Abstract

One non-limiting embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, from a user, user input comprising a trigger event; identifying, using at least one processor, active media content; and performing, based upon the trigger event, an action with respect to the active media content. This embodiment is intended to be non-limiting and other embodiments are contemplated, disclosed, and discussed.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, from a user, user input comprising a trigger event, wherein the trigger event is configured by the user;

identifying, in response to the user input, active media content; and

performing, based upon the trigger event, an action with respect to the active media content.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the active media content comprises audio media content and wherein the identifying active media content comprises identifying a particular audio media file currently playing.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifying active media content comprises accessing a schedule corresponding to the active media content.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifying active media content comprises identifying a channel of the active media content.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing an action comprises associating the active media content with the user.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising providing a notification related to the active media content to the user.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the providing a notification comprises providing a reminder to search for the active media content.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing an action comprises recording the active media content.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the recording the active media content comprises recording a subsequent playing of the active media content.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving user input comprises receiving user input at a virtual assistant on an information handling device.

11. An information handling device, comprising:

at least one processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to;

receive, from a user, user input comprising a trigger event, wherein the trigger event is configured by the user;

identify, using at least one processor, active media content; and

perform, based upon the trigger event, an action with respect to the active media content.

12. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the active media content comprises audio media content and wherein the identifying active media content comprises identifying a particular audio media file currently playing.

13. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the identifying active media content comprises accessing a schedule corresponding to the active media content.

14. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the identifying active media content comprises identifying a channel of the active media content.

15. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the performing an action comprises associating the active media content with the user.

16. The information handling device of claim 15, further comprising providing a notification related to the active media content to the user.

17. The information handling device of claim 16, wherein the providing a notification comprises providing a reminder to search for the active media content.

18. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the performing an action comprises recording the active media content.

19. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the receiving user input comprises receiving user input at a virtual assistant on an information handling device.

20. A product, comprising:

a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising;

code that receives, from a user, user input comprising a trigger event, wherein the trigger event is configured by the user;

code that identifies, using at least one processor, active media content; and

code that performs, based upon the trigger event, an action with respect to the active media content.
