, the data stream comprising one or more identifiers; extracting, from the one or more identifiers, at least one of the following;
a media content element including information about the media content, a source element including information about a source of the broadcast of the media content, a reference code;storing in an electronic storage medium, using the receiving device, at least one of the following;
the media content element including information about the media content, the source element including information about the source of the broadcast of the media content, the reference code;transmitting without user initiation, using the receiving device, a query data packet to an electronic database system, whereby the query data packet includes at least one of the following;
an identification of the source of the communication, the stored reference code, the stored media element, the stored source element; andreceiving an interactive response from the database system, the interactive response including a response packet comprising a result of a query based on the query data packet. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
