VIDEO SOUND CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240244298 titled 'VIDEO SOUND CONTROL
The patent application describes systems and methods for presenting videos in sequence with an automatic video playback graphical user interface (GUI) that can be muted or unmuted.
- The systems and methods determine the current mute state of the GUI, allowing or preventing the output of audio associated with the playback of the videos.
- An indicator is conditionally presented to visually inform the user of the mute state while an individual video is being played.
- This innovation aims to enhance the user experience by providing clear visual cues about the audio status during video playback.
- The technology ensures that users are aware of whether audio is enabled or disabled while watching videos in sequence.
Potential Applications:
- Online video streaming platforms
- Digital signage displays
- Multimedia presentations
Problems Solved:
- Uncertainty about audio status during video playback
- Lack of clear indicators for mute state in video interfaces
Benefits:
- Improved user experience
- Enhanced accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments
- Clear communication of audio status during video playback
Commercial Applications:
- Digital advertising displays
- Video conferencing software
- Online education platforms
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or publications in the field of user interface design for multimedia playback.
Frequently Updated Research: Research on user interface design, accessibility features, and multimedia technology advancements may be relevant to this technology.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system determine the current mute state of the GUI? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for individuals with hearing impairments?
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods are provided for presenting videos. the systems and methods access a video playback graphical user interface (gui) that automatically plays back a plurality of videos in sequence. the systems and methods determine, by the one or more processors, a current mute state of the video playback gui, a disabled mute state allowing output of audio associated with the playback of the plurality of videos, and an enabled mute state preventing the output of the audio associated with the playback of the plurality of videos. the systems and methods conditionally present an indicator that visually informs a user that audio is currently in the enabled mute state while an individual video of the plurality of videos is being played back based on the current mute state of the gui.
