Dynamic updating of application capabilities based on user interactions
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240037616A1) describes a method for enhancing the capabilities of an application by receiving task-specific modules to customize the application. These modules, such as a media recognition module, are trained to recognize specific media items in content, like words in audio streams or objects in images. The customized application can then perform task-specific operations based on user input, presenting results accordingly.
Furthermore, the method involves identifying task-specific modules based on user data from interactions with an electronic marketplace, including user-provided interest information and historical activity data. This customization extends to supporting product selling and buying, utilizing user-specific sales and buying histories. The patent also covers a system and computer storage medium implementing this method, allowing for the updating of general modules with task-specific ones to create personalized applications with advanced recognition capabilities for media content.
