Abstract

A method for delivering multimedia services by providing a virtual machine having preconfigured components unique for a client and saving software image of the virtual machine under a special code that serves as a tag that uniquely identifies a networking site of the client. A local partition on the client's physical machine such as a laptop is isolated and the isolate local partition is virtualized to one or many virtual machines to allow the transport of media to a web server of choice that has the capability of streaming back to the interface constantly and instantly for full round trip interactions. The isolated partition of a user can become a live T.V. or radio station via a virtual channel.

Claims (19)

1. A method for delivering multimedia services comprises:

providing a virtual machine containing preconfigured software components unique for a networked electronic service system on a user's local physical machine;

generating a software image of the virtual machine and associating an identifier that uniquely identifies the networked electronic service system as specified by the user;

providing an isolated local physical partition on said user's local physical machine;

running said software image in the isolated local physical partition as if said local physical partition is part of said networked electronic service system; and

forming a communication channel with said networked electronic service system by said software image to allow live streaming media from said user local physical partition to the networked electronic service system that has the capability of streaming back to the user local physical partition constantly and instantly for full round trip interactions.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said isolated local partition is hidden.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein said user's physical machine can be converted into a virtual machine.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein said user's physical machine, when converted into a virtual machine can store, create and transfer multimedia as data to other networking sites and other server entities.

5. The method of claim 3 wherein said user's physical machine when converted into a virtual machine can store, create and transfer multimedia as software images to other networking sites or other server entities.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein the other networking sites are for professional sports and entertainment network sites.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein an agreement is signed between said user and a software vendor of said method prior to the user having access to receive said professional sports and entertainment network site.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein said user promote itself to different entities using live media streaming as a multimedia hub.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein the multimedia hub acts as a main communication broker and expanded tool set that retrieves a previously stored image from an archive, converts the video image back to a video stream that can run a non-progressive stream in its own virtual space or as a service instance on the business client as well as a local instance on the client side.

10. A system for delivering multimedia services comprises:

a virtual machine containing preconfigured software components unique for a networked electronic service system on a user's local physical machine;

a software image of the virtual machine and an identifier that uniquely identifies the networked electronic service system as specified by the user; and

an isolated local physical partition on said user's local physical machine that is used to run said software image in the isolated local physical partition as if said local physical partition is part of said networked electronic service system and to form a communication channel with said networked electronic service system by said software image to allow live streaming media from said user local physical partition to the networked electronic service system that has the capability of streaming back to the user local physical partition constantly and instantly for full round trip interactions.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein said isolated local partition is hidden.
