  • Publication number: 20210352380
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for transforming audio-video data includes automatically detecting substantially all discrete human-perceivable messages encoded in the audio-video data, determining a semantic encoding for each of the detected messages, assigning a time code to each of the encodings correlated to specific frames of the audio-video data, and recording a data structure relating each time code to a corresponding one of the semantic encodings in a recording medium. The method may further include converting extracted recorded vocal instances from the audio-video data into a text data, generating a dubbing list comprising the text data and the time code, assigning a set of annotations corresponding to the one or more vocal instances specifying one or more creative intents, generating the scripting data comprising the dubbing list and the set of annotations, and other optional operations. An apparatus may be programmed to perform the method by executable instructions for the foregoing operations.

  • Patent number: 10610310
    Abstract: A surgical user interface system and methods, involving: an interface having at least one overlay element of: at least one menu bar, at least one tab, at least one sidebar, at least one window, at least one icon; at least one graphical control element, at least one haptic control element, and at least one voice control element, the interface configured to: communicate with at least one surgical system, the at least one surgical system having at least one of an imaging system, a guidance system, a control system, a tracking system, a navigation system, a drive system, and a voice recognition system; display information corresponding to at least one surgical parameter of the at least one surgical system; overlay a real-time streaming image from the imaging system; receive input by way of the at least one overlay element; transmit the input to the at least one surgical system; and update, in real-time, the at least one overlay element in response to a change in the at least one surgical parameter.
