Method and system for generating elements of recorded information in response to a secondary user's natural language input

摘要

The invention relates to a computerized method and computer-based system for generating elements of recorded information for a secondary user in response to the secondary user's natural language input. The recorded information could be in the form of, for example, video, audio, audiovisual, text files, or other recordable media. The method and system of the invention permit a secondary user to access, in real time, information of an original source (e.g., allows a descendant to obtain a multimedia response stored by or on behalf of an ancestor) via a computer network, with the response being accessible via a television, audio player, Bluetooth or wireless device, or any other electronic and digital system. The access to such information can be initiated by the secondary user's input provided through use of, for example, voice response technology, including speech recognition and natural language software. The ability to access the information as recorded by the original source increases the perceived and, hopefully the actual, level of validity and accuracy, while also simulating, with multiple secondary user communication entries and responses, a ‘face-to-face conversation’ between the secondary user and the original source.
