Content request, storage and/or configuration systems and methods for live content or events

Abstract

A content request, storage, and configuration system is provided for attendees of live events or performances, which associates pieces of content with one or more keywords, and configures the content for the benefit of a user. Content owners load content into the system or link content elsewhere to the system, and optionally designate a set of actions to be taken. Keywords are assigned to the content and actions by the system based on user input and/or auto-generation by the system. Thus, while attending a live event or performance, any of a variety of methods, including but not limited to Short Message Service (SMS) and instant messaging, are used by a user to communicate these keywords to the system, to indicate user interest in the associated content.

1 . A method comprising:
 associating at least one pre-designated keyword with event content related to a live performance or event;   recording the live performance or event in a digital recording; and   in response to receiving a request based on the at least one pre-designated keyword, sending at least one of the digital recording or an other recording associated with the event content based on, at least in part, the at least one pre-designated keyword.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 associating one or more tags representing the at least one pre-designated keyword with the event content; and   storing the one or more tags in a storage medium,   wherein the sending of the at least one of the digital recording or the other recording associated with the event is based on, at least in part, the one or more tags.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving the at least one pre-designated keyword in the request; and   retrieving the at least one of the digital recording or the other recording from one or more databases based on the request.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the receiving of the request based on the at least one pre-designated keyword comprises receiving a short message service (SMS) message, an email, or an instant messaging (IM) message, wherein the SMS message, the email message, and the IM message include the pre-designated keyword. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving configuration information;   defining one or more pre-configured actions based on the configuration information; and   executing the pre-configured actions based on the request.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving configuration information; and   defining the one or more pre-configured actions based on the configuration information, wherein the one or more pre-configured actions include at least one of:

 depositing content associated with the event content in at least one of an account of a user or another account associated with a group of users; 
 authorizing one or more other users to access the content; or 
 sending the content to at least one of the one or more other users or the group of users. 
   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:

 sending the recording of the live performance to at least one of a user or a group of users based on, at least in part, the request.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 receiving a request from the mobile device to associate at least one keyword with the recording of the live performance or event,   wherein the sending is based on, at least in part, the at least one keyword.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:

         14 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 determining whether one or more mobile devices are within a pre-defined proximity of the live performance or event,   wherein the sending includes sending the at least one of the digital recording or the other recording associated with the event content to the one or more mobile devices based on, at least in part, the determining.   
     
     
         15 . A method comprising:
 determining whether a mobile device is within a pre-defined proximity of a live performance or event;   receiving a command phrase from the mobile device when the mobile device is within the pre-defined proximity, wherein the command phrase is associated with content related to the live performance or event; and   at least one of sharing the content with or transferring the content to one or more devices based on, at least in part, the command phrase.
