SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING CONTEXT IN SELECTING A RESPONSE TO USER DEVICE INTERACTION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, via at least one processing unit, a context of content being output by a device;
determining, via the at least one processing unit, at least one other context;
detecting, via the at least one processing unit, user interaction with the device, the user interaction associated with selected content output by the device;
using, via the at least one processing unit, the context of the content and the at least one other context to make a determination whether or not to respond to the user interaction with a menu comprising a plurality of user-selectable options, the plurality of user-selectable options comprising at least one search option selectable to perform a search using the selected content; and
instructing, via the at least one processing unit, the device to output a response to the user interaction that is based on the determination.

Abstract
A system, method and architecture of using context in determining a response to user interaction with a device, such context may be context of content being output by the device, the device'"'"'s context, the user'"'"'s content, or some combination of contexts. In accordance with one or more embodiments, a response may comprise a menu the content of which, e.g., one or more user-selectable actions or options, can be determined based on a determined context, or contexts, or a determination may be made to provide a response other than an option menu, which determination may be made based on a determined context or combination of contexts. As yet another alternative, a determination may be made to provide a response that includes a menu, the content of which is determined based on one or more determined contexts, and another response, such as an answer identified based on one or more determined contexts.

17. A system comprising:
at least one computing device comprising one or more processors to execute and memory to store instructions to; determine a context of content being output by a device; determine at least one other context; detect user interaction with the device, the user interaction associated with selected content output by the device; use the context of the content and the at least one other context to make a determination whether or not to respond to the user interaction with a menu comprising a plurality of user-selectable options, the plurality of user-selectable options comprising at least one search option selectable to perform a search using the selected content; and instruct the device to output a response to the user interaction that is based on the determination. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A computer readable non-transitory storage medium for tangibly storing thereon computer readable instructions that when executed cause at least one processor to:
-
determine a context of content being output by a device; determine at least one other context; detect user interaction with the device, the user interaction associated with selected content output by the device; use the context of the content and the at least one other context to make a determination whether or not to respond to the user interaction with a menu comprising a plurality of user-selectable options, the plurality of user-selectable options comprising at least one search option selectable to perform a search using the selected content; and instruct the device to output a response to the user interaction that is based on the determination. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)
