PLAYBACK CONTROL OF AUDIO CONTENT BASED ON AD-RELATED RESTRICTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240276071 titled 'PLAYBACK CONTROL OF AUDIO CONTENT BASED ON AD-RELATED RESTRICTIONS
Simplified Explanation: This patent application describes an electronic apparatus and method for controlling the playback of audio content based on ad-related restrictions. The apparatus identifies advertisement audio within the audio content and ensures that it remains inaudible during playback.
- The electronic apparatus acquires audio content associated with multimedia content on a display device.
- It extracts an audio portion from the content and generates audio features based on analysis.
- By comparing these features with information in a database of advertisement content, it identifies advertisement audio.
- The apparatus determines the location of the advertisement audio in the playback timeline and controls the playback to make the advertisement audio inaudible.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Acquiring audio content associated with multimedia content.
- Extracting and analyzing audio portions to generate audio features.
- Identifying advertisement audio based on database comparison.
- Controlling playback to ensure inaudibility of advertisement audio.
