            Application 09/822,855                                                                          

        1       06. Thus Trumbull shows converting said show rundown into broadcast                         
        2             instructions that, when executed in a step-by-step manner in an event-                
        3             driven manner, enable the transmitting of commands.                                   
        4       07. All software is responsive to a manual trigger in that manual intervention              
        5             may always be employed.                                                               
        6       08. Further, Trumbull shows                                                                 
        7          The user 10 and operator 12 interact with the entertainment system 22                    
        8          through a User Interface 14 which is described in further detail                         
        9          hereinbelow.  The User Interface 14 receives input signals from the                      
       10          user 10 and operator 12 such as signals from a button, touch screen,                     
       11          signal transmitter or other equivalent device.                                           
       12          (Trumbull, col. 5, ll. 1-6).                                                             
       13       09. Trumbull’s user interface shows manual triggers of show execution by                    
       14             way of buttons, touch screens and signal transmitters.                                
       15       10. Thus, Trumbull shows converting said show rundown into broadcast                        
       16             instructions that, when executed in a step-by-step manner, responsive to              
       17             a manual trigger from the producer in an event-driven manner, enable                  
       18             the transmitting of commands.                                                         
       19       11. Trumbull shows                                                                          
       20          The Show Director System 38 thereby controls the intensity of each                       
       21          light source, as well as how each light source tilts, pans, focuses and                  
       22          mixes colors.  The Show Director System 38 synchronizes the                              
       23          operation of the light sources with the operation of the Giant Display                   
       24          Assembly 40 and the Audio Assembly 42, thereby enhancing the                             
       25          user's sensory stimulation.                                                              
       26          (Trumbull, col. 8, ll. 3-10).                                                            



                                                     6
