Abstract
Methods, systems, and media for determining a response to be generated in an environment are provided. The methods, systems, and media monitor the environment for a voice activity of an individual. The voice activity of the individual is detected and analyzed. A content descriptor of the voice activity is determined based on the voice activity of the individual. A demographic descriptor of the individual is determined based on the voice activity of the individual. The content descriptor, the demographic descriptor, and known information are correlated to determine the response to be generated in the environment.
Claims20
A method of determining a response to be generated in an environment, the method comprising:
- monitoring the environment for a voice activity of an individual;
- detecting the voice activity of the individual;
- correlating, with a processor, the voice activity of the individual and known information of the environment, the known information corresponding to media content that is provided in the environment;
- determining, with the processor and based on a correlation of the voice activity of the individual and the known information of the environment, a content descriptor of the voice activity;
- determining, with the processor and based on the voice activity of the individual, a demographic descriptor of the individual;
- and
- correlating, with the processor, the content descriptor and the demographic descriptor to determine the response to be generated in the environment.
A system for determining a response to be generated in an environment, the system comprising:
- a processor that detects a voice activity of an individual;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
- correlating the voice activity of the individual and known information of the environment, the known information corresponding to media content that is provided in the environment;
- determining, based on a correlation of the voice activity of the individual and the known information of the environment, a content descriptor of the voice activity;
- determining, based on the voice activity of the individual, a demographic descriptor of the individual;
- and
- correlating the content descriptor and the demographic descriptor to determine the response to be generated in the environment.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having an executable computer program for determining a response to be generated in an environment that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
- monitoring the environment for a voice activity of an individual;
- detecting the voice activity of the individual;
- correlating the voice activity of the individual and known information of the environment, the known information corresponding to media content that is provided in the environment;
- determining, based on a correlation of the voice activity of the individual and the known information of the environment, a content descriptor of the voice activity;
- determining, based on the voice activity of the individual, a demographic descriptor of the individual;
- and
- correlating the content descriptor and the demographic descriptor to determine the response to be generated in the environment.
