Embodiment Construction

[0015] figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating a distributed system 100 implemented as part of an embodiment. Client-server system 100 includes: one or more client devices 102 , communication network 104 , server system 106 , display device 108 , and broadcast system 128 . Server system 106 is coupled to one or more client devices 102 and broadcast system 128 through communication network 104 .

[0016] The broadcast system 128 broadcasts the video stream to one or more client devices 102 . Server system 106 receives a request containing a set of information derived from the closed caption content, determines a set of instructions based on the set of information, and sends the set of instructions to client device 102 for execution. When executed by client device 102, the set of instructions causes client device 102 to display information related to a set of information extracted from closed captioning of a video stream.

[0017] According to some embodiments, a video or vi...

Abstract

A video stream including closed captions is received. A set of information is determined from the closed captions. A request including the set of information is sent to a server remotely located from the client for additional processing. A set of instructions is received from the server. The set of instructions is determined based on the additional processing of the set of information. One or more applications are executed in accordance with the set of instructions in response to receiving the set of instructions.

Description

technical field [0001] This description generally relates to providing information to users. Background technique [0002] Video content sometimes includes audible or visual messages prompting the viewer to take some action related to the content of the video. For example, a television commercial may prompt a user to visit the website of a product associated with the advertised product to obtain coupons or information about the product. In another example, during the broadcast of a television show or movie, a message may appear prompting the viewer to visit a website to see more people, places depicted in or associated with the television show or movie or information about things. Even without being prompted, many users are interested in people, places or things related to the video content they are watching. Typically, in order to obtain information related to a video stream, a user will need to use an Internet capable device to access a website. Existing methods are in...
