Abstract
Contextual information is received, and a chosen event is identified based at least upon an analysis of the contextual information. A set of media assets is then identified based at least upon an analysis of the identified event. At least some of the contextual information is associated in a processor-accessible memory system with the chosen event, at least one asset in the set of media assets, or both the chosen event and at least one asset in the set of media assets. By using an event to identify media assets to which contextual information is associated, fewer and more relevant media assets may be retrieved and annotated as compared to conventional techniques.
Claims20
A method implemented at least in part by a data processing system, the method for identifying media assets that are potentially relevant to contextual information, and the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving the contextual information;
- identifying a chosen event based at least upon an analysis of the contextual information;
- identifying a set of media assets based at least upon an analysis of the identified event;
- and
- associating, in a processor-accessible memory system, at least some of the contextual information with the chosen event, at least one asset in the set of media assets, or both the chosen event and at least one asset in the set of media assets.
A processor-accessible memory system storing instructions configured to cause a data processing system to implement a method for identifying media assets that are potentially relevant to contextual information, wherein the instructions comprise:
- instructions for receiving the contextual information;
- instructions for identifying a chosen event based at least upon an analysis of the contextual information;
- instructions for identifying a set of media assets based at least upon an analysis of the identified event;
- and
- instructions for associating, in a processor-accessible memory system, at least some of the contextual information with the chosen event, at least one asset in the set of media assets, or both the chosen event and at least one asset in the set of media assets.
A system comprising:
- a data processing system;
- and
- a memory system communicatively connected to the data processing system and storing instructions configured to cause the data processing system to implement a method for identifying media assets that are potentially relevant to contextual information, wherein the instructions comprise:
- instructions for receiving the contextual information;
- instructions for identifying a chosen event based at least upon an analysis of the contextual information;
- instructions for identifying a set of media assets based at least upon an analysis of the identified event;
- and
- instructions for associating, in the processor-accessible memory system, at least some of the contextual information with the chosen event, at least one asset in the set of media assets, or both the chosen event and at least one asset in the set of media assets.
