Augmenting an information request

摘要

An electronic device comprises a microphone for receiving an oral request for information about an unspecified object. A sensor receives augmentation information about the unspecified object. Combination logic combines information from the oral request with the augmentation information into a combined format information request. Information retrieval logic then retrieves an answer to the combined format information request.

主权项

1. An electronic device comprising:
a microphone for receiving an oral request for information about an unspecified object; a camera for receiving augmentation information about the unspecified object, wherein the augmentation information is in a video file generated by the camera; combination logic for combining information from the oral request with the augmentation information into a combined format information request; information retrieval logic for retrieving an answer to the combined format information request; a metadata retrieving logic, wherein the unspecified object is an object that is represented by the video file, wherein the metadata retrieving logic retrieves metadata from the video file that describes the object represented by the video file; and correlation logic that correlates information from the metadata to identify information about the unspecified object to generate an answer to the combined format information request.
