Video Display Process for Speaker Talk Section Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in identifying specific speech positions of individuals within long video content data without having to play back the entire content, as existing methods lack effective visualization of talk sections by speaker.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a sound characteristic output module, talk section detection process module, and display process module that analyzes audio data to detect talk sections and displays them on a time bar, classified by speaker, allowing users to visualize speech positions without playing back the content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If video content data is played back to understand content, then content understanding is improved, but time consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of video content during recording or before playback, extracting and storing metadata including appearing persons, their speech positions, and time zone information. This preliminary action enables users to quickly locate specific content without watching the entire video, resolving the contradiction between content understanding and time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary indexing system that acts as a mediator between the user and the video content. The system generates an appearing person list with time zone information that serves as an intermediate interface, allowing users to efficiently navigate and understand video content without direct playback of the entire material.
2Device complexity
If a simple appearing person list is displayed, then device complexity is reduced, but speech position information is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the appearing person list into distinct time zone sections, with each section corresponding to a specific time range where a person appears or speaks. This segmentation allows the display to remain relatively simple while incorporating detailed speech position information through temporal organization, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a temporal dimension to the appearing person list by incorporating time zone information. Instead of a simple one-dimensional list of names, the system creates a two-dimensional structure combining person identification with temporal positioning, enabling speech position information to be conveyed without significantly increasing display complexity.

AI summary
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes an acquiring module and a display process module. The acquiring module is configured to acquire information regarding a plurality of persons using information of video content data, the plurality of persons appearing in a plurality of sections in the video content data. The display process module is configured to display (i) a time bar representative of a sequence of the video content data, (ii) information regarding a first person appearing in a first section of the sections, and (iii) information regarding a second person different from the first person, the second person appearing in a second section of the sections. The first area of the time bar corresponds to the first section is displayed in a first form, and a second area of the time bar corresponds to the second section is displayed in a second form different from the first form.
