1. A computer system for scheduling at least one selectable option associated with a scheduling opportunity, the computer system comprising:
- a computer network interface that receives from an interactive media receiver, through a computer network, a unique identifier specific to the scheduling opportunity and a responder identifier associated with the interactive media receiver;
one or more electronic databases that comprise at least a first database entry associated with the unique identifier specific to the scheduling opportunity and a second database entry associated with the responder identifier; and
one or more computer processors that;
access the first database entry and the second database entry;
determine the at least one selectable option associated with the scheduling opportunity;
determine a first selectable option from the at least one selectable option based at least in part on information corollary to the second database entry associated with the responder identifier and information corollary to the first database entry associated with the unique identifier specific to the scheduling opportunity;
store, in the one or more electronic databases, the first selectable option in association with the responder identifier;
cause transmission of at least the first selectable option by the computer network interface to the interactive media receiver; and
cause generation of one or more reminders associated with the first selectable option, wherein the one or more reminders are caused to be generated by at least one of the following;
the interactive media receiver, a device associated with the interactive media receiver, the computer system, a different computer system that communicates with the device associated with the interactive media receiver.

Abstract
The user can respond to a media segment wherein the media segment may be associated with a schedulable event. Software on the device can then schedule the event into an electronic calendar system, and/or may use data associated with the media segment. At the appropriate time, the electronic calendar system may notify the user of the scheduled broadcast and/or event.

11. A computer system for coordinated scheduling, the computer system comprising:
-
an electronic media receiver that receives an interactive media transmission and a unique identifier specific to a scheduling opportunity corollary to the interactive media transmission; at least one computer processor that determines at least one selectable option associated with the scheduling opportunity and a responder identifier associated with the electronic media receiver; an electronic display that presents the at least one selectable option associated with the scheduling opportunity, wherein the at least one computer processor further determines an associated device to coordinate scheduling of the scheduling opportunity; a computer network interface that communicates with the associated device, through a computer network, information corresponding to the scheduling opportunity including at least the unique identifier specific to a scheduling opportunity corollary to the interactive media transmission and the responder identifier associated with the electronic media receiver; and a user interface that enables selection of the at least one selectable option associated with the scheduling opportunity and the responder identifier associated with the electronic media receiver, wherein the computer network interface further communicates at least the selection of the at least one selectable option, the unique identifier specific to a scheduling opportunity corollary to the interactive media transmission and the responder identifier associated with the electronic media receiver to the associated device through the computer network, causing the associated device to perform at least one of the following;
generate a reminder, generate a calendar entry, record a media event. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
