Samsung patents TV voice search that prioritizes specific content types
Samsung has filed a patent for a display device that uses voice commands to search for content. The system sends your voice to a server, which returns results divided into two categories, with one category taking priority over the other in the user interface.
In the filing’s own words
An example display device may include a voice signal receiver, a display, at least one memory storing an application supporting a contents providing service and storing instructions, a communication circuit communicating with at least one external server supporting the contents providing service, and at least one processor. The contents providing service may provide contents files of a first type and contents files of a second type.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A display device comprising: a voice input receiver; a display; a communicator; and a processor configured to: transmit, through the communicator, a first user voice input received through the voice input receiver to at least one external server, receive, through the communicator, a search result for a plurality of contents corresponding to the first user voice input from the at least one external server, wherein the plurality of contents includes at least one content of a first type and/or at least one content of a second type, control the display to display a first user interface (UI) including information on the at least one content of the first type and to display an item for displaying a second UI including information on the at least one content of the second type, wherein a priority of the first type is higher than a priority of the second type.
