System for synchronization of captioning to smart devices

An automatic personal enhancement system that is tailored to each user's special access needs comprising:

• a. at least one presentation device, wherein the at least one presentation device is a multimedia device;
• b. at least one onsite node operably connected to the at least one presentation device, wherein the at least one onsite node comprises a user protocol time code message protocol, and wherein the at least one onsite node sends a real-time time-code to the system, over a private local area network;
• c. at least one transmission device operably connected to the at least one onsite node, wherein the at least one transmission device is configured to transmit information to the onsite node wired, wirelessly, or both wired and wirelessly;
• d. a fleet management subsystem that is operably connected to the at least one transmission device;
• e. at least one content database server that is operably connected to the fleet management subsystem;
• f. at least one smart device operably connected to at least one web server;
• and
• g. the at least one web server operably connected to the fleet management subsystem and the at least one content database server, wherein the at least one web server comprises instructions operable on one or more than one processor for:
• 1) identifying a user entering a venue equipped with the system;
• 2) connecting to the show control subsystem;
• 3) selecting a language for multimedia pretensions from the show control subsystem;
• 4) tracking the user's smart device with the personal enhancement system for automatically playing multimedia associated with the location in the venue in proximity to the user's smart device;
• and
• 5) stopping the tracking and disconnecting the personal enhancement system from the user's smart device after the user exits the venue;
• wherein the system further comprises instructions for:
• interpreting timing based solely on listening to an incoming audio feed;
• synchronizing a media source with subtitles or other associated content without the need for onsite node programming or networking, where programming isn't feasible due to complexity, cost, where security is a concern due to legacy media, and where digital time codes are not an available;
• ingesting target media in advance;
• dividing the target media into snippets;
• creating metadata from the snippets;
• uploading the metadata to a data server;
• and
• listening to incoming audio over an analog input port, and the at least one onsite node downloading and comparing the incoming audio to the snippets and metadata;
• wherein the system regularly samples an incoming audio stream and compares the sample to a library of snippets to develop a confidence rating using a cross-correlation algorithm, and wherein the system outputs a time code of the moment of highest correlation across all of the snippets.
