Association of a social message with a related multimedia flow

A correlation device for an association of a social network message written by a user in a social device with a related multimedia flow received by a broadcast receiver device, the correlation device being able to communicate with the social device and the broadcast receiver device:

• means for detecting the presence of the broadcast receiver device receiving a multimedia flow in the same location as the social device,
• means for extracting social keywords from a social message written by the user,
• means for requesting the broadcast receiver device for metadata about the received multimedia flow and extracting multimedia keywords from the metadata of the multimedia flow,
• means for providing a correlation coefficient as a result of a probabilistic measure between the multimedia keywords and the social keywords,
• means for retrieving an identifier of a social network thread associated with the multimedia flow,
• means for adding the retrieved identifier to the text of the social message, if the correlation coefficient is greater than a first predefined threshold.

A computer program capable of being implemented within a correlation device for an association of a social network message written by a user in a social device with a related multimedia flow received by a broadcast receiver device, the correlation device being able to communicate with the social device and the broadcast receiver device, said program comprising instructions which, when the program is loaded and executed within said device, carry out the following steps:

• detecting the presence of the broadcast receiver device receiving a multimedia flow in the same location as the social device,
• extracting social keywords from a social message written by the user,
• requesting the broadcast receiver device for metadata about the received multimedia flow and extracting multimedia keywords from the metadata of the multimedia flow,
• providing a correlation coefficient as a result of a probabilistic measure between the multimedia keywords and the social keywords,
• retrieving an identifier of a social network thread associated with the multimedia flow,
• if the correlation coefficient is greater than a first predefined threshold, adding the retrieved identifier to the text of the social message.
