Abstract

A live event may be broadcast with a combination signal that includes a computer coded description of subevents that constitute the event and an audio or visual signal. The viewer's computer then provides an indication to the viewer of the occurrence of subevents of interest and allows the viewer of the event to search for such subevents in a recording of the event.
