摘要： A method and apparatus for use in connection with home television receivers involving processing an electronic signal, including audio and video processors; the audio information, including digital representations thereof, is analyzed and modified to compare words and phrases represented in the audio information with words and phrases stored in electronic memory for elimination of undesirable words or phrases in audible or visible representations of the audio with options for replacing undesirable words with acceptable words. The options include varying degrees of selectivity in specifying words as undesirable and control over substitute words which are used to replace undesirable words. The options for control of the method and apparatus for language filtering are selectable from an on-screen menu through use of a conventional television remote transmitter. Full capability of the method and apparatus depends only on presence of closed caption or similar digitally-encoded language information being received with a television signal special instructions transmitted with a television signal may also be responded to for activating particular language libraries customizing a library for the program material, as well as unrelated viewer information and control functions.

摘要： A method and an apparatus for use in connection with home television video recording, playback, and viewing involving processing an electronic signal, including audio and video information, whereby the audio information, including digital representations thereof, is analyzed and modified to compare words and phrases represented in the audio information with words and phrases stored in electronic memory for elimination of undesirable words or phrases in audible or visible representations of the audio with options for replacing undesirable words with acceptable words. The options include varying degrees of selectivity in specifying words as undesirable and control over substitute words which are used to replace undesirable words. The options for control of the method and apparatus for language filtering are selectable from an on-screen menu through operation of a control panel on the language filter apparatus or by use of a conventional television remote transmitter. Full capability of the method and apparatus depends only on presence of closed caption or similar digitally-encoded language information being received with a television signal but special instructions transmitted with a television signal may also be responded to for activating particular language libraries or customizing a library for the program material.

摘要翻译： 一种用于与家用电视录像，回放和观看有关的方法和装置，涉及处理包括音频和视频信息的电子信号，由此分析和修改包括其数字表示在内的音频信息以比较词和短语 在音频信息中用存储在电子存储器中的单词和短语表示，以消除具有用可替代词替代不期望词的选项的音频的可听或可视表示中的不期望的单词或短语。 这些选项包括将词语指定为不合需要的不同程度的选择性，以及用于替代不希望有的词语的替代词语的控制。 用于语言过滤的方法和装置的控制选项可以通过在语言过滤装置上操作控制面板的屏幕菜单或通过使用传统的电视遥控发射器进行选择。 方法和装置的完整能力仅取决于是否存在用电视信号接收的隐藏字幕或类似的数字编码语言信息，但是也可以响应用电视信号发送的特殊指令来激活特定语言库或定制库 程序材料。
