[0001] The present invention, called ArenaFan.tv, relates to an innovative multimedia platform. It is in the field of applications for various devices, through a platform that merges the excitement of live sports broadcasts with a powerful social network dedicated to sports users, known as fans. The purpose of this platform is to provide users with a unique and immersive experience by allowing them to stream and consume live and pre-recorded content of sports competitions, both professional and amateur, including informal encounters known as matches or challenges, so that they can interact with other fans and generate their own professional sports-related content.

[0002] This platform provides a fully immersive experience by allowing users to view events from multiple perspectives captured by themselves. Furthermore, the integrated technology enables user interaction and content creation, establishing a new paradigm in the consumption and promotion of sports content. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] In the entertainment world, news and sporting events broadcasts are among the most popular forms of entertainment. Streaming a video stream to a user's device is a popular method. Some of these streams are already available through various sports apps and platforms, some of which have been described in patent documents, such as:

[0004] European Patent EP 3089465 B1, which relates to a broadcasting receiving device that receives a digital broadcasting service capable of executing an application that cooperates with a broadcasting program, and is provided with: a broadcasting receiving unit that receives broadcasting waves of the digital broadcasting service; a separating unit that separates video information related to the broadcast program and application-related information from the received broadcast waves; a broadcast video decoding unit that decodes the video information related to the broadcast program; an application acquiring unit that acquires an application based on location information included in the application-related information; an application executing unit that executes the acquired application and acquires additional data from a server device;a video conversion unit that converts the broadcast program video decoded by the broadcast decoding unit into a high-quality video having a higher quality than the video using the acquired additional data; and a display unit that is capable of displaying the high-quality video.

[0005] US Patent US 10855765B2, which describes a digital media integration exchange system or platform called the MIX Platform, which provides an integration of live video processing and ingestion, live content and media feed ingestion, ad hoc media upload and provisioning, ownership (e.g., website) configuration, content tagging, production, and publishing mechanisms into a single integrated flow or process that supports full integration with live / linear video production and coverage from any source, large-scale publishing across multiple brands at scale, and configuration and control of multiple channels (web, mobile, OTT, native apps, among others) in a single unified workflow.

[0027] Description of the Application (App)

[0028] The ArenaFan.tv platform offers a wide range of features to enrich its users' sports experience. The application allows fans to live stream their video feeds from sporting events to a central server, where they can be viewed by numerous viewers simultaneously with the lowest possible latency. Users have the ability to act as editors, allowing them to customize their broadcasts based on their favorite teams or athletes, thus creating a unique experience for users with similar interests.

[0029] In addition to live streaming, ArenaFan.tv features a sports social network called Fan Gallery, where users can share their favorite sports content, interact through comments and live chat during broadcasts, and enjoy exclusive content from their favorite teams or events. Also included is a Scouting Viewer section, which allows users and talent scouts to profile and highlight emerging sports stars through athlete profiles showcasing their most exciting moments and athletic exploits.

[0030] The platform of the present invention, ArenaFan.tv, is characterized by bringing together the sports world into five main sections, which adapt to the specific interests and needs of different types of users, from the casual consumer to the professional sports representative, thus improving the overall user experience, these are:

[0031] Athlete Profile (SCOUTING) who can share their training videos and best moments on that social network so that sports scouts can contact them.

[0032] In this section, users with an athlete profile will have the opportunity to raise donations that will help them achieve their goals and support their careers. Arena Fan.tv serves as a means and channel of assurance to receive and ensure that donations are channeled toward the established goals.

[0033] This section, in addition to helping athletes and future sports stars, is a very attractive section for television viewers, as they will enjoy hundreds of images of professionals and amateur experts from very different disciplines (see figures 2, 2A, 2B and 2C).

[0034] Video gallery organized by different sports disciplines. This is an innovation in video storage, as there is currently no digital platform that automatically organizes the selection of different sports disciplines, allowing users and viewers to navigate in a very organized manner and according to their sporting preferences. This section is enriched by being divided into two subsections: professional videos for each discipline and amateur videos for the different disciplines. With this, ArenaFan.tv once again supports new talent, since in this video section, in addition to entertainment, you can appreciate new and prospective athletes (see figures 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 3E).

[0035] Broadcasting: The system incorporates a unique feature that allows users to record and stream sporting events in real time through the platform. After the live broadcast, the recorded content is stored on the platform's server and is available for rebroadcasting for an indefinite period of time.

