IN-CONTENT VOICE COMMERCE ENGINE
Inventors
Stephen M. Byrd
Abstract
The invention provides a system and method for enabling real-time, voice-activated commerce directly within audiovisual content. A viewer identifies and purchases products displayed in programming by issuing natural language commands. The system integrates merchant-uploaded “digital twins” of products, streaming content analysis via metadata or AI-powered visual recognition, and contextual interpretation of viewer queries. In some embodiments, the system supports multilanguage functionality, enabling automatic detection of a viewer's spoken language or selection of a preferred profile, with localized processing of queries and presentation of product information and overlays. The invention performs end-to-end commerce execution within the television or streaming platform, including product identification, presentation, and secure transaction using pre-linked payment accounts. A monetization framework ensures only registered and verified products are presented in response to queries, creating a controlled, scalable revenue model for brands and content originators. The system further extends into AR, VR, and mixed reality environments.
