1. A system for generating and transmitting a response packet subsequent to receiving a broadcast of a specific broadcast event, the system comprising:
- a receiver that receives the broadcast of the specific broadcast event and a data stream corollary to the specific broadcast event;
one or more processors that extract an event identifier from a portion of the data stream, the event identifier comprising at least a portion of data that enables identification of the broadcast of the specific broadcast event;
an electronic storage medium that stores the event identifier;
an electronic display that displays identifying information corresponding to the broadcast of the specific broadcast event,wherein the one or more processors further;
detect a selection corollary to at least part of the identifying information displayed corresponding to the broadcast of the specific broadcast event,determine an association for the selection of at least part of the identifying information corollary to the event identifier stored in the electronic storage medium, andprepare the response packet for communication, the response packet comprising at least a result of the association of the selection of the at least part of the identifying information corollary to the event identifier; and
a transmitter that transmits the response packet to a response authentication system, 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.

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.

7. A system for generating and transmitting a response packet corollary to an event identifier, the response packet comprising at least a type indication, the system comprising:
-
a receiver that receives a broadcast of a specific broadcast event and a data stream corollary to the specific broadcast event; one or more processors that extract an event identifier from at least a portion of the data stream, the event identifier comprising the type indication and at least a portion of data that enables identification of the broadcast of the specific broadcast event; an electronic storage medium that stores the event identifier; an electronic display that displays 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, wherein the one or more processors further; detect a selection of the at least one option presented, update at least a portion of the event identifier corollary to the selection of the at least one option presented, and prepare the response packet for communication, the response packet comprising at least the portion of the event identifier that has been updated; and a transmitter that transmits the response packet to a response authentication system. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system for identifying media content, the system comprising:
-
a receiver that receives a data stream associated with a broadcast of a media content, the data stream comprising one or more identifiers; a processor that extracts, from the one or more identifiers, data comprising 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 source element including information about a source of the data stream, a reference code;an electronic storage medium that stores the data extracted from the one or more identifiers, the data extracted from the one or more identifiers comprising 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 source element including information about the source of the data stream, the reference code;a transmitter that transmits a system initiated query data packet to an electronic database system, whereby the system initiated query data packet includes at least one of the following;
an identification of the source of the broadcast of the media content, an identification of the source of the data stream, the reference code, the media content element, the source element; andthe receiver further receives an interactive response from the electronic database system, the interactive response including a response packet comprising a result of a query based on the system initiated query data packet. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
