Method and apparatus for delivering relevant content

摘要

A method and apparatus for providing a relevant content delivery service on networks such as packet networks, e.g., Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Service over Internet Protocol (SoIP) networks are disclosed. For example, the present method receives a request to initiate a call from a calling party to a called party. The method then establishes a communication connection between the calling party and the called party and a communication connection to a speech recognizer. The method monitors a conversation between the calling party and the called party using the speech recognizer for detecting one or more verbal triggers. Finally, the method delivers relevant content that is associated with any detected verbal triggers to the calling party and/or the called party.

主权项

1. A method for providing relevant content in a communication network, comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a request to initiate a call between two parties; establishing, by the processor, a voice communication connection between the two parties and a communication connection to a speech recognizer, wherein the communication connection to the speech recognizer is established only if one of the two parties is a subscriber to a content delivery service; monitoring, by the processor, a conversation between the two parties over the voice communication connection via the speech recognizer for detecting a plurality of instances of a verbal trigger during the conversation; and delivering, by the processor, the relevant content that is associated with the verbal trigger to the subscriber when a threshold number of instances of the verbal trigger is detected during more than one call over a duration of a day, wherein the relevant content is delivered in an audio format over the voice communication connection to the subscriber while the conversation is still ongoing.
