Multimedia Conference Subtitles With Selective Term Annotation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multimedia conferences face challenges in ensuring accurate and efficient interaction due to potential misunderstandings arising from difficult or unfamiliar terms and language barriers, leading to interruptions and incorrect understanding among participants.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for displaying subtitle information with annotation information, where voice information is converted to subtitles, and difficult or unfamiliar content is identified and annotated using user group lexicons, language-specific lexicons, or lexicons of rarely-used words, with controlled display timing and styles to enhance understanding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If subtitle information is displayed without annotation information, then the display is simple and clear, but participant understanding speed decreases and misunderstandings occur
Solution Approach 1:
Annotation information is prepared in advance and associated with subtitle content before display. The system pre-processes the multimedia conference content to identify difficult words and prepare their annotations, so that when subtitles are displayed, the annotations are already ready to be shown simultaneously, eliminating the need for participants to pause and look up meanings.
Solution Approach 2:
Annotation information acts as an intermediary element between the subtitle text and the participant's understanding. Instead of directly displaying only subtitles or requiring participants to separately query meanings, the annotation information serves as a mediating layer that provides contextual explanations alongside the subtitles, facilitating smoother comprehension.
2Reliability
If annotation information is displayed for all subtitle content, then comprehension accuracy improves, but display complexity and information overload increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of uniformly annotating all subtitle content, the system applies annotation selectively based on local characteristics of each subtitle segment. Difficult words are identified through text analysis, and annotations are applied only to those specific segments that require clarification, while common or easily understood words remain unannotated, maintaining display simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs partial annotation rather than complete annotation of all subtitle content. By identifying and annotating only the necessary difficult words within subtitles, the system achieves sufficient comprehension accuracy without the excessive complexity and information overload that would result from annotating every word.
3Productivity
If annotation information is displayed in real-time during conference, then interaction efficiency improves, but processing time and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing of the multimedia conference content before the actual conference interaction. Subtitle conversion, difficult word identification, and annotation preparation are completed in advance, allowing the display system to simply render pre-processed content in real-time without complex on-the-fly processing during the conference.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method, apparatus and electronic device for displaying. A particular implementation of the method comprises: obtaining subtitle information of a multimedia conference, wherein the subtitle information is obtained by converting voice information in the multimedia conference; determining content to be annotated in the subtitle information; obtaining annotation information of the content to be annotated; and displaying the subtitle information and displaying the annotation information corresponding to the content to be annotated. In this way, a new displaying approach for a multimedia conference is provided.
