Abstract:
A search is performed based on a voice input combined with user selection of entities displayed on a display screen as well as real-world entities. A voice input is received from the user by a media device, as well as a selection of a first entity being displayed on the media device. A gesture made by the user is also identified, and a second, real-world entity corresponding to the gesture is determined. A search query is constructed based on a search operator in the voice input, the first entity, and the second entity. The search query is transmitted to a database and, in response, the media device receives at least one identifier of a least one content item. The at least one identifier is then generated for display to the user.
