Publication number: 20220148614Abstract: Techniques and computing devices are described that automatically caption content directly from audio data being output from content sources, unlike other captioning systems which often rely on information contained in audio signals being sent to speakers. The disclosed techniques and computing devices may analyze metadata to determine whether the audio data is suitable for captioning or whether the audio data is some other type of audio data. Responsive to identifying audio data for captioning, the disclosed techniques and computing devices can generate a description of audible sounds interpreted from the audio data, providing for the automatic captioning of content and making audible content accessible to many users who have difficulty hearing or are otherise unable to listen to content.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2019Publication date: May 12, 2022Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Asa Jonas Ivry Block, Elliott Charles Burford, Anthony Felice Tripaldi, Stefanie Bianca Pitaro, Heather Patricia Luipold, Brian Kemler, Kelsie Hope Van Deman, Nadav Bar, Robert James Berry, Daniel Cohen, Michelle Ramanovich, Thomas Weedon Hume, Nicole Kiana Bleuel, Benjamin Schlesinger, Justin Wooyoung Lee, Kevin Rocard, Eric Laurent

Publication number: 20190035054Abstract: At least one general aspect can include a method of receiving an animation from an animation memory and selecting a character from a plurality of displayed characters. The character can include at least one of a head, a body, or a limb. The method can include applying the animation to the character to generate a customized character having the animation, and trigger posting of the customized character having the animation using an application.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2018Publication date: January 31, 2019Inventors: Asa Jonas Ivry Block, Suzanne Chambers, George Michael Brower, Igor Clark, Richard The

Patent number: 10089715Abstract: A graphic character object temporary storage stores parameters of a character and associated default values in a hierarchical data structure and one or more animation object data represented in a hierarchical data structure, the one or more animation object data having an associated animation, the graphic character object temporary storage and the animation object data being part of a local memory of a computer system. A method includes receiving a vector graphic object having character part objects which are represented as geometric shapes, displaying a two dimensional character, changing the scale of a part of the displayed two dimensional character, and storing an adjusted parameter in the graphic character object temporary storage as a percentage change from the default value, displaying a customized two dimensional character, applying keyframe data in an associated animation object data to the character parts objects, and displaying an animation according to the keyframe data.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Asa Jonas Ivry Block, Suzanne Chambers, George Michael Brower, Igor Clark, Richard The

Patent number: 9665972Abstract: A framework includes a scene display section configured to display a scene that includes a background layer, a video layer, and a three dimensional graphics layer on top of the video layer; and a rendering module configured as a gatekeeper that adds and removes objects to be included for rendering in the three dimensional graphics layer. The framework includes a video module configured to track playback timing of the video; and a moment module, for creating a data model for a moment having a start time, end time, identifier, and a state, configured to update the state of the moment based on the video playback timing, identified by the identifier and in accordance with the start time and the end time. Objects that are added to be included in rendering, check the state of an associated the moment, and when the state of the moment is enabled, update their display state.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Asa Jonas Ivry Block, George Michael Brower, Richard The, Suzanne Chambers, Igor Clark, Glenn Cochon, Isaac Blankensmith, Phillip Stockton, Kyle Philips
