Abstract
A method of converting user-selected printed text to a synthesized image sequence is provided. The method includes capturing a first image of printed text and generating a model information associated with the text.
Claims35
A system for converting a textual passage to a synthesized image sequence, comprising:
- processing electronics configured to determine a first textual passage currently being read by a user, to predict a second textual passage that will be read by the user, and to generate a synthesized image sequence associated with the second textual passage.
A system for converting a textual passage to a synthesized image sequence, comprising:
- processing electronics configured to determine a reading speed of a user, to determine a first textual passage currently being read by the user, to predict a second textual passage that will be read by the user based on the reading speed of the user and an amount of text between the first textual passage and the second textual passage, and to generate a synthesized image sequence associated with the second textual passage.
A system for converting a textual passage to a synthesized image sequence, comprising:
- processing electronics configured to determine a first textual passage currently being read by the user, to predict a second textual passage that will be read by the user, to generate a synthesized image sequence associated with the second textual passage at a first quality, to predict a time until the user reads the second textual passage, to predict a time to regenerate the synthesized image sequence at a second quality better than the first quality, to regenerate the synthesized image sequence at the second quality when the predicted time to regenerate the synthesized image sequence at the second quality is less than the predicted time until the user reads the second textual passage, and to predict a third textual passage that will be read by the user when the predicted time to regenerate the synthesized image sequence at the second quality is greater than the predicted time until the user reads the second textual passage.
