Abstract
This application discloses a method for using closed captions to initiate display of related content. A computer system identifies a set of first information in closed captions of a video stream, and searches an identity database using the set of first information as queries. The identity database stores a plurality of identities, and each identity is associated with a name and an importance metric. The computer system identifies one or more identities in the identity database based on the respective importance metrics of the one or more identities, and obtains second information of one or more content files related to the identities identified in the identity database. Upon obtaining the second information, the computer system generates instructions to invoke an application for presenting the second information of the one or more content files to the user of the computing device.
