Abstract
Provided is a caption replacement service system and method for servicing an interactive advertisement on a video on demand (VOD). A system for making an annotation may include an annotation creator configured to create annotation information on a moving object included in a video and an annotation player configured to play a preview on the annotation information based on a frame unit or a shot unit of the video. The video and the annotation information may be used to provide an interactive advertisement by replacing a caption system of the video with a meaningful annotation.
Claims12
A caption replacement service method performed by a computer system, the method comprising:
- loading a video to be augmented, wherein the video comprises a series of frames, each frame being a visual image, and the video is not annotated;
- automatically identifying, in at least one visual image frame of the video, a location in the visual image containing an image of text that comprises textual information and that is original to the video;
- evaluating the image of text with image text cognition to determine a content of the textual information;
- determining whether the content of the textual information contains non-current information based on a current context making a meaning of the content outdated, the non-current information being selected from the group consisting of:
- a news issue, a broadcast schedule, weather information, market information, trademark information, a displayed caption in a human language, and displayed time information;
- automatically adding, in response to a determination that the content of the textual information contains non-current information, an augmented virtual object area at the location on the video frame of the textual information, the augmented virtual object area comprising an augmentation overlay that hides the non-current information of the content of the textual information;
- dynamically selecting an interactive advertisement based on a profile of a user;
- dynamically overlaying the interactive advertisement at the location of the non-current information on top of the augmented virtual object area of the loaded video;
- and
- storing information on the added augmented virtual object area, the stored information being used to identify the augmented virtual object area when playing the video.
