Abstract
Disclosed herein are various embodiments for providing content searching for people with visual impairments or blindness. An embodiment operates by receiving a command to search multimedia content including both video content and audio content. One or more scene changes, including a first scene change, corresponding to the video content are determined. The search command is executed on the multimedia content. It is detected that the multimedia content has reached the first scene change responsive to the executing the search command. An audio cue t is audibly output responsive to the detection.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- receiving a search command to search multimedia content being played comprising both video content and audio content;
- identifying one or more scene changes corresponding to the video content based on crowdsourced scene change markers, wherein the crowdsourced scene change markers are identified based on a point value assigned based on interactions of a plurality of users with the video content, wherein the point value corresponds to a post-interaction time of an interaction of the interactions, wherein a longer post-interaction time corresponds to a higher point value;
- executing the search command on the multimedia content;
- and
- during an execution of the search command:
- detecting that the multimedia content has reached a first scene change of the one or more scene changes;
- and
- audibly outputting an audio cue responsive to the detecting the first scene change.
A system, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to at least one of the memories and configured to perform instructions, the instructions comprising:
- receiving a search command to search multimedia content comprising both video content and audio content;
- identifying one or more scene changes corresponding to the video content based on crowdsourced scene change markers, wherein the crowdsourced scene change markers are identified based on a point value assigned based on interactions of a plurality of users with the video content, wherein the point value corresponds to a post-interaction time of an interaction of the interactions, wherein a longer post-interaction time corresponds to a higher point value;
- executing the search command on the multimedia content;
- and
- during an execution of the search command:
- detecting that the multimedia content has reached a first scene change of the one or more scene changes;
- and
- audibly outputting an audio cue responsive to the detecting.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a search command to search multimedia content comprising both video content and audio content;
- identifying one or more scene changes corresponding to the video content based on crowdsourced scene change markers, wherein the crowdsourced scene change markers are identified based on a point value assigned based on interactions of a plurality of users with the video content, wherein the point value corresponds to a post-interaction time of an interaction of the interactions, wherein a longer post-interaction time corresponds to a higher point value;
- executing the search command on the multimedia content;
- and
- during an execution of the search command:
- detecting that the multimedia content has reached a first scene change of the one or more scene changes;
- and
- audibly outputting an audio cue responsive to the detecting.
