Abstract

Methods and systems are described for providing content, such as a movie, with dialogue including a quotation that was input. For example, using a voice search a viewer may input a quotation famous from a movie to find the original fil and related content. The methods and systems use a quotation engine in a digital device to receive an input including the quotation and access a plurality of content items that include dialogue. The quotation engine identifies a subset of content items that include dialogue similar to the input quotation. The quotation engine accesses metadata of each of the subset of content, ranks the subset based on predetermined criteria and the metadata, and provides the ranked subset of the plurality of content items for consumption. The quotation engine may use a graphical user interface to identify the earliest release, trending content, or the program best known for the quote.

1. A method to provide content with dialogue including a quotation, the method comprising:

receiving an input, the input including the quotation;

accessing a plurality of content items, each content item including dialogue;

causing to be provided for simultaneous display user interface elements for each of the second subset of content items with a description for each corresponding predetermined criterion.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the causing to be provided for simultaneous display further comprises generating a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface providing the second subset of content items and the description indicating the corresponding predetermined criteria for each.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying is based on metadata comprising closed captions or lyrics.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input is received as a voice input.

cause to be provided for simultaneous display user interface elements for each of the second subset of content items with a description for each corresponding predetermined criterion.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to cause to be provided for simultaneous display further comprises by generating a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface providing the second subset of content items and the description indicating the corresponding predetermined criteria for each.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the identifying is based on metadata comprising closed captions or lyrics.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the input/output circuitry is further configured to receive the input as a voice input.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the trending use criteria includes appearances of the quotation in social media.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the trending use criteria includes appearances of the content in social media.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined criteria includes latest release.
