Abstract: A caller queue system and process for a video call-in system. The system includes a waiting room server that connects to a plurality of caller devices over a network. The waiting room server may provide content to the plurality of video caller devices and collects input received from the plurality of video caller devices. A queue managing module connected to the waiting room server prioritizes or sorts the plurality of video caller devices in a queue based on the input received from the plurality of video caller devices. The system allows a user or producer to prescreen and determine the priority of the callers and accept a higher number callers to be connected to the caller queue system.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to computer based systems and methods for selecting streamed media signals of interest. In one embodiment, the invention can include a program selection system including a user interface such as a remote control to provide interaction between a viewer and a terminal. The terminal can be in communications with a streamed media program source. The system can also include a streamed media address table or database stored in terminal memory. The streamed media address table can contain one or more online network address corresponding to an input code or channel number. Upon receiving a user input corresponding to an online address, the communications interface can then retrieve the streamed media program.
