SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC GENERATION OF CHARTS IN A PERSONALIZED VIDEO

A method and/or system for dynamic generation of charts in a personalized video content is disclosed. A client device may receive user data, a video template and a metadata associated with the video template over a computer network. The dynamic generation of the personalized video is performed at the client device by transforming the user data to a graphical overlay elements using charting libraries by generating an enriched data object based on the user data and the metadata. The graphical overlay elements are overlaid dynamically on top of the video template while playing the video template at the client device.

Handling of video segments in a video stream

There is provided mechanisms for determining a time offset for a video segment of a video stream using metadata. The metadata comprises time information of at least one of a start time and an end time of the video segment. A method is performed by a video network node. The method comprises extracting a first video part and a second video part from the video stream. Each of the first video part and the second video part comprises a common video segment. The method comprises identifying a sequence of video frames in the first video part that represents the common video segment. The method comprises determining the time offset based on a time difference between an end-point frame of the Identify sequence of video identified sequence of video frames and the time information in the metadata.

Method and system for encoding and decoding mulsemedia streams

The method and system of the present invention provides Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH)-based Adaptive Rich Media Delivery Solution (DASH-ARM) which performs adaptive delivery of mulsemedia content by improving the perceived QoE levels which improves user's sense of reality. In its dynamic adjustment of multiple sensorial content characteristics, DASH-ARM performs a trade-off between video quality and presence of diverse other sensorial components which include components such as haptic, olfaction and wind. This trade-off relies on the fact that the presence of other sensorial components has a masking effect on potential audio/video quality variations. DASH-ARM is complemented by an adaptive multi-sensory media stream (mulsemedia) which synchronizes at the user device, where the multimedia content and mulsemedia comprises diverse sensorial stimuli.

Differential media presentation descriptions for video streaming

In some embodiments, a method sends a first instance of a media presentation description to a client for a first set of segments of a media presentation. The first instance of the media presentation description includes status information based on the first set of segments in the media presentation. A request is received for an update to the media presentation description where the request includes the status information. The method uses the status information to identify a latest segment that the client has already received in the media presentation. Then, the method sends a second instance of the media presentation description for a second set of segments that occur after the latest segment in the media presentation as an update to the first instance of the media presentation description. The second instance of the media presentation description excludes at least a portion of information for first set of segments.

Programmatic ingestion and STB delivery in ad auction environments

The disclosed technology teaches streamlining use of Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) 130 framework for delivery of addressable advertising, via a campaign management delegate system that carries out a method that includes receiving an ad management service placement request from a broadcast cable provider for ad insertion into a program and conducting real time bidding for ad insertion during the program. The disclosed method also includes accepting new content provided by a successful bidder, after receiving the placement request and automatically formatting the new content, and uploading the new content to the broadcast cable provider in time for playback with content that prompted the placement request. The method includes responding to the placement request with a placement response that includes a VMAP as reference to the new content. New content can also be uploaded to a CIS managed by the cable provider or provided on behalf of the provider.

TEXT-TO-AUDIO FOR INTERACTIVE VIDEOS USING A MARKUP LANGUAGE
20210185412 · 2021-06-17 ·

A device configured to receive a video request that includes animation instructions for a video scene. The animation instructions identify one or more animations associated with the video scene. The device is further configured to identify a first animation from the one or more animations associated with the video scene and to determine that the first animation is configured for text-to-audio. The device is further configured to identify text associated with the first animation and to convert the text associated with the first animation into an audio sample. The device is further configured to associate the audio sample with an animation identifier for the first animation in an audio sample buffer. The device is further configured to associate a timestamp with a source scene identifier for the video scene and the animation identifier for the first animation in the video timing map.
