Methods and Systems for Independent, Personalized, Video-synchronized, Cinema-audio Delivery and Tracking

Content Provider	The Lens
Abstract	The present invention discloses methods and systems for independent, personalized, video-synchronized, cinema-audio delivery and tracking. Methods include the steps of: upon receiving at least one film each having a video source file and at least one audio source file including at least one initial, digital alignment-marker for the video source file and at least one audio source file based on marker information, independently identifying at least one audio-subscriber device; upon receiving at least one request from at least one audio-subscriber device for audio-channel delivery, verifying at least one delivery authorization for at least one audio-subscriber device based on fulfillment criteria; and upon receiving at least one delivery-authorization confirmation, independently delivering and tracking at least one video-synchronized audio channel to each at least one audio-subscriber device. Alternatively, upon receiving a common A/V source file, discretizing the common A/V source file into separate video source file and at least one audio source.

Claim	A method for independent, personalized, video-synchronized, cinema-audio delivery and tracking, the method comprising the steps of: (a) upon receiving at least one film each having a video source file and at least one audio source file including at least one initial, digital alignment-marker for said video source file and said at least one audio source file based on marker information, independently identifying at least one audio-subscriber device; (b) upon receiving at least one request from said at least one audio-subscriber device for audio-channel delivery, verifying at least one delivery authorization for said at least one audio-subscriber device based on fulfillment criteria; and (c) upon receiving at least one delivery-authorization confirmation, independently delivering and tracking at least one video-synchronized audio channel to each said at least one audio-subscriber device. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising the step of: (d) upon receiving at least one film each having a video source file and at least one audio source file without said at least one initial, digital alignment-marker, prior to said step of independently identifying, creating said at least one initial, digital alignment-marker for said video source file and said at least one audio source file based on marker information. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising the step of: (d) upon receiving at least one film having a common A/V source file, prior to said step of independently identifying, discretizing said common A/V source file into separate said video source file and said at least one audio source. The method of claim 1 , wherein said step of independently identifying is performed using at least one authentication technique selected from the group consisting of: a voucher detail, a ticket number, PIN, a public/private key, a username, a subscriber name, a password, and a phone number. The method of claim 1 , wherein any subset or all of said steps of independently identifying, verifying, and independently delivering and tracking are performed in a physical location that is remotely located from a film screening of said at least one film. A system for independent, personalized, video-synchronized, cinema-audio delivery and tracking, the system comprising: (a) a CPU for performing computational operations; (b) a memory module for storing data; (c) a network connection for communicating across a data-exchange protocol system; and (d) an audio-managing module configured for: (i) upon receiving at least one film each having a video source file and at least one audio source file including at least one initial, digital alignment-marker for said video source file and said at least one audio source file based on marker information, independently identifying at least one audio-subscriber device; (ii) upon receiving at least one request from said at least one audio-subscriber device for audio-channel delivery, verifying at least one delivery authorization for said at least one audio-subscriber device based on fulfillment criteria; and (iii) upon receiving at least one delivery-authorization confirmation, independently delivering and tracking at least one video-synchronized audio channel to each said at least one audio-subscriber device. The system of claim 6 , wherein said audio-managing module is further configured for: (iv) upon receiving at least one film each having a video source file and at least one audio source file without said at least one initial, digital alignment-marker, prior to said independently identifying, creating said at least one initial, digital alignment-marker for said video source file and said at least one audio source file based on marker information. The system of claim 6 , wherein said audio-managing module is further configured for: (iv) upon receiving at least one film having a common A/V source file, prior to said independently identifying, discretizing said common A/V source file into separate said video source file and said at least one audio source. The system of claim 6 , wherein said independently identifying is performed using at least one authentication technique selected from the group consisting of: a voucher detail, a ticket number, PIN, a public/private key, a username, a subscriber name, a password, and a phone number. The system of claim 6 , wherein said audio-managing module is configured to perform any subset or all of said independently identifying, verifying, and independently delivering and tracking in a physical location that is remotely located from a film screening of said at least one film. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having computer-readable code embodied on the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, for independent, personalized, video-synchronized, cinema-audio delivery and tracking, the computer-readable code comprising: (a) program code for, upon receiving at least one film each having a video source file and at least one audio source file including at least one initial, digital alignment-marker for said video source file and said at least one audio source file based on marker information, independently identifying at least one audio-subscriber device; (b) program code for, upon receiving at least one request from said at least one audio-subscriber device for audio-channel delivery, verifying at least one delivery authorization for said at least one audio-subscriber device based on fulfillment criteria; and (c) program code for, upon receiving at least one delivery-authorization confirmation, independently delivering and tracking at least one video-synchronized audio channel to each said at least one audio-subscriber device. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , the computer-readable code further comprising: (d) program code for, upon receiving at least one film each having a video source file and at least one audio source file without said at least one initial, digital alignment-marker, prior to said independently identifying, creating said at least one initial, digital alignment-marker for said video source file and said at least one audio source file based on marker information. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , the computer-readable code further comprising: (d) program code for, upon receiving at least one film having a common A/V source file, prior to said independently identifying, discretizing said common A/V source file into separate said video source file and said at least one audio source. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein said independently identifying is performed using at least one authentication technique selected from the group consisting of: a voucher detail, a ticket number, PIN, a public/private key, a username, a subscriber name, a password, and a phone number. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein said program code is configured to perform any subset or all of said independently identifying, verifying, and independently delivering and tracking in a physical location that is remotely located from a film screening of said at least one film.
