20220394323 · 2022-12-08 ·

Systems and methods for generating supplemental audio for an audio-only mode are disclosed. For example, a system generates for output a content item that includes video and audio. In response to determining that an audio-only mode is activated, the system determines that a portion of the content item is not suitable to play in the audio-only mode. In response to determining that the portion of the content item is not suitable to play in the audio-only mode, the system generates for output supplemental audio associated with the content item during the portion of the content item.

Systems and methods for intelligent media content segmentation and analysis

There is provided a system including a non-transitory memory storing an executable code and a hardware processor executing the executable code to receive a media content including a plurality of frames, divide the media content into a plurality of shots, each of the plurality of shots including a plurality of frames of the media content based on a first similarity between the plurality of frames, determine a plurality of sequential shots of the plurality of shots to be part of a first sub-scene of a plurality of sub-scenes of a scene based on a timeline continuity of the plurality of sequential shots, identify each of the plurality of shots of the media content and each of the plurality of sub-scenes with a corresponding beginning time code and a corresponding ending time code.

Mass media presentations with synchronized audio reactions

Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a plurality of audio reactions from a plurality of client devices. The audio reactions are captured by microphones on the client devices and are time-stamped. The method also includes mixing the audio reactions by a mixer server to form a mixed audio reaction, and sending the mixed audio reaction to at least one of the client devices. The client device is adapted to play the mixed audio reaction and a mass media presentation. The mixed audio reaction and the mass media presentation are synchronized to create an audience effect for the mass media presentation. The present technology also provides echo removal, volume balancing, compression, and time stamping of an audio stream by the client device. Reactions from at least one of buttons and gestures to activate synthesized sounds, for example clapping, booing, and cheering, which are mixed into the mixed audio reaction.

VIDEO ANNOTATION FOR PREPARATION OF CONSUMABLE ITEMS

A processing system including at least one processor may capture a video of a preparation area for a consumable item, may identify at least one item in the video, the at least one item comprising at least one of: at least one ingredient of the consumable item, or at least one tool for preparing the consumable item, and may identify annotation content for the at least one item. The processing system may then modify the video to generate a modified video that includes a visual marker associated with the annotation content and present the modified video via a device associated with a user to be served the consumable item.

Method and system for generation and playback of supplemented videos
11516551 · 2022-11-29 · ·

The present invention is a method and system for generation and playback of supplemented videos which include interactive features. The supplemented video includes hotspots that allow a video viewer to interact with the video when the video viewer sees an object. The hotspots can be manually defined. Information regarding the object and the hotspot can be stored in a separate XML file. Furthermore, the present invention can be a marketplace where a desired object can be found by searching the XML file. The search results can list the supplemented videos which contain hotspots corresponding to the object and also the time in the supplemented video in which the object is found. The present invention can also aggregate data about the objects based on the playback of the supplemented videos and the video viewer's interaction with the supplemented videos.

Methods and systems for supplementing media assets during fast-access playback operations
11516546 · 2022-11-29 · ·

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that enhances the viewer experience by providing supplemental content related to a media asset during a fast-access playback operation. For example, in response to a user input during a fast-forward or rewind operation, the media guidance application may generate for display supplemental content related to the progression point of the media asset at which the user input was received while the fast-forward or rewind operation continues.

Systems and methods for generating a media-based result to an ambiguous query

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.

Electronic apparatus and control method thereof

An electronic apparatus includes a communication interface, a display, and a processor configured to, based on a content being received from a source apparatus via the communication interface, obtain feature information of the received content, and transmit the obtained feature information to an external server, receive, from the external server, identification information of the content, the identification information being obtained based on the transmitted feature information, based on a predetermined mode of the display being turned on according to a signal that is received from the source apparatus via the communication interface, obtain information regarding a first time point when the predetermined mode is turned on, and based on the predetermined mode of the display being turned off, obtain information regarding a second time point when the predetermined mode is turned off after the first time point.

Data repository for sports and entertainment information

A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product provide/deliver information during a live broadcast. Information feeds (that include attributes and values) are ingested via a plug-in architecture, into an application server. The application server drives the information feeds into a database, and distributes the attributes to a web server. The web server exposes, using a web service, the attributes clients. The web service enables clients to select a set of the attributes and configure, for visual display, the values corresponding to the selected set of the attributes. The values are composited in real-time, based on the configuration, with live audio-video content. The composited elements and live audio-video content are broadcast/streamed live.
