  • Patent number: 11463779
    Abstract: A video stream processing method is provided. First audio stream data in live video stream data is obtained. Speech recognition is performed on the first audio stream data to generate speech recognition text. Caption data is generated according to the speech recognition text, the caption data including caption text and time information corresponding to the caption text. The caption text is added to a corresponding picture frame in the live video stream data according to the time information corresponding to the caption text to generate captioned live video stream data.

  • Patent number: 11324456
    Abstract: An in-ear optical sensor device sits deep within the ear canal of a subject such that is in the cartilaginous region and/or the bony region of the ear canal where effects from temporomandibular joint activity or other movement, and external light, are limited. The device has a lateral housing and a medial articulating head joined at an articulation joint so that the medial articulating head may be angled relative to the lateral housing to help the device fit within tortuous ear canals. The device also includes a seal configured to conform to the shape of the ear canal to physically support the device to further limit movement and block environmental light. An audio receiver is also included in the device.

  • Patent number: 11153658
    Abstract: This application discloses an image display method performed at a terminal device. While playing a multimedia resource and after detecting that a target operation is performed on a playback progress bar of the multimedia resource, the terminal device obtains a target playback time point at which a target operation is to be performed on the playback progress bar in the multimedia resource. The terminal device determines a target region corresponding to the target playback time point in a target image, the target image comprising a plurality of regions, each region having a correspondence with a respective one of a plurality of playback time points of the multimedia resource, and displays a portion of the target image corresponding to the target region adjacent the playback progress bar. This application resolves the technical problem of relatively low image display efficiency in related art.
