Abstract

A reception apparatus, including processing circuitry that is configured to receive a voice command related to content from a user during presentation of the content to the user. The processing circuitry is configured to transmit the voice command to a server system for processing. The processing circuitry is configured to receive a response to the voice command from the server system. The response to the voice command is generated based on the voice command and content information for identifying the content related to the voice command.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A reception apparatus, comprising:
 processing circuitry configured to   receive a voice command related to content from a user during presentation of the content to the user,   transmit the voice command to a server system for processing, and   receive a response to the voice command from the server system, the response to the voice command being generated based on the voice command and content information for identifying the content related to the voice command.   
     
     
         2 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the content is audio or video content; and   the processing circuitry is configured to decode the audio or video content for display to the user, and   receive the voice command related to the audio or video content during the display of the audio or video content.   
     
     
         3 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the processing circuitry is configured to execute a broadcast application while the content is presented to the user, and   the broadcast application is programmed to provide the content information to the server system.   
     
     
         4 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the server system includes a first server and a second server; and   the processing circuitry is configured to   transmit the voice command to the first server included in the server system, and   receive the response to the voice command from the second server included in the server system.   
     
     
         5 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the voice command includes an activation word that indicates the voice command is related to the content being presented to the user. 
     
     
         6 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the voice command includes a query related to the content being presented to the user, and   the response to the voice command received from the server system includes an answer to the question included in the voice command.   
     
     
         7 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to decode the content for the presentation to the user. 
     
     
         8 . A method for receiving a response to a voice command, the method comprising:
 receiving the voice command related to content from a user during presentation of the content to the user;   transmitting, by processing circuitry of a reception apparatus, the voice command to a server system for processing; and   receiving, by the processing circuitry of the reception apparatus, the response to the voice command from the server system, the response to the voice command being generated based on the voice command and content information for identifying the content related to the voice command.   
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the content is audio or video content,   the method further includes decoding the audio or video content for display to the user, and   the receiving the voice command includes receiving the voice command related to the audio or video content during the display of the audio or video content.   
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 executing a broadcast application while the content is presented to the user, wherein   the broadcast application is programmed to provide the content information to the server system.   
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the server system includes a first server and a second server,   the transmitting includes transmitting the voice command to the first server included in the server system, and   the receiving the response includes receiving the response to the voice command from the second server included in the server system.   
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein the voice command includes an activation word that indicates the voice command is related to the content being presented to the user. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the voice command includes a query related to the content being presented to the user, and   the response to the voice command received from the server system includes an answer to the question included in the voice command.   
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 decoding the content for the presentation to the user.   
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method for receiving a response to a voice command, the method comprising:
 receiving the voice command related to content from a user during presentation of the content to the user;   transmitting the voice command to a server system for processing; and   receiving the response to the voice command from the server system, the response to the voice command being generated based on the voice command and content information for identifying the content related to the voice command.   
     
     
         16 . An information processing system, comprising:
 processing circuitry configured to   receive, from a reception apparatus, a voice command related to content that is presented to a user,   obtain content information for identifying the content related to the voice command,   generate a response to the voice command based on the voice command and the obtained content information for identifying the content related to the voice command, and   transmit, to the reception apparatus, the generated response to the voice command.   
     
     
         17 . The information processing system according to  claim 16 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to obtain the content information for identifying the content related to the voice command from a broadcast application that is executed on the reception apparatus while the content is being presented to the user. 
     
     
         18 . The information processing system according to  claim 16 , wherein the voice command includes an activation word that indicates the voice command is related to the content being presented to the user. 
     
     
         19 . The information processing system according to  claim 16 , wherein
 the voice command includes a query related to the content being presented to the user; and   the response to the voice command includes an answer to the query included in the voice command.
