The invention relates to a method for providing a description of a program to a user equipment, comprising: receiving a set of text fields associated with the program; selecting a subset of text fields from the set of text fields based on a profile of a user and/or a profile of the user equipment; ordering the selected subset of text fields based on the profile of a user and/or the profile of the user equipment; editing the description of the program based on the ordered subset of text fields; and providing the description of the program to the user equipment.

A unified system of programming communication. The system encompasses the prior art (television, radio, broadcast hardcopy, computer communications, etc.) and new user specific mass media. Within the unified system, parallel processing computer systems, each having an input (e.g., 77) controlling a plurality of computers (e.g., 205), generate and output user information at receiver stations. Under broadcast control, local computers (73, 205), combine user information selectively into prior art communications to exhibit personalized mass media programming at video monitors (202), speakers (263), printers (221), etc. .[.At intermediate transmission stations (e.g., cable television stations), signals in network broadcasts and from local inputs (74, 77, 97, 98) cause control processors (71) and computers (73) to selectively automate connection and operation of receivers (53), recorder/players (76), computers (73), generators (82), strippers (81), etc..]. At receiver stations, signals in received transmissions and from local inputs (225, 218, 22) cause control processors (200) and computers (205) to automate connection and operation of converters (201), tuners (215), decryptors (224), recorder/players (217), computers (205), furnaces (206), etc. Processors (71, 200) meter and monitor availability and usage of programming.

Provided are systems and methods for augmenting audio/video content with enhanced interactive content. Events are detected in the audio/video content and contextual information is determined corresponding to the events using enhanced metadata and content-specific data. Indicators are displayed to indicate the occurrence of an event and the information about the event is provided.

Original transmitters of television broadcast content, such as national broadcasters, may tunnel various data such as SCTE-35 messages through a special closed captioning service before handoff to their local affiliates. The tunneled SCTE-35 messages may thus survive the re-encoding of both the local broadcaster to an over-the-air (OTA) retransmission, and re-encoding by any subsequent cable or satellite television providers as well. An uplink center and television service provider (e.g., a cable or satellite system) may receive the transport stream from the local broadcaster, may strip out the tunneled SCTE-35 messages from extra closed captioning streams at the uplink, re-create the SCTE-35, and then process it at the uplink of the satellite system, for example, by performing ad insertion, re-muxing the SCTE-35 for the satellite broadcast, and/or modifying it and sending it over the satellite broadcast on a separate PID to the set top boxes for those STBs for ad insertion.

System and methods for finding and analyzing targeted content from audio and video content sources, including means and methods for extracting captions from audio and video content sources; searching the captions for a mention of at least one target; extracting audio and video segments relating to the at least one target; delivering extracted audio and video segments to a user device; harvesting social media data relevant to the at least one target; analyzing the search results in correlation with the social media data for target content.

Subject matter disclosed herein relates to video content editing, and in particular, to video review workflow.

The disclosed embodiments provide a method and device for live text broadcasting of a match. The method for live text broadcasting of a match comprises: receiving match data for a current match in real time; generating real-time utterances for live broadcasting used for describing the current match data with more human-like sentiment according to historical live broadcasting utterances used for describing match data in historical matches with human-like sentiment; and outputting the real-time live broadcasting utterances. The disclosed embodiments can conduct live text broadcasting of a match with human-like cadence, thus improving the quality of the live text broadcasting of a match.

A system and method for selectively utilizing an over-the-air broadcast source to provide low-latency content as an alternative to conventional over-the-top sourced content. The disclosed technology can provide automatic switching to an available low-latency content source, or switch to a low-latency source only after a user affirmatively elects such. The system and method are implemented utilizing standard premises equipment, and enable the insertion of regional commercial messages into the low-latency content stream prior to viewing.
