Ignoring trigger words in streamed media content

A system for ignoring trigger words in streamed media content, comprising:

• a processor and a memory configured to provide computer program instructions to the processor to execute the function of the components;
• a media stream accessing component configured to access a buffered media stream of media content in advance of playing the media stream;
• a trigger word identifying component configured to identify one or more trigger words in the buffered media stream;
• a time stamping component configured to generate a time stamp for each of the one or more identified trigger words in relation to a play time of the media content of the buffered media stream;
• and
• an instructing component configured to instruct, a predetermined time prior to playing the media content, a voice command device to ignore audio content of the buffered media stream based on the time stamp for each of the one or more identified trigger words while the buffered media stream is played.

A computer program product for ignoring trigger words in streamed media content, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• accessing a buffered media stream of media content in advance of playing the media stream;
• identifying one or more trigger words in the media content of the buffered media stream by converting audio content of the buffered media stream to text and comparing the text of the buffered media stream to a table of known trigger words stored in a voice command device using natural language processing;
• generating a time stamp for each of the one or more identified trigger words in relation to a play time of the media content of the buffered media stream;
• and
• instructing the voice command device to ignore, a predetermined time prior to playing the media content, audio content of the buffered media stream based on the time stamp for each of the one or more identified trigger words while the buffered media stream is played.
