Abstract: An electronic device and method for generation of closed captions based on various visual and non-visual elements in content is disclosed. The electronic device receives media content including video content and audio content associated with the video content. The electronic device generates a first text based on a speech-to-text analysis of the audio content. The electronic device further generates a second text which describes audio elements of a scene associated with the media content. The audio elements are different from a speech component of the audio content. The electronic device further generates closed captions for the video content, based on the first text and the second text and controls a display device to display the closed captions.

Abstract: An electronic device and method for emergency alert message detection based on audio-video information is disclosed. The electronic device receives first media content received over a first broadcast channel. The electronic device renders second media content, which is different from the first media content. The electronic device further detects, from the received first media content, a set of objects associated with a geo-location corresponding to the electronic device. The set of objects corresponds to an emergency at the geo-location. The electronic device further detects an emergency alert audio in the received first media content. The electronic device further extracts an emergency alert message received over a second broadcast channel associated with the geo-location based on the detected set of objects and the emergency alert audio in the received first media content. The electronic device further renders an emergency alert signal associated with the emergency alert message.

Abstract: An electronic device and method are provided for display of signing video through an adjustable user interface (UI) element. The electronic device receives a first media stream that includes a video. The electronic device determines a location of a signer in the video. The electronic device extracts a video portion that corresponds to the determined location in the video. The electronic device controls a playback of the video on the display device. The electronic device controls the display device based on the playback to render the UI element on the display device and display the extracted video portion inside the UI element.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus and method for retransmission of signals using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes a controller to control a movement of a UAV to a location within a signal coverage area associated with a remote transmitter. The electronic apparatus further includes receiver circuitry disposed on the UAV to receive a first signal from the remote transmitter. The first signal corresponds to a first wireless communication standard. The electronic apparatus further includes a signal processor to process the first signal to obtain a second signal and transmission circuitry to control one or more antennas disposed on the UAV to transmit a beam of the second signal to an electronic device that includes one or more receivers. The second signal corresponds to a second wireless communication standard which is same as or different from the first wireless communication standard.

Abstract: A content distribution system and method for distribution-side generation of captions is disclosed. The content distribution system receives media content including video content and audio content associated with the video content and generates a first text based on a speech-to-text analysis of the audio content. The content distribution system further generates a second text that describes audio elements of a scene associated with the media content. The audio elements are different from a speech component of the audio content. The content distribution system further generates captions for the video content based on the first text and the second text and transmits the generated captions to an electronic device via an Over-the-Air (OTA) signal, via a cable, or via a streaming Internet connection.

Abstract: A system and method for signaling changes in aspect ratio of media content is provided. The system acquires a video stream to be transmitted to an electronic device and determines aspect ratio information associated with content included in the video stream. The system further determines a change in an aspect ratio of the content based on the aspect ratio information. The change in the aspect ratio may be from a first value at a first timestamp to a second value at a second timestamp for a duration of the content. The system signals information indicative of the determined change to the electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic device and method for delivery of extended emergency notifications through sensory feedback is provided. The electronic device receives a signal from an Emergency Alert System (EAS) that includes one or more of a broadcast system or an Internet-based system. The electronic device extracts emergency information from the received signal. Thereafter, the electronic device determines an external device that is communicatively coupled to the electronic device. The electronic device controls the external device to generate a type of sensory feedback that corresponds to an emergency alert. The type of sensory feedback is generated based on at least a portion of the emergency information.
