Patent Images
1. A system for providing a user-interaction activation, the system comprising:
- a display configured to display a multimedia presentation, the multimedia presentation comprising a series of frames that are displayed sequentially, each frame having a plurality of spatial areas, each spatial area having a context that comprises information relating to the multimedia presentation;
at least one camera operatively coupled to the display;
at least one microphone;
a memory storage; and
a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, the camera and the microphone, wherein the processing unit is operative to;
receive, at the at least one microphone, a speech signal;
analyze the speech signal to identify a request relating to the multimedia presentation, the request relating to a frame;
receive, at the at least one camera, a gesture identifying a spatial area of the frame;
create a query based on the request, the identified spatial area, and the context associated with the spatial area;
perform the query; and
display a result based on the performed query.

Abstract
A user interaction activation may be provided. A plurality of signals received from a user may be evaluated to determine whether the plurality of signals are associated with a visual display. If so, the plurality of signals may be translated into an agent action and a context associated with the visual display may be retrieved. The agent action may be performed according to the retrieved context and a result associated with the performed agent action may be displayed to the user.

11. A system for providing user-interaction activation, including:
-
at least one processor; and a memory operatively coupled to the at least one processor and including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method, the method comprising; receiving, at a microphone, a speech signal; analyzing the speech signal to identify a request relating to a multimedia presentation displayed on a display, wherein the multimedia presentation comprises a series of frames, each frame having a plurality of spatial areas, each spatial area having different information, wherein the frames are displayed sequentially and wherein each frame in the series of frames is associated with a context that comprises informational content of the multimedia presentation; wherein the request relates to a frame of the multimedia presentation; receiving, at a camera, a gesture identifying a spatial area of the frame; creating a query based on the request, the identified spatial area, and the context associated with the frame; performing the query; and providing a result based on the performed query.

12. A device comprising:
-
a display for displaying a multimedia presentation, the multimedia presentation comprising a series of frames, each frame having a plurality of spatial areas, each spatial area having different information, wherein the frames are displayed sequentially, and wherein each frame in the series of frames is associated with a context that comprises informational content of the multimedia presentation; a microphone for capturing one or more speech signals; a motion detector for detecting one or more user gestures, the motion detector operatively connected to the display; a programmable circuit operatively connected to the display, the microphone, and the motion detector, the programmable circuit configured to execute program instructions which, when executed, cause the device to; receive, at the microphone, a speech signal; analyze the speech signal to identify a request relating to the multimedia presentation, the request relating to a frame; receive, at the motion detector, a user gesture identifying a spatial area of the frame; create a query based on the request, the identified spatial area, and the context associated with the frame; send the query to a server; receive, from the server, a result of the query; and display the result. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
