A content request, storage, and configuration system is provided for
attendees of live events or performances, which associates pieces of
content with one or more keywords, and configures the content for the
benefit of a user. Content owners load content into the system or link
content elsewhere to the system, and optionally designate a set of
actions to be taken. Keywords are assigned to the content and actions by
the system based on user input and/or auto-generation by the system.
Thus, while attending a live event or performance, any of a variety of
methods, including but not limited to Short Message Service (SMS) and
instant messaging, are used by a user to communicate these keywords to
the system, to indicate user interest in the associated content. Receipt
by the system of the keywords from the user triggers the system to
retrieve the relevant pieces of content, associate said content with the
user making the request, and to take the designated actions if
appropriate. In addition, users may designate that the system retrieve
the relevant pieces of content and associate said content with other
users.
