  • Publication number: 20200236445
    Abstract: The disclosed technology can seamlessly integrate consumers into a broadcaster's products and may seamlessly add broadcaster products to their consumer's social sharing. This technology allows broadcasters to define rules for filtering and modifying myriad user-generated content to be suitable for seamless integration in broadcast media. A broadcaster interface allows the broadcaster to select user-generated content in real-time for use within the broadcast presentation. The technology can accomplish this by receiving multiple pieces of user-generated content; curating the user-generated content with ratings, categorizations, or tags; verifying suitability of the user-generated content for broadcast media; and applying broadcaster-defined rules to modify eligible pieces of user-generated content into a form suitable for inclusion in broadcast media.
