Abstract:
Systems and methods for using an audio stream to identify metadata associated with a currently playing television program are disclosed. A video stream including closed captions is received. A set of information is determined from the closed captions. A request including the set of information is sent to a server remotely located from the client for additional processing. A set of instructions is received from the server. The set of instructions is determined based on the additional processing of the set of information. One or more applications are executed in accordance with the set of instructions in response to receiving the set of instructions.

Abstract:
In some implementations, a method for using closed captions in a double display scenario includes, obtaining a video stream configured to be displayed on a first display device. The video stream includes closed captions. The method also includes, identifying one or more symbols or words included in the closed captions; and obtaining a set of instructions. The set of instructions includes instructions to display content information relating to at least one symbol or word in the one or more symbols or words. The method further includes, in response to obtaining, and in accordance with, the set of instructions, executing one or more applications based on a type of the content information; and formatting for display, on a second display device, output from the one or more applications. The applications include one of: a web browser, a music application, a feed reader application, a coupon application, and a content viewer.

Abstract:
This application discloses a method for using closed captions to initiate display of related content. A computing device obtains closed captions of a video stream displayed to a user of the computing device, and identifies in the closed captions a set of information items including one or more emphasized words that are relevant for identifying information of one or more related content files. The computing device then transmits the emphasized words to a server that is distinct from a source of the video stream, and obtains therefrom the information of the one or more content files related to the emphasized words. In response to obtaining the information of the one or more content files and without user intervention, the computing device causes an application to be invoked for presenting the one or more content files to the user of the computing device.

Abstract:
A geospatial indexing module operating in a server device operates on an efficient index for retrieving and providing map features which represent geographic entities such as streets, roads, cities, states, buildings, bodies of water, etc. The index includes identification information for a map feature fragment, which represents at least a portion of a map feature, as well as a node in a tree data structure to which the map feature fragment corresponds and a range of levels of detail for which the map feature fragment is valid. When a user requests map data for a geographic region at a level of detail, the geospatial indexing module queries the index for all map feature fragments within the requested region and level of detail and provides the retrieved map feature fragments to the user.
