A method of constructing a positioning DB performed by an apparatus for constructing the positioning DB, may comprise: extracting a plurality of local features from a plurality of keyframes capturing a predetermined region; determining an individual 3D keypoint including information on a 3-dimensional position of each of the plurality of local features; clustering the plurality of local features into a plurality of clusters based on the individual 3D keypoint; determining a representative position information representatively indicating a position of each of the plurality of clusters by using the individual 3D keypoint of the local feature included in each of the plurality of clusters; and storing, for each of the plurality of keyframes, an cluster identification for identifying each of the plurality of clusters and the representative position information of each of the plurality of clusters in the positioning DB.

The present disclosure provides video playback methods and apparatuses, computer-readable storage media, and electronic devices for video playback, which may reduce the search waiting time for a user during video playback. The video playback method may include: determining a time range for an initial incremental search according to a target playback timing retrieving a video file in each of the at least two search segments in a search sequence determined according to a preset search rule in a way that when a video file is retrieved from one of the at least two search segments, determining whether the video file satisfies a playback condition, when the video file satisfies the playback condition, playing the video file, and, when retrieving video file from one of the search segments is completed, continuing to retrieve a video file from a remaining search segment that has not been searched in the search sequence.

Aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for generating queries and transcribing video resumes. An exemplary apparatus includes at least a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the processor to receive, from a posting generator, a plurality of posting inputs from a plurality of postings, receive a video resume from a user, generate a plurality of queries as a function of the video resume based on a plurality of posting categories, transcribe, as a function of the plurality of queries, a plurality of user inputs from the video resume, wherein the plurality of user inputs is related to attributes of a user, and classify the plurality of user inputs to the plurality of posting inputs to match the user to the plurality of postings.

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a display, a processor and memory. The processor may implement the method, including analyzing, by a processor, a first video to identify any characters included in the first video, displaying one or more icons representing one or more characters identified in the first video via a display, receiving, by input circuitry, a first user input selecting a first icon representing a first character from among the one or more icons, based on the first user input, selecting image frames of the first video that include the first character from among image frames included in the first video, and generating, by the processor, a second video including the selected image frames. A second embodiment includes automatically selecting images from a gallery including one or more characters for generation of a video.

Systems and methods are described for providing a reply to a query related to a media asset. A query may be received from a user while the media asset is being played on a first device, and in response to determining that the query is related to the media asset, a snapshot of the media asset may be captured, where the snapshot comprises a depiction of a first object and a second object, and the snapshot may be generated for display at a second device. In response to determining there is ambiguity whether the query is related to the first or second object, a disambiguating query based on the first and second objects of the snapshot may be generated for simultaneous output with the snapshot. In response to receiving a reply to the disambiguating query, a response to the query may be generated for output based on the reply.

A user device transmit a natural language query with a request for a description of videos stored in a media repository. A query system receives the query and determines a command associated with obtaining the requested description of the videos stored in the media repository requested by the query. The determined command corresponds to an image analysis to perform on at least a portion of the stored videos. The query system determines, based at least in part on the determined command, an artificial intelligence model to execute on at least the portion of the stored videos. The query system determines, by executing the determined artificial intelligence model, a model output that includes the requested description of the videos stored in the media repository. The query system provides a response to the query. The response includes the requested description of the videos stored in the media repository.

Systems and methods are described herein for providing a search result based on an ambiguous voice query. The system comprises receiving an ambiguous voice query relating to an object from a user, retrieving a viewing history of the user for about a list of media assets viewed by the user, determining, from the list of media asset, a media asset that is likely to contain the object based at least in part on metadata of the media asset and the ambiguous voice query, searching content of the determined media asset to identify a segment within the media asset that contains the object, and generating a display of information about the object identified from the segment.
