Veveo is a software company that provides intelligent search, discovery, and personalization capabilities for connected devices and applications. Veveo’s technology has had more than 100 million deployments worldwide through leading device OEMs and Tier-1 service providers, and 45 million TVs supported by leading pay TV operators in the US and Canada.
Founded in 2004, Veveo’s customers include Comcast, Cablevision, Rogers, AT&T, DirecTV, and Nokia. The venture-backed company is based near Boston, MA and has an intellectual property portfolio of 50 (issued/allowed) patents and 80 filed patent applications.[1] On February 25, 2014, Veveo was acquired by Rovi Corporation.[2]
Technology
Based on the company’s patented Knowledge Graph semantic search platform, Veveo products enable advanced solutions for search, recommendation, discovery and navigation that offer intelligent, intuitive and efficient usability.[3] These technologies further enable the implementation of intelligent conversational interfaces to bridge the gap in usability for connected devices and applications with natural language and speech based interfaces.[4][5]
Veveo’s semantic solutions are designed to deliver rich, hyper-personalized user experiences that anticipate user intent, driving higher engagement, content consumption, and monetization of products and services for device vendors, service providers and enterprises, across platforms of smartphones, tablets, TVs, and set-top boxes.[6]
Conversational Interfaces
Veveo’s developments in natural language processing and understanding enabled dialog-based real-time conversational interfaces to be introduced in late 2012.[7] These interfaces allow connected devices and applications to be used with natural conversational intelligence applied to voice interfaces. As a result, users can talk to devices with normal language and devices can respond back with natural language responses.[8]
Users can communicate with devices in an ongoing dialog wherein devices are aware of ongoing context or change in context and can respond accordingly. Veveo’s conversational interfaces are currently in trials and will be made available first for television and video applications through pay-TV operators and smart TV OEMs. The technology is being further developed for other applications such as mobile assistants, connected automobiles, enterprise and others.
