Particular embodiments provide supplemental content that may be related to video content that a user is watching. A segment of closed-caption text from closed-captions for the video content is determined. A first set of information from the segment of closed-caption text, such as terms may be extracted. Particular embodiments use an external source that can be determined from a set of external sources. To determine the supplemental content, particular embodiments may extract a second set of information from the external source. Because the external source may be more robust and include more text than the segment of closed-caption text, the second set of information may include terms that better represent the segment of closed-caption text. Particular embodiments thus use the second set of information to determine supplemental content for the video content, and can provide the supplemental content to a user watching the video content.

A subtitle processing method, comprising: receiving an identification code of a video the uploaded by a client; searching and finding out whether a subtitle file corresponding to the identification code exists or not in a video subtitle mapping database; if the subtitle file corresponding to the identification code is found, returning the subtitle search result to the client; or if no subtitle file corresponding to the identification code is found, searching for another identification code located in the same aggregation result for the identification code from a video aggregation database; according to the other identification code, searching and finding out whether a subtitle file corresponding thereto exists or not in the video subtitle mapping database; and returning the subtitle search result to the client. The above-mentioned subtitle processing method can improve the hit rate when searching for subtitle file. In addition, also provided are a subtitle processing device, a subtitle processing system and a storage medium.

A reception apparatus, including circuitry configured to receive a broadcast stream including audio/video content and a uniform resource identifier (URI). The circuitry is configured to determine whether a command identifier associated with the URI indicates the URI is a location of a server to which service usage information is to be sent. The circuitry is configured to, when the command identifier indicates the URI is the location of the server to which the service usage information is to be sent, associate the URI with the service provider. The circuitry is configured to provide the service usage information to the server according to the associated URI.

The present disclosure is generally directed to a tangible, non-transitory machine-readable medium that includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to receive multimedia content that includes a plurality of multimedia content portions of the multimedia content. The instructions, when executed by the processing circuitry, also cause the processing circuitry to receive text data corresponding to words spoken in the multimedia content. The text data includes a plurality of text data subdivisions of the text data. Moreover, the instructions, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to align the multimedia content and the text data by determining, for each of the plurality of multimedia content portions, a corresponding subdivision of the plurality of text data subdivisions. Furthermore, the instructions, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to cause display of the multimedia content aligned to the text data.

An encoder and a re-packager circuit. The encoder may be configured to generate one or more bitstreams each having (i) a video portion, (ii) a subtitle placeholder channel, and (iii) a plurality of caption channels. The re-packager circuit may be configured to generate one or more re-packaged bitstreams in response to (i) one of the bitstreams and (ii) a selected one of the plurality of caption channels. The re-packaged bitstream moves the selected caption channel into the subtitle placeholder channel.
