Embodiment Construction

[0010] A data processing system in which the present invention may be implemented will be described below with reference to the drawings (particularly with reference to FIG. 1). The data processing system 100 takes a personal video recorder (PVR) as an example, which may also be called a digital video recorder (DVR). As shown, the elements in data processing system 100 are interconnected by bus system 102 .

[0011] Data processing system 100 includes processing unit 104 , memory 106 , audio unit 108 , video unit 110 , communication unit 112 , storage device 114 , and subtitle and video analysis unit 116 . Memory 106 contains instructions executed by processing unit 104 to provide various PVR functions. These functions include, for example, recording of programs, analyzing images to be processed during program playback, and managing programs that can be stored in the data processing system 100 .

[0012] The audio unit 108 includes elements for receiving audio signals from i...

Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for processing video data. Text in the subtitles in the multimedia program data is identified to generate a set of text. The set of text is analyzed to form an analysis. A video segment that should be altered based on the analysis is identified to form an identified video segment and this identified segment is altered. Additionally, color corrections may be performed to enhance the visibility of text in subtitles.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improved data processing systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for processing data. In particular, the present invention relates to methods, apparatus and computer instructions for processing video data. Background technique [0002] Personal Video Recorders (PVRs) are becoming increasingly popular with consumers. Also known as a digital video recorder (DVR), the device allows users to play back programs that have already been recorded while recording new programs. In some cases, users can watch a live broadcast on one channel while recording a program from another channel. Also, users can pause or replay recorded programs while watching live broadcasts. Typically, a PVR is connected to a cable or satellite reception system to receive digital video and audio content. Like a VCR, a PVR allows time-shifting of shows, but it also has other features, such as recording all episodes of a show. The syste...
