Abstract

Systems and methods for handling a query comprising a media quote are provided. One example method includes receiving, at a computing device, an input comprising a query. A media quote is identified based on the query. A media asset is identified based on the identified media quote. An action is performed at the computing device, the action based on the identified media asset.

Claims (50)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, at a computing device, a query comprising a media quote,

identifying, from the query, the media quote;

generating a hash of the media quote from the query;

identifying a media asset title associated with the hash of the media quote from a database of media assets;

retrieving, from the database of media assets, a media asset associated with the media asset title, wherein the database of media assets comprises unique hashes of media quotes corresponding to their media asset titles; and

presenting the media asset associated with the media asset title.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying, from the query, the media quote comprises:

determining any phonetic and/or lexical variants of the quote; and

identifying media asset titles associated with the variants of the quote.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

splitting the variants of the quote into one or more segments;

generating a hash for each segment; and

searching these hashes in the database of media assets to identify the corresponding media asset.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that the query does not include the media quote; and

presenting a notification that indicates an input of a media quote is required.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the determining that the query does not include the media quote comprises:

determining words which are common between the query and a plurality of media asset titles;

retrieving, from a database of media assets, media assets associated with the plurality of media asset titles; and

presenting the media assets associated with the plurality of media asset titles.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving user input selecting the presented media asset; and

outputting the selected media asset on the computing device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input received is a tactile input.

8. A system comprising control circuitry configured to:

receive a query comprising a media quote,

identify, from the query, the media quote;

generate a hash of the media quote from the query;

identify a media asset title associated with the hash of the media quote from a database of media assets;

retrieve, from the database of media assets, a media asset associated with the media asset title, wherein the database of media assets comprises unique hashes of media quotes corresponding to their media asset titles; and

present the media asset associated with the media asset title.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein control circuitry is configured to:

determine any phonetic and/or lexical variants of the quote; and

identify media asset titles associated with the variants of the quote to identify, from the query, the media quote.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein control circuitry is configured to:

split the variants of the quote into one or more segments;

generate a hash for each segment; and

search these hashes in the database of media assets to identify the corresponding media asset.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein control circuitry is configured to:

determine that the query does not include the media quote; and

present a notification that indicates an input of a media quote is required.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein, when determining that the query does not include the media quote, control circuitry is configured to:

determine words which are common between the query and a plurality of media asset titles;

retrieve, from a database of media assets, media assets associated with the plurality of media asset titles; and

present the media assets associated with the plurality of media asset titles.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein control circuitry is configured to:

receive user input selecting the presented media asset; and

output the selected media asset on the computing device.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the input received is a tactile input.
