Abstract

Vocal commenting system and methods for recording and playing a voice message associated with a selected interne page. The system includes a voice-commenting-management module, operatively activated on a personal device of a user, the personal device having a microphone, and a vocal-commenting-services server. The server includes a processing unit, a database unit including a comments database. The vocal commenting methods include the step of posting a voice comment, using the microphone. Upon completion of the voice comment, the voice-commenting-management module sends the voice comment to the server. The vocal commenting method further includes the steps of receiving the recorded voice comment by the server, storing the recorded voice comment in a remote storage services proving unit, analyzing the recorded voice comment thereby generating metadata associated with the recorded voice comment, and storing the metadata of the comment in a comments database.

Claims

1. A voice-commenting system for facilitating direct vocal web pages commenting, comprising:

a) a remote server for storing, managing and processing comments,

wherein comments may be coupled to any internet page,

wherein new voice comments associated with an internet page may be directly posted by use of microphone, and

wherein previously recorded voice comments may be re-played from storage;

b) a voice-commenting-management module, executed on a personal device of a user;

c) a vocal-commenting-services server comprising;

i) a processing unit;

ii) a database unit including a comments database; and

iii) a remote storage services proving unit; and

d) a voice-commenting-management module comprising a voice recognition processing unit.

2. The vocal commenting system of claim 1, wherein said processing unit is a grid computing workflow management system, a server main-processing-unit, or combinations thereof.

3. The vocal commenting system of claim 1, further comprising an advertising platform.

4. A vocal commenting method for recording voice messages associated with a selected internet page, the method comprising the steps of:

a) posting a direct voice comment via a microphone of a personal device, having an activated voice-commenting-management module, wherein upon completion of said voice comment, the voice comment is stored and processed, sending a newly recorded voice comment to a vocal commenting services server by said voice-commenting-management module;

b) receiving said newly recorded voice comment by vocal commenting services server;

c) storing said newly recorded voice comment in a remote storage services proving unit;

d) analyzing said newly recorded voice comment thereby generating metadata associated with said newly recorded voice comment; and

e) storing said metadata of the comment in a comments database.

5. The vocal commenting method of claim 4, wherein said posting of a voice comment comprises the steps of:

a) activating said voice-commenting-management module, wherein said voice-commenting-management module activates said microphone of said personal device;

b) terminating voice recording by deactivating said microphone; and

c) sending said newly recorded voice comment to said vocal commenting server.

6. The vocal commenting method of claim 5, wherein said microphone is activated for a preconfigured time interval.

7. The vocal commenting method of claim 5, wherein said microphone is deactivated after a preconfigured silent time interval.

8. The vocal commenting method of claim 5, wherein the user enters textual data associated with said newly recorded voice comment.

9. The vocal commenting method of claim 8, wherein said textual data includes mandatory data, non mandatory data, or combinations thereof.

10. The vocal commenting method of claim 5, wherein the user flags a selected comment, and wherein said voice-commenting-management module sends the flag to said vocal-commenting-services server that records the flag with association to said selected voice comment.

11. A vocal commenting method for playing a voice message associated with a selected internet page, the method comprising the steps of:

a) selecting a recorded voice comment associated with a selected internet page; and

b) playing said selected recorded voice comment.

12. The vocal commenting method of claim 11, further comprising the step of recording a voice message associated with said played voice comment.

13. The vocal commenting method of claim 11, further including the step of voice recognition and classification indexing of voice comments stored in said comments database, thereby facilitating fast fetching by a target search engine.

14. The vocal commenting method of claim 13, wherein said indexing classification process is a cyclic process that is automatically activated every N minutes, said indexing classification process comprises the steps of:

a) selecting next said voice comments;

b) analyzing said voice comments to identify all data segments contained within said selected voice comments;

c) structuring an indexed record of said selected voice comments, using the identified data segments;

d) saving said indexed record in a respective indexed file in a remote storage services proving unit; and

e) repeating steps a)-d) for all voice comments in said comments database.

15. The vocal commenting method according to claim 14 further comprising the steps of:

a) sending an ad request, upon entering a URL address that facilitates recording of voice comments;

b) fetching user related data;

c) extracting ad categories and ad keywords;

d) fetching the most suitable ads that comply with the categories and keywords;

e) sending the fetched ads to the user; and

f) playing the ads on the personal device.

16. The vocal commenting method according to claim 15 wherein user related data comprises pages visited by the user and voice and/or textual comments posted or accessed by the user.
