Abstract

The present invention provides systems and methods for experiencing, in real-time, multimedia events from a remote location with ancillary location-associated content. For example, systems and methods of the present invention provide media users or viewers an enhanced, live, local broadcast and related locational information while the user or viewer is located in another geographical location.

Claims

1. A system comprising a service provider, said service provider configured to receive and encode multimedia information comprising;

audio or video information from a mobile broadcaster, information comprising a locational signal from a mobile broadcaster, and information comprising advertising and non-advertising information associated with the location of the mobile broadcaster.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said locational signal is provided from a WGS84 coordinate system or a global positioning system or equivalent system.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein said service provider further comprises a geographic information system.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein said geographic information system is configured to associate advertising or non-advertising ancillary information with multimedia content provided by a remote broadcaster.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein said service provider is further configured to geotag or geocode multimedia information.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein said service provider further maintains a database comprising ancillary information.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein said ancillary information comprises advertising and non-advertising information.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein said ancillary information contains a geographic identification tag.

9. A method for providing locational information comprising;

a) providing;

i) audio or video information, wherein said audio or video information is geographically referenced,

ii) advertising and non-advertising information wherein said advertising and non-advertising information in geotagged,

b) processing said audio or video information, wherein said audio or video information is geographically referenced,

c) correlating said geotagged information with said audio or video information, wherein said audio or video information is geographically referenced, and

d) providing to a user said geotagged information based on the location of said audio or video information.
