Abstract
A particular method includes extracting, at a computing device, uniform resource locator data from closed-captioning content. The method further includes receiving, at the computing device, user settings via a network interface. The user settings include an organizational preference corresponding to the uniform resource locator data. The method also includes generating, at the computing device, a web page that includes a portion of the uniform resource locator data as selectable links. The selectable links are organized according to the organizational preference.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a first processor of a first device, media content from equipment of a service provider, wherein the media content includes closed-captioning content;
- extracting, at the first processor, a uniform resource locator from the closed-captioning content;
- storing, at the first device, the uniform resource locator as a portion of stored uniform resource locator data;
- receiving, at the first device and from a second device, a user setting related to an organization preference, the organization preference indicating a date order, a subject matter order, an alphabetical order, or a combination thereof;
- receiving, at the first device and from the second device, a request to access the stored uniform resource locator data;
- responsive to receiving the request from the second device, generating, at a second processor of the first device, the second processor distinct from the first processor, a web page including selectable links of uniform resource locators retrieved from the stored uniform resource locator data, the selectable links arranged in the web page in an order specified by the organization preference related to the user setting;
- and
- sending, to the second device, data representing the web page, the data including the uniform resource locators.
A system comprising:
- a first processor of a first device to receive media content from equipment of a service provider, to extract a uniform resource locator from closed-captioning content of the media content, to store the uniform resource locator as a portion of stored uniform resource locator data;
- a second processor of the first device to generate, responsive to a receipt of a request to access the stored uniform resource locator data from a second device, a web page including selectable links of uniform resource locators retrieved from the stored uniform resource locator data, the selectable links arranged in the web page in an order specified by an organization preference related to a user setting received from the second device, the organization preference indicating a date order, a subject matter order, an alphabetical order, or a combination thereof, and the second processor distinct from the first processor;
- a network interface;
- and
- a web server to receive the request from the second device via the network interface and to send, to the second device via the network interface, data representing the web page, the data including the uniform resource locators.
A computer-readable storage device storing first instructions that, when executed by a first processor of a first device, cause the first processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving media content from equipment of a service provider, wherein the media content includes closed-captioning content;
- extracting a uniform resource locator from the closed-captioning content;
- storing the uniform resource locator as a portion of stored uniform resource locator data;
- receiving, from a second device, a user setting related to an organization preference, the organization preference indicating a date order, a subject matter order, an alphabetical order, or a combination thereof;
- receiving, from the second device, a request to access the stored uniform resource locator data,
- wherein the computer-readable storage device stores second instructions that, when executed by a second processor of the first device, the second processor distinct from the first processor, cause the second processor to perform operations comprising:
- responsive to receiving the request from the second device, generating a web page including selectable links of uniform resource locators retrieved from the stored uniform resource locator data, the selectable links arranged in the web page in an order specified by the organization preference related to the user setting;
- and
- sending data representing the web page to the second device, the data including the uniform resource locators.
