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 (29)

1. A system for targeted content analysis, comprising:

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

wherein the at least one device is operable to receive a live broadcast and/or stream audio and video content, and extract captions of the live broadcast and/or the audio and video content in real time;

wherein the server platform is operable to receive extracted captions from the at least one device, search the extracted captions for at least one keyword relating to targeted content, thereby creating search result data, harvest social media data relevant to the targeted content for a predetermined period of time from the Internet, and calculate an impact of the targeted content by correlating the search result data with the social media data; and

wherein the server platform is a peer-to-peer platform.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server platform is cloud-based.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the peer-to-peer platform is operable to record the extracted captions on a blockchain.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server platform is further operable to extract audio and video segments relevant to the targeted content from the audio and video content, and transmit the audio and video segments to the at least one device.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the at least one device is further operable to share the audio and video segments on at least one sharing platform including iTunes, Twitter, Facebook, and/or other social media or digital media platforms.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the server platform is further operable to receive feedback and/or a rating of the audio and video segments shared on the at least one sharing platform, and analyze the targeted content based on the feedback and/or the rating in correlation with the search result data and the social media data.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server platform is further operable to identify at least one social media tag relevant to the at least one keyword for the targeted content, wherein the at least one social media tag comprises at least one hashtag relevant to the at least one keyword for the targeted content.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server platform is operable to harvest the social media data in a predetermined geographic area.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server platform is operable to harvest the social media data from at least one social media site or at least one social media application including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and/or other web-based sites or applications for groups.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server platform is further operable to determine the impact of the targeted content in real time or near real time.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one device comprises a graphical user interface operable to display and facilitate comparisons between the search result data and the social media data.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server platform is operable to authorize and authenticate the at least one device.

13. A system for targeted content analysis, comprising:

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

wherein the at least one device is operable to extract captions of audio or video;

wherein the computing platform is operable to receive extracted captions from the at least one device, search the extracted captions for a targeted content based on user profile and preferences, thereby creating search result data, harvest social media data relevant to the targeted content for a predetermined time period, and calculate an impact of the targeted content based on the social media data correlated in time with the search result data; and

wherein the computing platform is a distributed and decentralized platform on a blockchain, and wherein the extracted captions are recorded on the blockchain.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the computing platform is cloud-based.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the computing platform is further operable to extract audio or video segments relevant to the targeted content, deliver at least one alert regarding extracted audio or video segments to the at least one device, and format the extracted captions to a more human readable text in free-form format.

16. A system for determining the effectiveness of an advertisement campaign, comprising:

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

wherein the computing platform is a blockchain platform;

wherein the at least one device is configured to extract captions of at least one audio or video related to the advertisement campaign; and

wherein the computing platform is configured to receive extracted captions from the at least one device, search the extracted captions for at least one keyword related to the advertisement campaign, thereby creating search result data, monitoring social media activities related to the advertisement campaign, thereby creating social media data, and determine an effectiveness of the advertisement campaign based on the social media data correlated with the search result data.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the computing platform is further operable to generate at least one advertisement tag code (ATC) for the advertisement campaign, mark the at least one audio or video related to the advertisement campaign with the at least one ATC, and extract audio or video segments from the at least one audio or video related to the advertisement campaign.
