  • Publication number: 20240135973
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for identifying candidate boundaries for video segments, video segment selection using those boundaries, and text-based video editing of video segments selected via transcript interactions. In an example implementation, boundaries of detected sentences and words are extracted from a transcript, the boundaries are retimed into an adjacent speech gap to a location where voice or audio activity is a minimum, and the resulting boundaries are stored as candidate boundaries for video segments. As such, a transcript interface presents the transcript, interprets input selecting transcript text as an instruction to select a video segment with corresponding boundaries selected from the candidate boundaries, and interprets commands that are traditionally thought of as text-based operations (e.g., cut, copy, paste) as an instruction to perform a corresponding video editing operation using the selected video segment.

  • Publication number: 20240134909
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for a visual and text search interface used to navigate a video transcript. In an example embodiment, a freeform text query triggers a visual search for frames of a loaded video that match the freeform text query (e.g., frame embeddings that match a corresponding embedding of the freeform query), and triggers a text search for matching words from a corresponding transcript or from tags of detected features from the loaded video. Visual search results are displayed (e.g., in a row of tiles that can be scrolled to the left and right), and textual search results are displayed (e.g., in a row of tiles that can be scrolled up and down). Selecting (e.g., clicking or tapping on) a search result tile navigates a transcript interface to a corresponding portion of the transcript.

  • Publication number: 20240134597
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for a question search for meaningful questions that appear in a video. In an example embodiment, an audio track from a video is transcribed, and the transcript is parsed to identify sentences that end with a question mark. Depending on the embodiment, one or more types of questions are filtered out, such as short questions less than a designated length or duration, logistical questions, and/or rhetorical questions. As such, in response to a command to perform a question search, the questions are identified, and search result tiles representing video segments of the questions are presented. Selecting (e.g., clicking or tapping on) a search result tile navigates a transcript interface to a corresponding portion of the transcript.

  • Publication number: 20240127858
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for annotating transcript text with video metadata, and including thumbnail bars in the transcript to help users select a desired portion of a video through transcript interactions. In an example embodiment, a video editing interface includes a transcript interface that presents a transcript with transcript text that is annotated to indicate corresponding portions of the video where various features were detected (e.g., annotating via text stylization of transcript text and/or labeling the transcript text with a textual representation of a corresponding detected feature class). In some embodiments, the transcript interface displays a visual representation of detected non-speech audio or pauses (e.g., a sound bar) and/or video thumbnails corresponding to each line of transcript text (e.g., a thumbnail bar).

  • Publication number: 20240126994
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for segmenting a transcript into paragraphs. In an example embodiment, a transcript is segmented to start a new paragraph whenever there is a change in speaker and/or a long pause in speech. If any remaining paragraphs are longer than a designated length or duration (e.g., 50 or 100 words), each of those paragraphs is segmented using dynamic programming to minimize a cost function that penalizes candidate paragraphs based on divergence from a target paragraph length and/or that rewards candidate paragraphs that group semantically similar sentences. As such, the transcript is visualized, segmented at the identified paragraphs.

  • Publication number: 20240127855
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for selection of the best image of a particular speaker's face in a video, and visualization in a diarized transcript. In an example embodiment, candidate images of a face of a detected speaker are extracted from frames of a video identified by a detected face track for the face, and a representative image of the detected speaker's face is selected from the candidate images based on image quality, facial emotion (e.g., using an emotion classifier that generates a happiness score), a size factor (e.g., favoring larger images), and/or penalizing images that appear towards the beginning or end of a face track. As such, each segment of the transcript is presented with the representative image of the speaker who spoke that segment and/or input is accepted changing the representative image associated with each speaker.

  • Patent number: 11923678
    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for power fault management that operates without power-source-side switching. A power transmitter is configured to provide power to a current loop, and a power receiver is configured to receive the power from the current loop. The power receiver is configured to, on a periodic basis, disconnect from the current loop to stop pulling power from current loop for a period of time to enable a safety check to be performed by the power transmitter. The power transmitter is configured to monitor current on the current loop, determine whether the current level on the current loop passes the safety check within a predetermined time interval since a determination that the current level was not within a safe range, and control connectivity of the power to the current loop based on whether the safety check has or has not passed within the predetermined time interval.
