Benefits of technology

The patent is about a technology that can improve the experience of TV viewers by automatically removing digital on-screen multimedia (DOM) and replacing it with personalized information. This is done by recognizing theDOM and either cropping-resizing the video or inpainting the unobstructed region. By doing so, viewers can be provided with a better viewing experience.

Problems solved by technology

When compounded with the annoyance of moving DOGs that are highlighted with loud additional music or noise also known as digital on-screen multimedia (DOM), the resulting level of frustration leads the viewer to often switch to a different channel.

In some cases, the DOM contains an original content and additional overlay content or instructions to display the overlay. Removing said overlay content or instruction eliminates any need to inpaint or crop-resize. In some cases, it may be desirable to remove the DOM and not post separately on a display.

[0020]As referred to herein, the term “multimedia content” may include any type of content that may be presented to a user. For example, multimedia content may include, but is n...
