EMERGENCY ALERT MESSAGE DETECTION ON ELECTRONIC DEVICE BASED ON AUDIO-VIDEO INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17735725 titled 'EMERGENCY ALERT MESSAGE DETECTION ON ELECTRONIC DEVICE BASED ON AUDIO-VIDEO INFORMATION

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes an electronic device and method for detecting emergency alert messages based on audio-video information.

  • The electronic device receives media content from a broadcast channel.
  • It renders different media content than what is received.
  • It detects a set of objects in the received media content that are associated with the device's location.
  • The set of objects indicates an emergency at the device's location.
  • The device also detects an emergency alert audio in the received media content.
  • It extracts an emergency alert message from a second broadcast channel associated with the device's location, based on the detected set of objects and emergency alert audio.
  • The device then renders an emergency alert signal associated with the emergency alert message.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device and method for emergency alert message detection based on audio-video information is disclosed. The electronic device receives first media content received over a first broadcast channel. The electronic device renders second media content, which is different from the first media content. The electronic device further detects, from the received first media content, a set of objects associated with a geo-location corresponding to the electronic device. The set of objects corresponds to an emergency at the geo-location. The electronic device further detects an emergency alert audio in the received first media content. The electronic device further extracts an emergency alert message received over a second broadcast channel associated with the geo-location based on the detected set of objects and the emergency alert audio in the received first media content. The electronic device further renders an emergency alert signal associated with the emergency alert message.
