Evaluating Performance of Viewers

Abstract

Methods, systems, and products evaluate a performance of a viewer watching a video stream. Prompts are displayed during the video stream, and the prompts elicit a response from a viewer. If the viewer timely responds to the prompts, then the viewer may be rewarded.

1 . A method, comprising:
 sending electronic prompts into a network for delivery to a device, the electronic prompts requesting responses from a user of the device;   receiving an input from the network, the input sent from the device in response to the electronic prompts;   determining the input matches an event of interest;   determining a latency in time associated with the input; and   evaluating a performance of the user based on the latency in time.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising comparing the input to the event of interest. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising comparing the input to events of interest. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving a log of inputs to the device in response to the electronic prompts. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising comparing the log of inputs to the device to events of interest. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising comparing a time of presentation of the electronic prompts to a time of receipt of the input. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising sending a reward to the device in response to the performance of the user. 
     
     
         8 . A device, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:   receiving electronic prompts from a network, the electronic prompts sent from a server;   displaying the electronic prompts requesting a response from a user of the device;   receiving an electronic input in response to display of the electronic prompts;   determining the electronic input matches an event of interest;   determining a latency in time associated with the electronic input; and   evaluating a performance of the user based on the latency in time.   
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise comparing the electronic input to the event of interest. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise comparing the electronic input to events of interest. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving an electronic log of inputs to the device in response to the electronic prompts. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise comparing the electronic log of inputs to the device to events of interest. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise comparing a time of the display of the electronic prompts to a time of receipt of the electronic input. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise retrieving a reward in response to the performance of the user. 
     
     
         15 . A memory storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
 displaying electronic prompts to elicit a response from a user of a device;   receiving an electronic input in response to display of the electronic prompts;   comparing the electronic input to events of interest;   determining a match between the electronic input and one of the events of interest;   determining a latency in time associated with the electronic input in response to the match; and   evaluating a performance of the user based on the latency in time.   
     
     
         16 . The memory of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving the electronic prompts from a network. 
     
     
         17 . The memory of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise comparing a time of the display of the electronic prompts to the time associated with the electronic input. 
     
     
         18 . The memory of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise retrieving a reward in response to the performance of the user. 
     
     
         19 . The memory of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise sending the performance of the user into a network for delivery to a server. 
     
     
         20 . The memory of  claim 19 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a reward sent from the server in response to the performance of the user.
