ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and system handling information exchange through networks102to110for interactive information exchange, especially for interactive Internet based game show. At least one server120and a plurality of client machines130to146are connected through the networks102to110.First, the server120receives subscription messages from a subset of said client machines130to146.By receiving the subscription messages from the client machines130to146the provider of the particular program knows which users want to participate in the program. In response, the server120composes a request message offering predetermined response options, whereby corresponding response messages are returned through said networks102to110in one or more packets. In parallel, packet forwarding rules are set up in said networks102to110specifying a particular treatment for said returned packets dependent on said predetermined response options. Finally, the server sends the request message to the subset of client machines.
