METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONDUCTING CONTEXT SENSITIVE SEARCH WITH INTELLIGENT USER INTERACTION FROM WITHIN A MEDIA EXPERIENCE

摘要

In some embodiments, the invention involves context based search engine using a user selected term within a media experience. A natural language processor module is configured to provide context based keywords related to the search term and from within the media experience. In some embodiments, a proximity based statistical analysis is used to derive the keywords. The keywords are provided to at least one content browser or other search engine(s) to effect the search. In some embodiments, a machine learning module is communicatively coupled to the natural language processer to further refine the context for selecting relevant keywords. The context search engine, natural language processor module, machine learning module and search engine may reside on the same computing device or be distributed among a variety of local, remote and cloud devices for processing. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
