Conditional audio content delivery method and system
First Claim
1. A communication method for selective transmission of messages between a publisher and one or more members of a publisher'"'"'s network, comprising:
- receiving a request from a member of the publisher'"'"'s network to communicate with the publisher;
ordering the request to communicate from the member of the publisher'"'"'s network according to a queuing scheme that serializes the request with other requests from one or more other members of the publisher'"'"'s network;
determining if a response to the request from the member should be made through a synchronous interactive communication channel rather than the queuing scheme and an asynchronous communication channel;
ordering a response from the publisher responsive to the determination and according to a queuing scheme that serializes the response to the request along with other responses to one or more other requests over the asynchronous communication channel from other members of the publishers network in accordance with determining the publisher'"'"'s indication; and
establishing the synchronous interactive communication channel responsive to the determination that circumvents the queuing scheme and is capable of delivering a response to the request directly to the member of the publisher'"'"'s network making the request.

Abstract
A method of transmitting audio content over a communication network includes generating a predetermined audio content in a format capable of being transmitted to members in the publisher'"'"'s network; receiving a request for the predetermined audio content from the members interested in receiving the audio content; embedding advertisements into the predetermined audio content selected according to details describing each of the members and transmitting to each of the members the predetermined audio content embedded with the advertisements selected specifically for each member. Additionally, a communication method selectively transmits messages between a publisher and members of a publisher'"'"'s network. The communication method includes receiving a request from a member of the publisher'"'"'s network to communicate with the publisher, ordering the request to communicate from the member according to a queuing scheme that serializes the request with other requests from other members of the publisher'"'"'s network, determining if a response to the request from the member should be made through a synchronous interactive communication channel rather than the queuing scheme and an asynchronous communication channel, ordering a response from the publisher responsive to the determination and according to a queuing scheme that serializes the response to the request along with other responses to other requests over the asynchronous communication channel from other members and establishing the synchronous interactive communication channel responsive to the determination that circumvents the queuing scheme and is capable of delivering a response to the request directly to the member making the request.

8. A communication apparatus that selectively transmits messages between a publisher and one or more members of a publisher'"'"'s network, comprising:
-
a processor configured to execute instructions; a memory containing instructions, when executed, cause the processor to receive a request from a member of the publisher'"'"'s network to communicate with the publisher, order the request to communicate from the member of the publisher'"'"'s network according to a queuing scheme that serializes the request with other requests from one or more other members of the publisher'"'"'s network, determine if a response to the request from the member should be made through a synchronous interactive communication channel rather than the queuing scheme and an asynchronous communication channel, order a response from the publisher responsive to the determination and according to a queuing scheme that serializes the response to the request along with other responses to one or more other requests over the asynchronous communication channel from other members of the publishers network in accordance with determining the publisher'"'"'s indication, establish the synchronous interactive communication channel responsive to the determination that circumvents the queuing scheme and is capable of delivering a response to the request directly to the member of the publisher'"'"'s network making the request. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer program product, tangibly stored on one or more computer-readable media, comprising instructions for causing a computer to selectively transmit messages between a publisher and one or more members of a publisher'"'"'s network, the instructions when executed, arranged to:
-
receive a request from a member of the publisher'"'"'s network to communicate with the publisher, order the request to communicate from the member of the publisher'"'"'s network according to a queuing scheme that serializes the request with other requests from one or more other members of the publisher'"'"'s network; determine if a response to the request from the member should be made through a synchronous interactive communication channel rather than the queuing scheme and an asynchronous communication channel; order a response from the publisher responsive to the determination and according to a queuing scheme that serializes the response to the request along with other responses to one or more other requests over the asynchronous communication channel from other members of the publishers network in accordance with determining the publisher'"'"'s indication; and establish the synchronous interactive communication channel responsive to the determination that circumvents the queuing scheme and is capable of delivering a response to the request directly to the member of the publisher'"'"'s network making the request. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
