Abstract

System and methods for finding and analyzing targeted content from audio and video content sources, including means and methods for extracting captions from audio and video content sources; searching the captions for a mention of at least one target; extracting audio and video segments relating to the at least one target; delivering extracted audio and video segments to a user device; harvesting social media data relevant to the at least one target; analyzing the search results in correlation with the social media data for target content.

Claims (44)

1. A system for targeted content analysis, comprising:

a server platform constructed and configured for network communication with at least one device;

wherein the at least one device is operable to receive a live broadcast and/or stream audio or video content;

wherein the at least one device and/or the server platform is operable to extract captions of speech or voice from the live broadcast and/or the audio or video content in real time or near real time;

wherein the server platform is operable to automatically translate a foreign language script from an image displayed in a video into the selected language;

wherein the server platform is operable to display a caption stream on a display device, wherein the caption stream includes the extracted captions and the translated foreign language script from the image displayed in the video; and

wherein the server platform is operable to search the extracted captions for at least one keyword relating to targeted content, thereby creating search result data, and calculate an impact of the targeted content by correlating the search result data with data obtained from the Internet;

wherein the server platform is operable to provide real-time feedback to a broadcaster of the live broadcast about usage of the at least one keyword on social media;

wherein the server platform is operable to provide real-time analysis of social media engagement metrics from text-based commentary for broadcast content; and

wherein the live broadcast and/or the audio or video content includes a media report, and wherein the server platform is operable to determine an automated rating of trustfulness of the media report in real time or near real time as content is transmitted to the at least one device, based on comparisons of content of the extracted captions to one or more independent external sources; and

wherein the automated rating of trustfulness is based on a verification of the timeline associated with the content.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data obtained from the Internet includes social media data.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data obtained from the Internet includes web site traffic.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server platform includes a peer-to-peer platform.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server platform and/or the at least one device is operable to extract segments of the live broadcast and/or the audio or video content based on the at least one keyword relating to targeted content.

6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a summarizer operable to provide a summary of the live broadcast and/or the audio or video content based on the extracted captions.

7. A system for targeted content analysis, comprising:

a server platform constructed and configured for network communication with at least one device;

wherein the at least one device is operable to receive a live broadcast and/or stream audio or video content;

wherein the at least one device and/or the server platform is operable to extract captions of the live broadcast and/or the audio or video content;

wherein the at least one device and/or the server platform is operable to add an advertisement tag code (ATC) including a plurality of information associated with the extracted captions, the live broadcast, and/or the audio or video content; and

wherein the live broadcast and/or the audio or video content includes a media report, and wherein the server platform is operable to determine an automated rating of trustfulness of the media report in real time or near real time as content is transmitted to the at least one device, based on comparisons of content of the extracted captions to one or more independent external sources, wherein the content includes a verified timeline associated with the content.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the server platform is operable to search the extracted captions for at least one keyword, thereby creating search result data, and calculate an impact of the targeted content by correlating the search result data with data obtained from the Internet.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the server platform is operable to generate an alert based on at least one keyword, wherein the alert includes or links to an identification of the live broadcast and/or the audio or video content.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the server platform is operable to extract segments of the live broadcast and/or the audio or video content based on at least one keyword relating to the targeted content.

11. The system of claim 7 , further comprising a summarizer operable to provide a summary of the live broadcast and/or the audio or video content based on the extracted captions.

12. A system for targeted content analysis, comprising:

a server platform constructed and configured for network communication with at least one device;

wherein the at least one device is operable to receive a live broadcast;

wherein the at least one device and/or the server platform is operable to extract captions of the live broadcast;

wherein the at least one device and/or the server platform is operable to search the extracted captions for a targeted content based on user profile and preferences;

wherein the at least one device and/or the server platform is operable to generate an alert based on the targeted content;

wherein the live broadcast includes a media report, and wherein the server platform is operable to determine an automated rating of trustfulness of the media report, based on comparisons of content of the extracted captions to one or more external sources;

wherein the server platform is operable to provide real-time feedback to a broadcaster of the live broadcast about usage of at least one keyword of the targeted content on social media;

wherein the server platform is operable to provide real-time analysis of social media engagement metrics from text-based commentary for broadcast content; and

wherein the live broadcast and/or the audio or video content includes a media report, and wherein the server platform is operable to determine an automated rating of trustfulness of the media report as content is transmitted to the at least one device, based on comparisons of content of the extracted captions to one or more independent external sources, wherein the content includes a verified timeline associated with the content.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the server platform includes a distributed and decentralized platform on a blockchain, and wherein the extracted captions are recorded on the blockchain.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the server platform and/or the at least one device is operable to extract segments of the live broadcast transmitted to at least one device based on at least one keyword relating to the targeted content.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the server platform is operable to generate at least one advertisement tag code (ATC), mark the live broadcast with the at least one ATC, and extract audio or video segments from the live broadcast transmitted to at least one device.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the server platform is operable to calculate an impact of the targeted content by correlating the search result data with data obtained from the Internet.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the data obtained from the Internet includes social media data.

18. The system of claim 7 , wherein the server platform is operable to automatically translate the live broadcast content.

19. The system of claim 12 , wherein the server platform is operable to assemble segments of the live broadcast transmitted to at least one device and segments of other audio content or other video content into a single segment.

20. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server platform is configured to receive feedback for and a rating of a segment or a group of segments of the audio content or the video content via social media.
