Providing interactive multimedia services

A system comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor including:
• a multimedia processing element for selecting a multimedia program having a plurality of segments for presentation;
• classifying the plurality of segments according to associated content;
• generating and populating a data entry database via respective data entry templates retrieved based on the classification of the plurality of segments;
• generating a data stream via the data entry database, wherein a timing of the data stream is configured to coincide with a timing of the plurality of segments upon presentation by a multimedia system;
• generating at least one query grammar, wherein the at least one query grammar interprets commands to access content in the data stream;
• simultaneously transmitting the content associated with at least one of the plurality of segments, one or more of the at least one query grammar, and the data stream to the multimedia system;
• and determining whether a detected input query is a valid input according to the at least one query grammar.
