Abstract

A method for automatically generating a dynamic index for content displayed on an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting the content displayed on the electronic device, generating, by the processor, the dynamic index for the content based on user intent, and causing to display the dynamic index on a screen of the electronic device.

Claims

1. A method for automatically generating a dynamic index for a content displayed on an electronic device, the method comprising:

detecting the content displayed on the electronic device;

generating the dynamic index for the content based on a user intent; and

displaying the dynamic index on a screen of the electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user intent comprises at least of a user knowledge graph, heuristics of the user reading pattern, a document type, topics of the content displayed on the electronic device, a state transition matrix, and user activities.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the state transition matrix comprises entries corresponding to the topics within the content, each of the entries representing a transition probability from a current topic to a next topic.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the dynamic index comprises a plurality of topics identified within the content, the topics being dynamically arranged based on the user intent.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the plurality of topics comprises a main topic and a subtopic, the main topic being associated with at least one of an internal content source and an external content source, the subtopic being associated with at least one of an internal content source and an external content source.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the dynamic index is used to generate at least one of a speech grammars from topics of the dynamic index for multi-modal set, a description corresponding to a topic in the dynamic index, and cross-language terms for a topic of the dynamic index.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a swipe input on a current set of the dynamic index; and

displaying, in response to receiving the swipe input, an alternative set of the dynamic index.

16. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

performing a multi-modal interaction based on multiple modalities including a speech command and text,

wherein the speech command comprises a standard set of commands and additional keywords extracted from the text.

8. An electronic device for automatically generating a dynamic index for a content, the electronic device comprises:

a display;

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to;

detect the content displayed on the electronic device;

generate the dynamic index for the content based on a user intent; and

cause the display to display the dynamic index on a screen of the electronic device.

9. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the user intent comprises at least of a user knowledge graph, a heuristics of the user reading pattern, a document type, topics of the content displayed on the electronic device, a state transition matrix, and user activities.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the state transition matrix comprises entries corresponding to the topics within the content, each of the entries representing a transition probability of transition from a current topic to a next topic.

11. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the dynamic index comprises a plurality of topics identified within the content, the topics being dynamically arranged based on the user intent.

12. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the plurality of topics comprises a main topic and a subtopic, the main topic being associated with at least one of an internal content source and an external content source, and the subtopic being associated with at least one of an internal content source and an external content source.

13. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the dynamic index is used to generate at least one of a speech grammar from topics of the dynamic index for multi-modal set, a description corresponding to a topic in the dynamic index, and cross-language terms for a topic of the dynamic index.

14. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a swipe input on a current set of the dynamic index; and

cause the display to display, in response to receiving the swipe input, an alternative set of the dynamic index.

17. The electronic device of claim 13,

wherein the processor is further configured to perform a multi-modal interaction based on multiple modalities including a speech command and text, and

wherein the speech command comprises a standard set of commands and additional keywords extracted from the text.

15. At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing a computer program of instructions configured to be readable by at least one processor for instructing the at least one processor to execute a computer process for performing functions of:

detecting a content displayed on an electronic device;

generating a dynamic index for the content based on a user intent; and

displaying the dynamic index on a screen of the electronic device.
