Lot Summary
This patent portfolio discloses techniques for informing the public about the activity schedules of celebrities over the Internet. Celebrities (e.g., movie stars, politicians, etc.) generally interact with the public through radio shows, magazines, or public appearances. Fans want to be well informed about these activities or appearances so that they can attend, however it is not generally convenient for celebrities to inform their huge fan groups about their activities. A fan must generally learn about the appearance through happenstance or by calling the public person's publicist; a task which is generally impractical or non-convenient. Therefore, techniques are desired for informing fans in real time about the celebrities’ upcoming activities.
Value Proposition: This patent portfolio discloses techniques for providing the activity details or itineraries of celebrities to fans. Information about a celebrity’s activities is collected by the disclosed system from various sources such as the Internet, or through managers or publicists. The system may automatically receive a media schedule data via a network, such as the Internet. Further, the collected information is automatically or manually processed and subsequently stored in a media schedule database. Fans can therefore visit a single website having this media schedule database to search for the information, or subscribe to services for getting this information without browsing various sources on the Internet. Further, the disclosed system may provide information about people associated with a specific individual searched for by the fans (e.g., other cast members of an opera group or other members of a football team etc.).
