Abstract

Systems and methods for modifying broadcast interfaces based on detected broadcast events are disclosed. The system can identify a player profile corresponding to an application executing on a broadcast receiver device, and detect a change in a status of an interaction associated with the player profile. The system can generate instructions for the application executing on the broadcast receiver device that causes the application executing on the broadcast receiver device to display a notification based on the change in the status of the interaction. The system can transmit the instructions to the broadcast receiver device to cause the application executing on the broadcast receiver device to display the notification as an overlay to a broadcast received by the broadcast receiver device.

Claims (51)

1. A system, comprising:

one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory, the one or more processors configured to:

identify a wager associated with a player profile that indicates a live sporting event, the player profile associated with a broadcast receiver device presenting broadcast content;

generate, for the identified wager, instructions for the broadcast receiver device that cause the broadcast receiver device to:

present a content item with the broadcast content, the content item comprising odds of the wager for the live sporting event and configured to receive a second wager based on the odds, and

periodically request updated odds information and present the updated odds information in the content item with the broadcast content;

transmit the instructions to the broadcast receiver device to present the content item with the broadcast content;

receive a second wager corresponding to the updated odds information presented via the content item; and

update the player profile to include an identifier of the second wager.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

restrict transmission of second instructions to present a second content item at the broadcast receiver device based on a notification restriction policy.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive an identifier of the player profile from an application executing on the broadcast receiver device.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

detect a change in odds of the wager; and

transmit the instructions in response to detecting the change in the odds.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the content item includes an interactive element that, when interacted with, causes the broadcast receiver device to a broadcast of the live sporting event.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

identify the live sporting event in response to receiving an indication of the wager from a computing device or the broadcast receiver device associated with the player profile.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

transmit the content item in response to a request for content received from the broadcast receiver device.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

maintain a plurality of player profiles each associated with a respective broadcast receiver device.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

transmit the instructions via a broadcast provider system providing the broadcast content to the broadcast receiver device.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the broadcast receiver device to transmit an indication of the broadcast content presented via the broadcast receiver device.

11. A method, comprising:

identifying, by one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory, a wager associated with a player profile that indicates a live sporting event, the player profile associated with a broadcast receiver device presenting broadcast content;

generating, by the one or more processors, for the identified wager, instructions for the broadcast receiver device that cause the broadcast receiver device to:

present a content item with the broadcast content, the content item comprising odds of the wager for the live sporting event and configured to receive a second wager based on the odds, and

periodically request updated odds information and present the updated odds information in the content item with the broadcast content;

transmitting, by the one or more processors, the instructions to the broadcast receiver device to present the content item with the broadcast content;

receiving, by the one or more processors, a second wager corresponding to the updated odds information presented via the content item; and

updating, by the one or more processors, the player profile to include an identifier of the second wager.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

restricting, by the one or more processors, transmission of second instructions to present a second content item at the broadcast receiver device based on a notification restriction policy.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, by the one or more processors, an identifier of the player profile from an application executing on the broadcast receiver device.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

detecting, by the one or more processors, a change in odds of the wager; and

transmitting, by the one or more processors, the instructions in response to detecting the change in the odds.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the content item includes an interactive element that, when interacted with, causes the broadcast receiver device to a broadcast of the live sporting event.

16. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

identifying, by the one or more processors, the live sporting event in response to receiving an indication of the wager from a computing device or the broadcast receiver device associated with the player profile.

17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the one or more processors, the content item in response to a request for content received from the broadcast receiver device.

18. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

maintaining, by the one or more processors, a plurality of player profiles each associated with a respective broadcast receiver device.

19. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the one or more processors, the instructions via a broadcast provider system providing the broadcast content to the broadcast receiver device.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the broadcast receiver device to transmit an indication of the broadcast content presented via the broadcast receiver device.
