Abstract
A media asset may include date-related information. When viewed out of context it may be unclear what date is referenced by the date-related information. The media asset may be parsed to identify the date-related information within the media asset. The media asset may be analyzed to determine the context for the date related information. An absolute date may be determined based on this context and the date-related information and provided to the user with the media asset.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- causing the display of a media asset, wherein the display includes displaying a keyword and a date-related reference;
- determining, based on querying a source separate from the media asset and based on the keyword, a date of an upcoming event associated with the keyword;
- determining whether the date-related reference corresponds to the upcoming event associated with the keyword;
- and
- in response to determining that the date-related reference does not correspond to the upcoming event:
- replacing, in real time during display of the media asset, the date-related reference with an absolute date, wherein the absolute date corresponds to the upcoming event associated with the keyword;
- and
- modifying the display of the media asset to display the absolute date.
