[0015] Implementations described herein enable, facilitate, and manage dynamic artificial intelligence searching and display. Implementations use artificial intelligence (Al) to search for information about a media item such as a move or television show that a user is currently watching. The Al automatically finds related content about the media item, such as actors, directors, producers, etc. as well as additional media items associated with the current media item that user is watching.

[0016] In some implementations, a system detects that a media item is being presented on a media device. The system further generates media information associated with themedia item while the media item is being presented on the media device. The system further provides the media information to the user of the media device.

[0017] Although implementations disclosed herein is described in the context of movies and television shows, the implementations may also apply to other types of media items such a music, commercial, advertisements, etc.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an example media environment 100, which may be used for some implementations described herein. In some implementations, media environment 100 includes a system 102, which included artificial intelligence for executing implementations described herein. Media environment 100 also includes a television 104. While some implementations are described herein in the context of a television, these implementations and others apply to different types of media devices such as smartphones, computers, tablets, etc. Also shown are speakers 106, 108, 110, and 112, which provide sound from television 104.

[0019] As described in more detail herein, television 104 presents media items such as movies, television shows, music, etc. System 102 provides media information 114 to a user 116 watching a media item that is being presented on television 104.

[0020] In various implementations, system 102 may present the media information on the main screen of television 104, on a secondary screen, or on an augmented screen if the user is watching the media item through mixed reality glasses. The Al of system 102 may also discover all possible secondary screens that are connected to the media environment as potential screens for presenting the media information. In various implementations, the Al of system 102 queries devices in the media environment to discover which ones are capable of displaying media information, as well as their location relative to the person requesting information. This enables convenient viewing of the media information by the user. In various implementations, the Al may ask the user which display device is desirable for presenting the media information. In variousimplementations, system 102 may enable the user to set ahead of time which display device to use for presenting media information. In some implementations, system 102 may alternatively present media information to the user non-visually. For example, system 102 may utilize voice to convey media information to the user. In some implementations, system 102 may utilize voice in lieu of or in combination with visual media information. Implementations directed to media information 114 are described in more detail herein.

[0021] In the example shown, system 102 is separate from television 104. In various implementations, system 102 may be located in various optional places. For example, system 102 may reside or be integrated into television 104 or in another media device such as a smart phone, computer, tablet, medial controller, etc. If system 102 is separate from television 104 as shown, system 102 may communicate with television 104 via a suitable network, which may be any suitable communication network such as a Bluetooth network, a Wi-Fi network, the Internet, Bluetooth, ZigBee, ultra-wideband wireless technology (UWB) network, near-field communication (NFC) network, etc.

The media information may include a category of the media item (e.g., movie, television show, etc.). The media information may include a genre (e.g., drama, action, etc.) and a rating associated with the media item.

[0036] As shown, the media information may include an image 402 representing themedia item, a media item description 402, related media item information 406, and media item analyses 408. Image 402 may include an image or poster image that represents the media item. The media item description 404 may include a synopsis of the story of the media item and other associated information. The related media item information 406 may include spin-off television shows, spin-off movies, sequels, or other productions associated with the media item. Example implementations directed to media item analyses 408 is described in more detail below.

[0037] In various implementations, the media information may include people information about people associated with a creation of the media item. In various implementations, the Al of system 202 automatically recognizes the cast and characters of the current show. As such, people information may include actors, directors, writers, and / or other people who contributed to the creation of the media item associated with the media item. Such people information may be included with the media item description 404 and / or the media item analyses 408.

[0038] In various implementations, the media information may include content information about content associated with the media item. Such content information may include story, plot, or other information associated with the media item. Such people information may be included with the media item description.

[0039] In various implementations, the Al of system 202 performs the search for media information based on content associated with the media item, where the content is currently being presented on the media device. In various implementations, the Al of system 202 builds databases for individual movies, individual television shows and / or series, individual television seasons, etc. The Al may store such database(s) locally in database 208, for example, and / or in the cloud.

[0040] In various implementations, the Al of system 202 may share databases withother Al’s, as permitted by the user. The Al of system 202 may retrieve other media information from other databases to create series or story arc synopsis for a particular television season and / or a complete television series.

[0041] In various implementations, the Al of system 202 displays the media information to the user, where the media information is displayed based on content that is currently being presented on the media device. Such media information may be presented with the media item description 404, with related media item information 406, and / or with the media item analyses 408.

[0042] In various implementations, the Al of system 202 performs an analysis of the media information while the media item is being presented to a user. In various embodiments, while the user is watching television 204, the Al of system 202 automatically analyzes the current media content being presented on television 204. The Al recognizes the media item (e.g., title of the movie, television show, etc.) and determines information about the creators of media item such as the cast, the director, the writer, etc. The Al also determines information about the content such as the characters, the story, etc. As such, the media item analyses may include story analyses (e.g., plot points, etc.) and character analyses.

[0043] In various implementations, the Al system 202 accesses this media information from local database 208 and / or fetches this media information from web servers across the internet based on the recognized information. The Al may also determine other information associated with the media content such as when the media content is available to be shown, future episodes of a television series, etc.

[0044] In various implementations, the Al of system 202 performs a scene analysis for each scene currently being presented on television 204 in real time. The Al of system 202 builds one or more databases and stores such analyses of the scenes. In various implementations, the Al of system 202 automatically and dynamically updates the mediainformation as scenes change on television 204. The Al of system 202 captures the current scene and analyzes faces to understand which actors are present. For example, the Al may determine that a character John Smith was allegedly killed in episode 301, but later reappeared in episode 402. In some implementations, if the user asks for no plot spoilers, the Al may respond that the character John Smith died in episode 301, and not provide such information about episode 402. The Al of system 202 may also identify other movies or television shows that particular actors were in and the characters they played.

[0045] The Al of system 202 may analyze scenes from scene to scene as characters come and go, system 202 may inform the user in real time who the character on the screen are, as well as what actors are playing the characters. The Al of system 202 may perform character analyses for each character scene by scene. In some implementations, system may also provide media information associated with any commercials and / or advertising that is being presented during a given time on television 204.

[0046] In various implementations, the Al of system 202 enables the user to ask the Al to search for particular information associated with the media item (e.g., who the lead actors are, who the support actors are, questions about the story or narrative, etc.). The Al of system 202 may then fetch such media information from the local database or the internet.

[0047] In various implementations, the Al of system 202 builds a profile of the user, where the profile includes queries or questions that the user asks. As such, the Al of system 202 may automatically without user intervention build databases and provide similar search results for future media items that the user watches. As such, the media information provided by the Al of system 202 to the user is automatically tailored to the user.

[0048] The following are other implementations. In various implementations, the Al ofsystem 202 may summarize what happened in previously watched portions of content. The Al of system 202 may provide information or statistics about sports or other events in real time or as queried by the user. The Al of system 202 may explain the content to the user, more than merely summarizing. For example, the Al of system 202 may explain possible motivations of a certain character. The Al of system 202 may monitor information about some system that is displayed on a screen, for example, monitoring pressure of a piping system. The Al of system 202 may provide a performance analysis of videogame gameplay.

[0049] Implementations described herein provide various benefits. For example, implementations provide a user with useful media information about media items such as movies, television shows, etc. Implementations described herein also provide media information that is relevant to the media item content that the user is currently watching.