[0036] Limited rebroadcasting ensures that recorded content is not available indefinitely, which can encourage real-time participation and audience interaction during the original broadcasts. During the rebroadcast period, users can access recorded content and relive highlights of sporting events.

[0037] Access control and digital rights management measures are implemented to ensure that broadcasting is limited to a specific period and subject to conditions set by event organizers and broadcast rights holders (see Figure 4).

[0038] Programs, these have an innovative contribution and solve some problems of the sports entertainment industry, since thanks to our service of receiving thousands of videos from fans, we have a very extensive gallery of videos and images of sporting events, with which ArenaFan.tv will become the largest storehouse of sports images, sporting events with hundreds of images from different perspectives and angles and thus this collection of videos is available to encourage content creators to make sports programs and critiques with the largest number of videos, enriching and facilitating their work.

[0039] Live matches: this is one of the greatest advantages of our platform, as sporting events will be reported like never before, from the fan's perspective, with multiple angles and perspectives of the sporting event. This feature, never before reported and displayed, is very innovative, allowing both the television viewer and the user / fan chronicler to truly immerse themselves in each sporting event (see figures 6, 7A, 7B, and 8). Again, this live sports section is subdivided into three subcategories:

[0040] Pro Live Streams - These are events hosted by ArenaFan.tv, whose team of broadcasters and editors provides professional feedback. Viewers tune in to a broadcast curated and edited by ArenaFan.tv experts.

[0041] Live Streaming for Fans - These events can be viewed with raw editing and audio without professional editing equipment, allowing viewers to enjoy a different experience, more coordinated and directed by fans. Fans are connected via geolocation and administration keys from the event host.

[0042] Live Match, these are challenges and sporting events that are organized on the platform to promote a sporting event, match or challenge, thus this innovative tool allows different users to advertise and disseminate a match of the different disciplines (see figures 9, 9A and 9B).

[0043] Each of these sections features editing tools, bookmarks, and participant names, as well as the ability to tag athletes who have an ArenaFan.tv profile.

[0044] Technologies and Development

[0045] The ArenaFan.tv platform utilizes a variety of web and mobile development technologies to provide a seamless and accessible user experience using a mobile interface. On the client side, JavaScript is used to create interactive interfaces on mobile devices, tablets, computers, and smart TVs. The WebRTC protocol enables real-time audio and video streaming, fostering immersion and interactivity, with support from ICE servers to ensure stable, low-latency connections. The application also uses Node.js on the StFU server, optimizing live content distribution and enabling the management of multiple video streams. On the server side, the application uses PHP and frameworks such as Laravel to follow the MVC pattern, facilitating business management and interaction with MySQL databases.The entire infrastructure is based on containerization technologies such as Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes, with load balancing and geographic distribution, ensuring high availability and performance for users, ensuring agile deployment and efficient scalability in the cloud.

[0046] ArenaFan.tv app content, such as images, videos, and audio, is stored on S3-compatible storage servers such as Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure, providing unlimited growth space and fast content transfer via a CDN serving from the location closest to the user.

[0047] Additionally, all video streams are segmented into MP4 fragments to enable adaptive streaming. This technique ensures that content is consumed at the highest possible quality, adapting to the viewer's available bandwidth, ensuring a smooth, high-definition viewing experience regardless of network fluctuations.

[0048] Additionally, we developed and implemented an artificial intelligence (AI) system that will improve the user experience, since with AI we can replicate the physical and / or voice characteristics of characters for the narration of matches. In this way, the chronicler user will be able to choose a character and / or voice of the artificial intelligence to narrate a match and thus we can immortalize well-known public figures or any person who authorizes the use of their image and voice to be emulated by artificial intelligence. This implies the advantage of carrying out a narration in real time or deferred to give the sensation of being commented by a famous character or figure.

[0049] The invention features a computing system for identifying and promoting users at virtual events. It uses facial recognition, voice recognition, or device identification technologies to tag users at virtual events, allowing them to create personal profiles and share event-related content. Identified users can stream virtual events in real time or create videos of their event-related activities, and the content promotion system highlights and promotes content based on its popularity.

[0050] Arena Fan.tv incorporates a system comprising a set of modules integrated into the website, providing an intuitive user interface that allows customers or users to generate payments directly. A secure connection is established between the website and the relevant financial services, ensuring the secure transmission of financial information.

