Abstract
A method can include accessing a cookie file to obtain a keyword where the cookie file is associated with a media device and scanning a stream of media content to locate the keyword within a portion of the stream of media content. The method can include generating a filtered search set by applying filtering to additional words to exclude a black listed word, where the additional words are located within a pre-determined proximity to a location corresponding to an occurrence of the keyword within the portion of the stream of media content. The method can include providing a search result based on a network search conducted using the keyword and the filtered search set.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- storing, by a media receiver, a cookie file that identifies a keyword;
- presenting, by the media receiver, a portion of a stream of media content at a display device;
- receiving, by the media receiver over a network, search results;
- presenting, by the media receiver, the search results at the display device,
- wherein the search results are based on an Internet search conducted by a server using a filtered search set and the keyword that is obtained from the cookie file,
- wherein the server is remote from the media receiver, wherein the filtered search set comprises a plurality of words;
- generating, by the media receiver, the filtered search set by filtering out a black listed word from additional words that are located within a number of words from a location corresponding to an occurrence of the keyword within the portion of the stream of media content, wherein the keyword corresponds to a portion of a uniform resource locator;
- and
- creating, by the media receiver, the uniform resource locator for accessing a web site, using a word immediately preceding or immediately following the occurrence of the keyword within the portion of the stream of media content.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory accessible to the processor, the memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- accessing a cookie file from a media device via a network, wherein a keyword is obtained from the cookie file, and wherein the media device is remote from the processor;
- generating a filtered search set by filtering out a black listed word that is located within a number of words from a location corresponding to an occurrence of the keyword within a portion of a media content stream, wherein the filtered search set comprises a plurality of words, and wherein the keyword corresponds to a portion of a uniform resource locator;
- creating the uniform resource locator for accessing a web site, using a word immediately preceding or immediately following the occurrence of the keyword within the portion of the media content stream;
- and
- performing an Internet search based on the keyword and the filtered search set.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, responsive to being executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- accessing a cookie file to obtain a keyword, wherein the cookie file is associated with a media device, and wherein the processor is remote from the media device;
- scanning a stream of media content to locate the keyword within a portion of the stream of media content;
- generating a filtered search set by applying filtering to additional words to exclude a black listed word, wherein the filtered search set comprises a plurality of words, wherein the additional words are located within a pre-determined proximity to a location corresponding to an occurrence of the keyword within the portion of the stream of media content, and wherein the keyword corresponds to a portion of a uniform resource locator;
- creating the uniform resource locator for accessing a web site, using a word immediately preceding or immediately following the occurrence of the keyword within the portion of the stream of media content;
- and
- providing a search result based on an Internet search conducted using the keyword and the filtered search set.
