Abstract

An apparatus, method and computer program for inserting information into a conversation between two or more devices is provided. In one embodiment, speech data is received at a device. The speech data is analyzed and converted into text utilizing one or more speech-to-text algorithms. The text is examined to locate information that may be related to the text on the data network.

Claims

1. A method for inserting information into a conversation between two or more devices, comprising:

receiving speech data at one of the two or more devices;

analyzing the speech data and converting the speech data into text utilizing one or more speech-to-text algorithms;

parsing the text;

determining whether a voice command has been relayed based on the parsed text;

directing an action based on the relayed voice command;

examining the parsed text based on the relayed voice command to locate information related to the text on a social media website;

verifying relevance of the related information based on a date of the related information relative to a current date and a similarity of the related information compared to the directed action;

retrieving the verified related information sorted according to user rules, wherein the user rules comprise chronological order, viewership, rating, and the relevance;

inserting the verified retrieved related information to the two or more devices; and

viewing the verified retrieved related information from a previous conversation.

2. The method of claim 1,

wherein the verified retrieved related information is automatically displayed or played in an audio message based on a configuration of an application.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing the parsed text.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

capturing the related information and locating the related information on an associated video stored in the one or more devices and the social media website.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

when parsing through the information or associated videos, matching the information or associated videos based on a defined category, the defined category comprising one of the following;

most viewed, most discussed, top rated, top favorite, recently featured, most responded, most recent, most relevant language, and watch on mobile;

verifying relevance of matched information or the associated videos; and

inserting the relevant information or the associated video on one or more devices based on a configuration of an application.

6. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

determining whether the device is a mobile phone or a computer system; and

accessing a file system of the device based on whether the device is the mobile phone or the computer system.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining whether a voice command is made during speech to text conversion; and

automatically inserting information related to the voice command on one or more devices when the voice command is made.

8. A computer program embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer program causing a processor to:

receive and analyze speech data and convert the speech data into text utilizing one or more speech-to-text algorithms;

parse the text;

determine whether a voice command has been relayed based on the parsed text;

direct an action based on the relayed voice command;

examine the parsed text based on the relayed voice command to locate information related to the text on a social media website;

verify relevance of the related information based on the related information relative to a current date and a similarity of the related information compared to the directed action;

retrieve the verified related information sorted according to user rules, wherein the user rules comprise chronological order, viewership, rating, and the relevance;

insert the verified retrieved related information to two or more devices; and

view the verified retrieved related information from a previous conversation.

9. The computer program of claim 8,

wherein the verified retrieved related information is automatically displayed or played in an audio message based on a configuration of an application.

10. The computer program of claim 8, wherein the computer program further causes the processor to:

store the parsed text.

11. The computer program of claim 10, the program further causing the processor to:

capture the related text and locate the related information on an associated video stored in one or more device and the social media website.

12. The computer program of claim 11, the program further causing the processor to:

when parsing through the information or associated videos, match the information or associated videos based on a defined category, the defined category comprising one or more of the following;

most viewed, most discussed, top rated, top favorite, recently featured, most responded, most recent, most relevant language, and watch on mobile;

verify relevance of matched information or the associated videos; and

insert the relevant information or the associated video on one or more devices based on a configuration of an application.

13. The computer program of claim 11, the program further causing the processor to:

determine whether the device is a mobile phone or a computer system; and

access a file system of the device based on whether the device is the mobile phone or the computer system.

14. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor; and

memory storing an application,

wherein the processor is configured to;

receive and analyze speech data and convert the speech data into text utilizing one or more speech-to-text algorithms;

parse the text;

determine whether a voice command has been relayed based on the parsed text;

direct an action based on the relayed voice command;

examine the parsed text based on the relayed voice command to locate information related to the text on a social media website;

verify relevance of the related information based on a date of the related information relative to a current date and a similarity of the related information compared to the directed action;

retrieve the verified related information sorted according to user rules, wherein the user rules comprise chronological order, viewership, rating, and the relevance;

insert the verified retrieved related information to two or more devices; and

view the verified retrieved related information from a previous conversation.

15. The apparatus of claim 14,

wherein the verified retrieved related information is automatically displayed or played in an audio message based on a configuration of the application.

16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to:

store the parsed text.

17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to:

capture the related text and locate the related information on an associated video stored in the one or more apparatus and the social media website.

18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the processor is further configured to:

when parsing through the information or associated videos, match the information or associated videos based on a defined category, the defined category comprising one or more of the following;

most viewed, most discussed, top rated, top favorite, recently featured, most responded, most recent, most relevant language, and watch on mobile;

verify relevance of matched information or the associated videos; and

insert the relevant information or the associated video on one or more apparatus based on a configuration of the application.

19. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine whether the apparatus is a mobile phone or a computer system; and

access a file system of the apparatus based on whether the apparatus is the mobile phone or the computer system.

20. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine whether a voice command is made during speech to text conversion; and

automatically insert information related to the voice command on one or more apparatus when the voice command is made.
