Personalized content processing and delivery system and media
A personalized content system enables a user with a communications device to convert and/or passively receive pre-selected content from multiple resources. A communications device has hardware and software to provide input and transmission to convert content from any form of media. The converted content is created by retrieving a digital copy of a digital record associated with it, and processing the digital copy for at least a web-based personalized application. Conversion is based on input of a code such as a telephone number, server program address, and a set of and/or range of characters. The transmission is communicated to at least one server that recognizes the code, the originating telephone number associated with the communications device, the device identifier associated with the communications device, and combinations thereof. The server retrieves a digital record and processes content and outputs based on user input, a user and/or program profile, and combinations thereof.
1. A system comprising:
a media appliance for receiving content, said media appliance being selected from the group consisting of a television media appliance, a radio media appliance, a web media appliance, and a networked media appliance; and
an interface including at least one processor configured to receive at least one input associated with the content received by the media appliance and to execute a program configured to:
search for a profile associated with said input in a profile database, wherein a profile is found in the profile database if there is a match between the input and information stored in the profile database,
form at least one collection of related content based on said input in response to said searching for a profile resulting in no profile being found, or based on said input and said profile in response to said searching for a profile resulting in a profile being found, wherein said collection of related content formed by said program includes at least a portion of the content that is received by said media appliance,
process said profile to execute instructions for handling preferences associated with said related content in response to said searching for a profile resulting in a profile being found, wherein said instructions include instructions for retrieving a designated digital media version of said related content, and
manage distribution of said collection of related content to multiple destinations that include at least one destination different from said media appliance, wherein said distribution is based at least in part on at least one profile preference that is included in said profile.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein managing said distribution includes communicating with a device comprising at least one of: a cell phone, a messaging device, a smartphone, a PDA, a networked display, a server, or a second media appliance.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein managing said distribution includes providing an activation that comprises at least one of: at least one program activation, at least one device activation, at least one media appliance activation, or at least one server activation.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein said activation activates at least one of: a sensory output, an alarm output, or a mechanized output.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein said sensory output comprises at least one of: an audible output, or a visual output.
6. The system of claim 4 , wherein said sensory output comprises at least one of: a vibratory output, or an olfactory output.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the input is generated based on interaction with a user after the media appliance presents the received content.
8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising: at least one communication device configured to initiate said distribution of related content based on the input including at least one code associated with said related content.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein said code is associated with said related content as a content identifier that is configured to identify said related content.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein said program is configured to capture said communication device's location coordinates and search for at least one profile preference that is included in said profile associated with at least one of: a location in proximity to said location coordinates, or said code associated with said related content.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein said location coordinates comprise GPS coordinates.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein said processing of said profile includes performing at least one of: a retrieval function, an output function, an interactive session with at least one user, or an interactive session with at least one user community.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein said processing of said profile includes performing said interactive session with at least one user, and said interactive session includes at least one of: receiving user input through a communication device of said user, executing at least one program associated with a profile of said user, or executing at least one program associated with a media provider.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the user input comprises user voice input.
15. The system of claim 1 , wherein said profile includes content that is used in at least one search function, wherein said search function is based at least in part on prior search output comparisons with at least one of: user profile preference entries, community profile preference entries, or system profile update entries.