[0051] The direct payment process begins when the user selects the payment option on the website, which triggers a series of authentication and authorization steps. During this process, advanced security measures, such as end-to-end encryption and multi-factor authentication protocols, are implemented to protect sensitive user information.

[0052] Once authentication and authorization are complete, the system facilitates the transfer of funds directly from the user's account to the destination designated on the website. This direct payment method eliminates the need for additional financial intermediaries, streamlining the process and improving the efficiency of online transactions.

[0082] Technologies used:

[0083] Standard HTML and JavaScript web technologies are used to capture and stream live video from users' mobile devices. These technologies work in conjunction with the WebRTC protocol, enabling real-time communication directly from the browser. With the support of our Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) servers, efficient transmission and redistribution of the video is facilitated to all interested viewers of the sporting event.

[0084] To support professional streaming and editing, we have Linux servers configured with Nginx and the RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) module for sending each user's video stream to editing applications or advanced streaming platforms such as Open Broadcaster (OBS) machine-readable media. Streaming to these services is done using HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and / or Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) protocols, depending on the content's destination.

[0085] On the client side, the application uses a mobile interface written in JavaScript, ensuring a fluid experience on mobile devices, tablets, computers, and smart TVs. On the server side, the application uses PHP and the Laravel framework to follow the MVC machine-readable media architecture pattern for efficient and scalable programming. This allows for efficient management of business logic and database communication.

[0086] The application's main database is MySQL, where all information related to sports events, users, and preferences is stored. MySQL was chosen due to its reliability and ability to handle large volumes of data.

[0087] Audio and video streams are processed by a Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) server developed in Node.js that accepts data in VP8 or H.264 format depending on the user's platform.

[0088] For live streaming, audio and video streams are processed by an SFU server developed in NodeJS, WebRTC, and ICE, which accepts data in VP8 and H.264 formats. NodeJS not only redistributes streams among users but also stores them for later viewing in the platform's broadcast area. It is used on the broadcast server in SFU mode to minimize data consumption by fans or streamers and ensure efficient, high-quality streaming. WebRTC enables real-time audio and video streaming over peer-to-peer connections, providing users with an immersive, real-time experience. ICE is used to establish network connections between live stream participants, ensuring a stable, low-latency connection.

[0089] SFU stands for Selective Forwarding Unit in WebRTC. It is a key component in the WebRTC architecture used for real-time video streaming. The SFU acts as an intermediary between participants in a live stream, receiving each participant's video stream and selecting which ones to forward to the other participants. Instead of sending each participant's full video stream to all the others, the SFU selects and forwards only the video streams needed for each participant. This allows for a more efficient and scalable stream, as each participant only needs to receive the video streams relevant to their viewing. The SFU can also perform other functions, such as video mixing and stream quality management.

[0090] Additionally, the app uses NGINX - RTMP as a server to forward video streams received through a browser source to the OBS Studio streaming app. This ensures smooth, high-quality video streaming to viewers, regardless of the platform or device they're using.

[0091] NGINX-RTMP is an NGINX module that enables real-time video streaming over the RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol). It provides an open-source, high-performance media server solution for live and on-demand video streaming. HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) and DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) are two video streaming formats used in NGINX-RTMP. HLS is supported on iOS devices and uses video segments in the MPEG-TS (Transport Stream) format for streaming. DASH, on the other hand, is supported on a wide range of devices and uses video segments in the MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) format. Both formats enable adaptive streaming, meaning the server can automatically adjust video quality based on the user's connection speed. This ensures a smooth and uninterrupted viewing experience, even under varying network conditions.

[0092] App content, such as images, videos, and audio, is stored on S3-compatible servers, such as Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure. These servers provide unlimited storage space and rapid content transfer via a CDN (Content Delivery Network) that serves from the location closest to the user. This ensures rapid consumption and reduced latency for viewers, regardless of their geographic location.

[0093] The ArenaFan.tv application infrastructure is designed to be easily deployed and scaled. It is based on Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes containers, allowing for quick and easy deployment of the server's machine-readable media onto new infrastructure. The Linux virtual servers on which the application runs are hosted in the cloud, and the entire infrastructure is defined in container clusters using Podman / Docker / Compose. This facilitates near-instant horizontal and vertical growth of the application and its installation on new infrastructure using JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, PHP, MySQL, NodeJS, Python, WebRTC, ICE, VP8, H.264, and NGINX - RTMP.
