| 20110052147 | PLAYBACK OF VIDEO AND CORRESPONDING SUBTITLE DATA - The invention relates playing back video with subtitles. A playback apparatus ( | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110116763 | REPRODUCTION DEVICE, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, REPRODUCTION METHOD, PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A playback device for updating a character string in synchronization with a moving image displays a gradation character using an available index in a color lookup table. The playback device includes a pre-analysis unit that pre-analyzes character-string display instruction information in a text subtitle stream, thereby recognizing in advance the available index in the color lookup table and displaying the gradation character using the available index. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110116764 | NON-DESTRUCTIVE FILE BASED MASTERING FOR MULTIPLE LANGUAGES AND VERSIONS - A method, system, apparatus, article of manufacture, and computer program product provide the ability to non-destructively generate a file based master. A domestic source (having domestic audio and video content) with textless content (have portions of the domestic source that is devoid of text) is obtained. A localized source (e.g., localized audio-video) based on the domestic source is received. The localized video is compared to the domestic source to determine differences. The localized video is bladed and realigned with the domestic source. Metadata (of the differences) is transposed onto the domestic source. Texted portions in the domestic source are obscured with corresponding portions of the textless content. Texted material (based on the localized video and texted portions) is created. The localized video content and the textless content are discarded. The domestic source, localized audio content, created texted material; and metadata are combined into a playlist that represents a localized file based master. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110142415 | DIGITAL CONTENT AND APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REPRODUCING THE DIGITAL CONTENT - Disclosed is a digital content, and an apparatus and a method for reproducing a digital content. The method includes reading and reproducing the digital content, determining whether it is possible to display a text subtitle included in the digital content by an embedded font, if so, outputting the text subtitle by using the embedded font, and if not, converting the text subtitle to one subtitle among one or more different subtitles having a different file type corresponding to the text subtitle and outputting the converted subtitle. The method can select and output an optimum subtitle according to various standards and thus can be flexibly operated in consideration of the performance of the reproduction apparatus and the situation of the digital contents. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110268424 | AUTOMATED AUDIO CONFORM - A guide start location is located in a guide segment of a guide track. The guide segment has a segment length. A part start location of a part corresponding to the guide start location is located. N phase correlations are performed between N successively overlapped part segments of the part from the part start location and the guide segment from the guide start location within a first interval. Each of the N successively overlapped part segments has the segment length. A best match is determined from the N phase correlations using a match threshold. The best match provides a first offset. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20120057847 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FILTERING CONTENT IN A VIDEO STREAM USING CLOSED CAPTIONING DATA - Various embodiments of apparatus and/or methods are described for skipping and/or filtering content from a video stream using closed captioning data associated with the video stream. The closed captioning data is parsed using metadata to identify portions of the video stream to skip during presentation, and/or to identify portions of the video stream to output to a user. The portions of the video stream that are to be skipped are filtered from the video stream, and the filtered video stream is presented to a user. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120057848 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING INTERSTITIAL BREAKS IN A PROGRESS BAR OF A VIDEO STREAM - Various embodiments of apparatus and/or methods are described for presenting information regarding interstitials of a video stream. A recording of a television show may include segments of the show interspersed with interstitials (e.g., commercials). The location of the interstitials within the recording is identified, and the locations of the interstitials are presented in progress bar during presentation of the video stream. The location of the interstitials may also be utilized to determine durations of the interstitials, and provide a user with information regarding the lengths of the interstitials of a recording, and/or the length of the other content of a recording (e.g., segments of a television show). | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120301110 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - An image processing apparatus, method and computer program storage device cooperate to receive character information and broadcast program information, and then insert the character information in a capture portion of the program information. The program information includes audio-visual data to be displayed, as well as caption attribute information. | 11-29-2012 |
| 20120301111 | COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED VIDEO CAPTIONING METHOD AND PLAYER - A computer-implemented video-player for adding and/or editing a time-sequenced caption to a video stream already stored on a web-site or uploaded by the user. A method and computer program product effectuating such manipulation of a caption in relation to the video stream. Editing of the caption can be effectuated only by a user who has created the caption. The video-player plays the video-stream with the caption overlayed on the video in a window movable, at user's discretion, across the screen of the video-player. The video stream and the associated caption are stored, generally, in different storages, with the caption being stored in association of a site or device hosting the video-player. | 11-29-2012 |
| 20130011121 | REAL-TIME VIDEO EDITING - To accomplish frame-accurate capturing and/or editing of live or recorded video content in a web-based user interface, video content received from a source is stored in individual video frames in a database. Metadata (e.g., closed caption data) and/or visual graphic thumbnails also is stored in the database and used to edit the video content in a frame-accurate manner. Each frame of the video content, each portion of metadata, and/or a visual graphic thumbnail may be associated with a timestamp reference for synchronization. The frame-accurate video editing may be performed by an end user or automated based on user configurations. | 01-10-2013 |
| 20130308922 | ENHANCED VIDEO DISCOVERY AND PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH ACCESSIBILITY - Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for enabling the content of a video to be accessed and searched. A textual transcript of audio associated with a video is displayed along with the video. The textual transcript may be displayed in the form of a series of textual captions or in other form. The textual transcript is enabled to be searched according to search criteria. Portions of the transcript that match the search criteria may be highlighted, enabling those portions of the transcript to be accessed and viewed relatively quickly. Locations/play times in the video corresponding to the portions of the transcript that match the search criteria may also be indicated, enabling rapid navigation to those locations/play times. | 11-21-2013 |
