In operation 3010, the contents providing system 10 may obtain utterance through the voice signal receiver 140. The utterance may be referred to as a voice command for making a request for specific contents.
In operation 3020, the contents providing system 10 may extract a keyword associated with a plurality of contents files stored in the contents database 332 of the contents providing system 10, from the obtained utterance.
Referring to
In an embodiment, the contents providing system 10 may store keywords associated with contents in the memories 150 and 330 in advance. For example, the information included in meta data of contents, such as contents names, contents types, and the like may be stored as keywords in advance. The contents providing system 10 may convert the obtained utterance into a text and may determine whether the converted text includes pre-stored keywords. The word matched with the pre-stored keywords may be extracted as a keyword.
In an embodiment, at least one memory 150 or 330 may store contents corresponding to a plurality of types. For example, at least one memory 150 or 330 may store a contents database (e.g., the contents database 332) that stores a plurality of contents files corresponding to one of a first type and a second type.
In operation 3030, the contents providing system 10 may search for contents files corresponding to the keyword. For example, the contents providing system 10 may search for the first contents file of the first type and the second contents file of the second type, which correspond to the extracted keyword.
In operation 3040, the contents providing system 10 may display a screen according to the playback or execution of at least one contents file of the first type, through the display 130. For example, the priority of the first type may be set to be higher than the priority of the second type. The contents providing system 10 may play or execute only the contents file having a high priority among the found contents files and may output a screen according to the contents file.
For example, the contents providing system 10 may search for contents files of a broadcast type and VOD contents files corresponding to the keyword of ‘Game of Thrones’. The contents file of the broadcast type may be set to have a higher priority than the VOD contents file. The contents providing system 10 may display the contents file of a broadcast type through the display 130. For example, the contents files being broadcast through a specific channel may be played.
In various embodiments, the contents providing system 10 may search for a plurality of contents files of the same type corresponding to the extracted keyword. In various embodiments, when the plurality of contents files of the same type corresponding to the extracted keyword are found, the contents providing system 10 may provide selection interfaces 410 and 430 for obtaining a selection input to one of the plurality of contents files.
Referring to the channel selection interface 410 of
The electronic device 100 may obtain a selection input to one of contents files of the broadcasting type having the same keyword through the channel selection interface 410. A plurality of contents files of the broadcast type for ‘Game of Thrones’ being the keyword included in the utterance of the user 50 may be found. For example, ‘Game of Thrones’ may be broadcast on channel A, channel B, and channel C at a point in time when the utterance of user 50 is obtained. The contents providing system 10 may receive a selection input to any one of contents files associated with ‘Game of Thrones’ broadcast on channel A, channel B, and channel C through the channel selection interface 410. The contents providing system 10 may provide contents of a broadcast type of the selected channel in response to receiving the selection input.
The VOD selection interface 430 may obtain a selection input to one of VOD contents files having the same keyword. A plurality of VOD contents files for ‘Game of Thrones’ being the keyword included in the utterance of the user 50 may be found. For example, when there is no channel on which the contents associated with ‘Game of Thrones’ are broadcast in real time at a point in time when the utterance of the user 50 is obtained, the found results for VOD contents files may be displayed through the VOD selection interface 430. The contents providing system 10 may receive a selection input to one of VOD contents files of ‘Game of Thrones season 1’ to ‘Game of Thrones season 5’ through the VOD selection interface 430. The contents providing system 10 may provide the selected VOD contents in response to receiving the selection input.
In various embodiments, the selection interfaces 410 and 430 may be found depending on keywords included in an utterance and may include a button (e.g., a “view more” button or a more result button) for displaying undisplayed contents and information about the contents. The user 50 may select the button to identify contents having low priority that are not currently displayed on a screen. Accordingly, the contents providing system 10 may display the various found contents on the display 130.
According to various embodiments, the contents providing system 10 providing broadcast contents may store a broadcast channel name, information included in meta data of a live-stream channel, the name of VOD contents, and an application name, in the contents database 332 as keywords. The keyword analysis module 314 of the server 300 may extract a pre-stored keyword from an utterance and may search for the contents file corresponding to the extracted keyword in the contents database 332. For example, contents files may be stored in the contents database 332 by being mapped onto the keywords associated with respective contents.
In various embodiments, the electronic device 100 may store an application associated with a broadcasting contents providing service in the memory 150. The electronic device 100 may execute an application and may play or execute contents provided through the application. For example, when the user's utterance includes the keyword associated with an application, the contents providing system 10 may transmit a control signal, which make it possible to execute the application, to the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 may execute the application in response to receiving the control signal and may display the execution screen of the application through the display 130.
In various embodiments, real-time broadcast contents, VOD contents, and application contents may have different priorities from one another. The contents providing system 10 may set the real-time broadcast contents to have a first priority, may set the VOD contents to have a second priority, and may set the application contents to have a third priority. For example, the meta data of each contents file may include information about a type of contents file and the priority for the type of contents file. Alternatively, referring to
For example, when the broadcast channel name is extracted as a keyword and the contents file is found by the keyword, the contents providing system 10 may directly provide the electronic device 100 with a broadcasting contents file of the broadcasting channel in the form of streaming data. Besides, the electronic device 100 may play the provided streaming data.
For example, the user may utter the name of the channel to be played, but may utter the information associated with the channel currently being broadcast. The information associated with the channel may be included in the meta data of the channel. When the broadcast channel name and the information included in channel meta data are extracted as a keyword and the contents file is found by the keywords, the contents providing system 10 may provide a channel selection interface (e.g., the channel selection interface 410 in
For example, when the broadcast channel name and a VOD contents name are extracted as keywords and the contents file is found by the keywords, the contents providing system 10 may determine that contents intended by the user are contents of the broadcast channel, depending on a predetermined priority. The contents providing system 10 may provide the electronic device 100 with a real-time broadcasting contents file of the broadcasting channel in the form of streaming data. As the priority of the real-time broadcast contents is set to be wider than the priority of the VOD contents, the contents providing system 10 may provide only the real-time broadcast contents to the electronic device 100.
For example, when the VOD contents name and an application name are extracted as keywords and the contents file is found by the keywords, the contents providing system 10 may determine that contents intended by the user are the VOD contents, depending on a predetermined priority. The contents providing system 10 may provide the VOD contents to the electronic device 10. In various embodiments, when a plurality of VOD contents corresponding to a keyword are found, the contents providing system 10 may transmit a control signal to the electronic device 100 to display a VOD selection interface (e.g., the VOD selection interface 430). The electronic device 100 may display the VOD selection interface through the display 130 in response to receiving a control signal.
