System and method for collaborative, peer-to-peer creation, management & synchronous, multi-platform distribution of profile-specified media objects

Abstract: In a television programming management system, contributors access television programming functionality of legacy systems using a web-based interface provided by a network operations center. The network operations center is a best-of-breed J2EE-based implementation that provides a middleware interface to legacy systems. Using the interface provided by the network operations center, contributors can access any functionality required to create and distribute television programming. The present invention provides security features through a classifier. User of playlists allows synchronization of created objects. Television programming can be performed by users and contributors.
