    Abstract: In order to allow viewers to interact with a television broadcast, a central control establishes a virtual environment in which viewers participate with characters designed by them. Viewers can create a character with the aid of a computer and then submit the character to the television show on disk or transmit the character via a web site. In order to create characters, a user “preprograms” a character by setting certain parameters and characteristics. Thereafter, the character would operate autonomously. During the television broadcast, some of the characters submitted to the television show or web site can be selected for appearance on the show by any conventional means, such as by lottery, sequentially or based on the merits of characters submitted to the television show, etc. Characters may also be submitted before the show and selected based on a “virtual interview.”

    Abstract translation: 为了允许观众与电视广播进行交互，中央控制系统建立了一个虚拟环境，观众将参与其中设计的角色。 观众可以借助电脑创建一个角色，然后将角色提交到磁盘上的电视节目或通过网站传输角色。 为了创建字符，用户可以通过设置某些参数和特征“预制”字符。 此后，角色将自主运作。 在电视广播中，提交给电视节目或网站的一些角色可以通过常规手段，如彩票，依次或基于提交给电视节目的角色的优点等选择出现在演出中。 角色也可以在节目前提交，并根据“虚拟采访”进行选择。
