7 results about "Closed captioning" patented technology

Closed captioning (CC) and subtitling are both processes of displaying text on a television, video screen, or other visual display to provide additional or interpretive information. Both are typically used as a transcription of the audio portion of a program as it occurs (either verbatim or in edited form), sometimes including descriptions of non-speech elements. Other uses have been to provide a textual alternative language translation of a presentation's primary audio language that is usually burned-in (or "open") to the video and unselectable. HTML5 defines subtitles as a "transcription or translation of the dialogue ... when sound is available but not understood" by the viewer (for example, dialogue in a foreign language) and captions as a "transcription or translation of the dialogue, sound effects, relevant musical cues, and other relevant audio information ... when sound is unavailable or not clearly audible" (for example, when audio is muted or the viewer is deaf or hard of hearing).

User placement of closed captioning

Placement of Closed Captioning (CC) in content by a content provider is overridden by means of a user interface (UI) that allows the user to place CC on screen on top of the video. The CC may be derived directly from the audio and synchronized with play of the audio and video.

Image display apparatus and operating method thereof

An image display apparatus includes a display configured to output a screen containing an image and closed captions and a controller, wherein the controller is configured to determine whether a first region corresponding to open captions included in the image overlaps a second region previously set for the closed captions, determine a size of the first region based on that the first region overlaps the second region, display the closed captions in one region of the screen excluding the first region, when the size of the first region is within a preset range, and display the closed captions in the second region when the size of the first region is not within the preset range.

Subtitle adjustment method, electronic equipment and storage medium

The invention discloses a subtitle adjustment method, electronic equipment and a storage medium. The method comprises the steps that a video playing interface is displayed, the video playing interface comprises a preview interface and a subtitle style control, and the subtitle style control is located outside the preview interface; in response to a trigger operation on the subtitle style control, displaying or hiding an editing control for editing the subtitle style; and in response to an editing operation on the editing control, determining an edited target subtitle style, and displaying subtitles in the preview interface according to the target subtitle style. An independent subtitle style control is arranged outside a preview interface, a user can conveniently check and quickly call out a subtitle editing panel, an editing control of a subtitle style can be displayed or hidden through the subtitle style control, then editing of a subtitle format is achieved through the editing control, and the subtitle editing efficiency is improved while subtitle editing is achieved. The edited subtitle effect can be synchronously checked on the preview interface, the operation continuity is good, and the efficiency is high.

Systems and methods for payload transmission over a lossy network

PendingUS20260196207A1Closed captioningSignal quality
Systems and methods for interactive voice to text closed captioning are described. The systems and methods include receiving a voice seed and receiving voice input comprising an audio payload and a voiceprint. The systems and methods include detecting a bandwidth of a network or signal quality is under a first threshold and in response to detecting the bandwidth or signal quality is under the first threshold, converting the audio payload into a text payload comprising textual speech data that represents the audio payload. The text payload and / or the audio payload is transmitted over the network and output audio data is generated based in part on the text payload applied to the voice seed.

Classifying segments of media content using closed captioning

In one aspect, an example method includes (i) retrieving, from a text index, closed captioning repetition data for a segment of a sequence of media content; (ii) generating features using the closed captioning repetition data; (iii) providing the features as input to a classification model, wherein the classification model is configured to output classification data indicative of a likelihood of the features being characteristic of a program segment; (iv) obtaining the classification data output by the classification model; (v) determining a prediction of whether the segment is a program segment using the classification data; and (vi) storing the prediction for the segment in a database.

Systems and methods for providing contextual information

Systems and methods are described herein for causing to be provided contextual information for a content item. The system identifies that a subject in a content item is currently being referenced and determines whether consumption of the content item could be enhanced based on the referenced subject. For example, the system identifies a king being discussed by characters in a television series and determines the king was referenced three months ago. The system determines, based on the last time the subject was referenced, whether to provide contextual information about the subject. Using the determined three-month lapse in time since the king was last referenced, the system determines that contextual information about the king should be provided. Accordingly, the system causes to be displayed the contextual information within closed captioning after determining contextual information should be provided.

Closed captioning summarization

ActiveUS12604061B2Selective content distributionClosed captioningLinguistic model
Systems and methods for providing closed captioning summarization. Various options may be provided to summarize different portions of a media item (e.g., a last 5 minutes, the last 15 minutes, from the beginning of the show). Upon receiving a request for a summary, a closed captioning summarization service may extract a portion of closed captions of a corresponding closed caption file and generate a prompt for a language model (LM) instructing the language model to summarize the extracted portion. A summary received from the LM may be presented on a display concurrently with the media item to provide a recapitulation of a desired portion of the media item to the user without disrupting play of the media item.
