Interactive Subtitle Display with Category Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current subtitle display technologies lack user interaction and customization options, limiting user experience by not allowing users to select subtitle content based on their preferences.
Innovation Solution
A subtitle display method and device that parses category labels from subtitle files, presenting category content in an interactive graphic manner, allowing users to select and display corresponding subtitles, with options for default selection and exclusion of category attributes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional subtitle display methods are used with rich presentation manners (different colors, fonts for different roles and scenes), then subtitle visualization is enhanced, but user customization options and interaction capabilities remain limited
Solution Approach 1:
The subtitle system is segmented into multiple category groups (e.g., character-specific subtitles, scene-specific subtitles, information types) that can be independently selected and controlled. Each category can be individually enabled or disabled, allowing users to customize which subtitle categories appear on screen while maintaining rich presentation features within each category.
2Reliability
If subtitle forced display function is implemented to ensure important text elements are always visible, then information delivery is improved, but user control over subtitle display is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The subtitle display system transitions from static forced display to dynamic controlled display. Users can dynamically adjust which subtitle categories are displayed through interactive selection, allowing the system to adapt between forced display modes (for reliability) and user-controlled display modes (for ease of operation) based on user preferences.
3Loss of information
If multiple subtitle categories and types are supported to provide rich content, then subtitle information completeness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple subtitle categories are segmented into organized groups with clear hierarchical structures. The system provides structured management of subtitle types (character subtitles, scene subtitles, information subtitles) with standardized category attributes, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
A universal category management framework is implemented that can handle multiple subtitle types through a common structure. The same category selection mechanism applies across different subtitle types, and the system can universally process various TTML attribute configurations, reducing complexity through standardized handling.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a subtitle display method and a subtitle display device, and relate to the field of communications technologies. Category content is presented to a user in an interactive graphic manner, so that the user can select corresponding category content according to the user's preference, and subtitles corresponding to the category content are displayed. The method includes: receiving a subtitle file, and parsing a category label of the subtitle file, where the category label includes category content; presenting, on a display device in an interactive graphic manner, the category content for a user to perform selection; and receiving a result of selecting one or more pieces of the category content by the user, and displaying, according to the selection result, subtitles corresponding to the selected category content, therefore classified display of subtitles is implemented.
