ABSTRACT:
An interactive television system in which the television program and a computer program are integrated to provide a viewer-friendly environment in which the viewer can participate on a real time basis with other viewers. The programmed computer system receives inputs from viewers in response to the television program content. A programmed interactive computer system processes the viewer inputs in accordance with parameters and algorithms correlated with the transmitted television program material. The system processes, for each participating viewer, his or her results based on the algorithm for the broadcast television program and the inputs of the other participating viewers. This individual data is stored and is made accessible to the viewer; in the preferred embodiment via a voice synthesizer to the participating viewer who initiates a call to the system.
