Abstract
A video processing device includes a content analyzer that receives a video signal and generates content recognition data based on the video signal, wherein the content recognition data is associated with at least one timestamp included in the video signal. A metadata search device generates time-coded metadata in response to content recognition data and in accordance with the at least one time stamp. A metadata association device generates a processed video signal from the video signal, wherein the processed video signal includes the time-coded metadata.
Claims20
A video processing device comprising:
- a content analyzer that receives a video signal and generates content recognition data based on the video signal, wherein the content recognition data is associated with at least one timestamp included in the video signal and wherein the content recognition data includes at least one keyword generated by recognizing video content in the video signal as corresponding to the at least one keyword;
- and
- a metadata search device, coupled to the content analyzer and at least one external source, that searches for information in response to the content recognition data and generates time-coded metadata in accordance with the at least one timestamp that includes the information and that is associated with selection data, wherein the metadata search device searches the at least one external source, based on the at least one keyword, to identify the information.
A video processing device comprising:
- a content analyzer that receives a video signal and generates content recognition data based on the video signal, wherein the content recognition data is associated with at least one timestamp included in the video signal and wherein the content recognition data includes at least one keyword generated by recognizing video content in the video signal as corresponding to the at least one keyword;
- a metadata search device, coupled to the content analyzer and at least one external source, that searches for information in response to the content recognition data and generates time-coded metadata in accordance with the at least one timestamp that includes the information, wherein the metadata search device searches the at least one external source, based on the at least one keyword, to identify the information;
- and
- a metadata association device that embeds the time-coded metadata in a processed video signal in accordance with selection data that indicates at least one selection criterion.
A method comprising:
- generating content recognition data based on a video signal, wherein the content recognition data is associated with at least one timestamp included in the video signal and wherein the content recognition data includes at least one keyword generated by recognizing video content in the video signal as corresponding to the at least one keyword;
- searching for information from at least one information source in response to the content recognition data based on the at least one keyword, and generating time-coded metadata in accordance with the at least one timestamp, the content recognition data and that includes the information;
- and
- associating the time-coded metadata with selection data that indicates at least one selection criterion.
