Selecting presentation positions in dynamic content

摘要

Digital items of dynamic content may be navigated by content elements associated with the item of dynamic content. In some embodiments, a voice command or natural language query is obtained from a user to whom the item of dynamic content is being presented. The voice command or natural language query may be processed to identify a content element to which the user wishes to navigate. The item of dynamic content may then be presented starting at a presentation position at or near a presentation position with which the content element is associated.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for navigating an item of audio content, the computer-implemented method comprising:
as implemented by one or more computing devices configured with specific computer-executable instructions,
obtaining synchronization information regarding the item of audio content and an item of textual content that is a companion to the item of audio content, wherein the synchronization information associates individual positions, in the item of textual content, with respective individual positions in the item of audio content;receiving a command to navigate to a desired position in the item of audio content, wherein the desired position is specified in the command relative to a current output position in the item of audio content and with reference in the command to a grammatical syntax structure within the item of textual content;determining, from at least the synchronization information, a first position in the item of textual content that corresponds to a current output position of the item of audio content;determining a second position in the item of textual content relative to the first position in the item of textual content, wherein the second position is identified by the grammatical syntax structure referenced in the command;determining, from at least the synchronization information, a navigation position in the item of audio content that corresponds to the second position in the item of textual content; andproviding, to a computing device configured to present the item of audio content, an indication that the desired position is the navigation position.
