System and method for processing flagged words or phrases in audible communications
A system and method adapted to allow a user to be automatically presented with digitally available content related to words spoken or heard by a user. The system and method for processing flagged words in audible communications is operative to analyze the content in an audible communication, as well as stress levels associated with different segments of the conversation, in order to flag key words and/or phrases and associate the flagged words and/or phrases with relevant digital content, which may be provided in the form of web links, advertising offers, and even warnings to the communications to be delivered with the audible communication. Thus, the system and method for processing flagged words in audible communications in operation enables a user to receive actionable information and/or advertisements relevant to a user's conversations or media heard (and/or viewed) in real time.
1. A method for processing flagged words in audible communications, comprising the steps of:
designating at least one key word, defined as a single word or combination of words, wherein the step of designating includes linking each key word with categorical or specified digitally available information;
detecting by a host machine an audible communication containing at least one word;
generating a transcription of at least a portion of the detected audible communication so as to produce an input derived from the detected audible communication;
analyzing the input derived from the detected audible communication, wherein the step of analyzing includes at least automatically highlighting all key words in the transcription of the detected audible communication;
retrieving the categorical or specified digitally available information which was linked to at least one of the key words highlighted in the step of analyzing; and
providing by said host machine the retrieved digitally available information, along with the key word to which the retrieved digitally available information was linked, so as to automatically present information that has been retrieved and is related to content in the input derived from the detected audible communication.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of analyzing additionally includes examining the detected audible communication for stress levels.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the step of retrieving is additionally based on stress level information.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the step of generating is defined by extracting available closed caption information.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of analyzing additionally includes examining user profile information related to a user associated with the host machine.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the step of retrieving is additionally based on user profile information.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of generating is defined by at least one of the translation of words and phrases in the audible communication into text and extracting available closed caption information.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of providing is defined by displaying the retrieved digitally available information along with the key word to which the retrieved digitally available information was linked on a display screen integral with the host machine.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of providing is defined by playing an audible message including the retrieved digitally available information along with the key word to which the retrieved digitally available information was linked on the host machine.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of generating is performed by the host machine.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of analyzing is performed by the host machine.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of retrieving is performed by the host machine.
13. The method of claim 1 , additional comprising the step of providing a remote processing machine operatively connected to said host machine, wherein the step of generating is performed by the remote processing machine.
14. The method of claim 1 , additional comprising the step of providing a remote processing machine operatively connected to said host machine, wherein the step of analyzing is performed by the remote processing machine.
15. The method of claim 1 , additional comprising the step of providing a remote processing machine operatively connected to said host machine, wherein the step of retrieving is performed by the remote processing machine.
16. A method for processing flagged words in audible communications, comprising the steps of:
designating at least one key word, defined as a single word or combination of words, wherein the step of designating includes linking each key word with categorical or specified digitally available information;
facilitating by a host machine an audible communication containing at least one word;
generating a transcription of at least a portion of the facilitated audible communication so as to produce an input derived from the detected audible communication;
analyzing the input derived from the detected audible communication, wherein the step of analyzing includes at least automatically highlighting all key words in the transcription of the facilitated audible communication, examining the facilitated audible communication for stress levels, and examining user profile information related to a user associated with the host machine;
in response to the step of analyzing, retrieving the categorical or specified digitally available information which was linked to at least the key words highlighted in the step of analyzing, stress level information and user profile information; and
providing by said host machine the retrieved digitally available information, along with the key word to which the retrieved digitally available information was linked, so as to automatically present information that has been retrieved and is related to content in the input derived from the detected audible communication.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the user profile information includes at least the location of the host machine and retrieved categorical or specified digitally available information is specified to the location of the host machine.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the step of providing is defined by displaying the retrieved digitally available information along with the key word to which the retrieved digitally available information was linked on a display screen integral with the host machine.
19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the step of providing is defined by playing an audible message including the retrieved digitally available information along with the key word to which the retrieved digitally available information was linked on the host machine.
20. The method of claim 16 , additional comprising the step of providing a remote processing machine operatively connected to said host machine, wherein at least one of the steps of generating, analyzing and retrieving is performed by the remote processing machine.
