Inventor Profile Many people enjoy listening to their favorite live radio shows as they stream over their computers, tablets or other mobile devices. As the shows are broadcasted over the airwaves, blanks are scheduled into the timeline, making room for advertisements. When the shows are streamed live onto mobile devices, these blank spaces are empty air time. Being a creative thinker, who is aggravated by these blank spaces, James G. Watkins has designed a way for a live anchor or an operator to manipulate the empty air time so the live show will no longer be interrupted by blank spaces. Mr. Watkins has teamed up for the development of this project with Idea Design Studio, and together they have used their collaborative experience to transform this idea into a marketable platform. The inventor passionately feels a sense of pride about this concept and believes that it deserves immediate attention. Because of the great market that exists for such a concept, he wholeheartedly believes in the positive impact its development and production will have on individuals and the market(s) to which it will be promoted. What is the Concept? The name of the concept the inventor has chosen is The Play DOH X.P. (X-Stream TV Radio Broadcast Preparation), although he is open to the possibility of a name change and reserves final approval regarding the official name. Branding is important, of course, but the concept is the official foundation for the invention and any forthcoming applications of the invention. The concept Mr. Watkins has envisions is a live TV/radio broadcasting unit that converts live, on-air audio into media. It provides the anchor or host with an easy-to-use operation screen for video and ad editing. A further, more detailed explanation of the functionality of this invention will be elaborated upon in the following segment. How Does it Work? Mr. Watkins has been designing and documenting this concept for quite some time. He has several "mock-up" drawings of the product, which have provided the inventor with a sense of how the concept will appear once brought into production. This is beneficial for making any necessary modifications and revisions for improvements; thus promoting a more satisfactory and overall accommodating product. As currently designed in the technical drawings and 3-D models, the invention has unique features not presently available in the marketplace. Although the system has not yet been engineered and is still in the developmental stages, an explanation of possible functionality is as follows: The Play DOH X.P. is a unit built with two parts that work together. The first part is the anchor telecom control screen. This is where the anchor or host can operate the live broadcast, on-air and off-air. The second part is a live media radio broadcast streaming converter or transmitter system. This is where the videos and ads can be uploaded, downloaded, edited and stored for transmission that converts into a scene line.
