Abstract

A hybrid audio and visual imagery entertainment system that combines visual imagery obtained as live visual imagery or prerecorded visual imagery with the transmission of live audio displayed on a display for therapeutic benefit to a user. Each of the visual imagery and audio of the system can be viewed or heard by the user on its own; however, it is designed to be viewed and heard simultaneously but where the audio and visual imagery streams are separate and unsynchronized and displayed on a display for viewing and hearing by a user.

IPC Classes  ?

• H04N 21/462 - Content or additional data management e.g. creating a master electronic program guide from data received from the Internet and a Head-end or controlling the complexity of a video stream by scaling the resolution or bit-rate based on the client capabilities
• H04N 21/2187 - Live feed
• H04N 21/262 - Content or additional data distribution scheduling, e.g. sending additional data at off-peak times, updating software modules, calculating the carousel transmission frequency, delaying a video stream transmission or generating play-lists

Abstract

A method for providing programmatic commercial insertion for a hybrid radio-TV channel of a system includes providing integrated or combined radio content from a radio system for broadcasting on the hybrid radio-TV channel, providing television content from a television system for display on the hybrid radio-TV channel during the content blocks; determining whether a video content is available from the radio system or from ad server during the ad insertion point; and determining whether a pre-loaded logo is available from the radio system during the ad insertion points. The method further includes inserting the video content from the radio system into the hybrid radio-TV channel for display if available, otherwise inserting the video content from the ad server, otherwise inserting the pre-loaded logo from the radio system, or otherwise displaying the video content from the television system and/or from the hybrid radio-TV channel. An associated system is also provided.

Abstract

A television entertainment system that combines the visual imagery of television entertainment and transmission with the audio of radio entertainment and transmission to create a new synthesis system for therapeutic benefit designated as Hybrid Radio Television. Each segment (video/audio) of the system can be viewed or heard/listened to on its own, however, it is designed to be viewed and heard/listened to as an integrated whole, as selected by a viewer.
