Abstract
Description
- The popularity of the Internet, coupled with the increasing capabilities of personal/mobile electronic devices, has provided consumers with the ability to enjoy multimedia content almost anytime and anywhere. For example, live (e.g., sports events) and video on demand (VOD) content (e.g., pre-recorded television shows and movies) can be streamed via the Internet to personal electronic devices (e.g., computers, mobile phones, and Internet-enabled televisions).
- Broadcast television channels typically include one or more closed captioning tracks to make programs more accessible to those that are deaf or hard of hearing. Similarly, movies on digital video discs (DVDs) often include subtitle tracks in multiple languages. However, Internet-accessible content is not typically provided with closed captioning. Moreover, the large number of available closed captioning formats makes it difficult to implement closed captioning systems that are compatible with the various electronic devices and platforms available to consumers, even though government regulations may mandate closed captioning for Internet-accessible content. For example, in the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a rule entitled “Closed Captioning of Internet Protocol-Delivered Video Programming: Implementation of Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010.” Many providers for streaming video may be concerned with only a specific streaming technology, application, or platform. Thus, a single-platform closed captioning system offered by such providers in response to government regulations may not support a large number of users that use different closed captioning formats and may not scale as new closed captioning formats become popular.
- Systems and methods of processing closed captioning data for video on demand content are disclosed. The disclosed systems and methods may support receiving closed captioning data in a variety of embedded and file-based formats and outputting, on-the-fly, closed captioning data in accordance with a variety of output protocols for delivery to a variety of devices and mobile device platforms.
- For example, closed captioning data in one or more languages may be received as a timed text markup language (TTML) file or as part of a motion picture experts group (MPEG)-4 part 14 (MP4) video stream. The closed captioning data may be converted into a platform-independent format (e.g., a platform-independent timed text representation). The data in the platform-independent format may then be converted into a desired output format that is compatible with a streaming protocol to be used to deliver the closed captions (and video stream) to a destination device. If multiple types of devices request closed captions at the same time, multiple closed caption streams may be generated on-the-fly from the platform-independent data. For example, platform-independent captioning data may be used to generate consumer electronics association (CEA)-608 captions that are embedded into a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) live streaming (HLS) stream, action message format (AMF) onTextData events included in a HTTP dynamic streaming (HDS) stream, and/or captions included in a smooth streaming manifest. The described systems and methods may advantageously utilize a plug-in architecture, enabling users to create custom ingesters to convert input captions to the platform-independent format and custom converters to generate output captions from data represented in the platform-independent format.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart to illustrate another particular embodiment of a method of processing closed captioning for video on demand content. -
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a particular embodiment of asystem 100 that is operable to process closed captioning for video on demand content. It should be noted, however, that although various embodiments herein are described with reference to closed captioning (e.g., text intended for those that are deaf or hard of hearing, and therefore including transcriptions of sounds, such as “wind howls” or “knocking on door”), the embodiments may also be used with subtitles (e.g., written translations of dialogue being spoken). Moreover, embodiments described herein may also be used to process and deliver “open” captioning (i.e., captions that appear “hardcoded” into a video stream and therefore cannot be selectively disabled like closed captioning). - The
system 100 includes amedia server 102 that includes one ormore input interfaces 104, one ormore output interfaces 106, and one orprocessors 108. As used herein, the term “media server” may refer to software application(s) that perform media serving and processing, hardware systems (e.g., servers) that support or perform media serving or processing, or any combination thereof. Thus, various operations described with reference to a media server may be implemented using hardware, software (e.g., instructions executable by the processor(s) 108) or any combination thereof. - The input interface(s) 104 may be configured to receive closed captioning data associated with a video on demand (VOD) asset, such as a pre-recorded television show, movie, etc. The incoming closed captioning data may be represented in a first format (e.g., a platform-specific format). In a particular embodiment, the input interface(s) 104 may be wired and/or wireless interfaces that enable the
media server 102 to receive data via a network, such as the Internet. For example, the input interface(s) 104 may include an Ethernet interface, a universal serial bus (USB) interface, a wireless interface compatible with an Institute of Electrical or Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 protocol, etc. For example, the input interface(s) 104 may include a storage device, a file system, network attached storage (NAS), cloud based storage, etc. that is accessible to themedia server 102 via a wired or wireless connection to a network (e.g., the Internet). In some embodiments, such input devices may be accessed without a network connection (e.g., via a direct load operation, a direct electrical link, etc.). - The output interface(s) 106 may be configured to transmit closed captioning data to a destination device (e.g., smartphones, tablet computers, laptop computers, set-top boxes, televisions, portable media players, game consoles, etc.). The outgoing closed captioning data may be represented in a second format (e.g., a second platform-specific format). In a particular embodiment, the output interface(s) 106 may be wired and/or wireless interfaces that enable the
media server 102 to transmit data via a network, such as the Internet. For example, the output interface(s) 106 may include an Ethernet interface, a USB interface, a wireless interface compatible with an IEEE 802.11 protocol, etc. In some embodiments, like the input interface(s) 104, the output interface(s) 106 may include a storage device, a file system, network attached storage (NAS), cloud based storage, etc. that is accessible to themedia server 102 via a wired or wireless connection to a network (e.g., the Internet). Alternately, such output devices may be accessed without a network connection (e.g., via a direct store operation, a direct electrical link, etc.). Thus, various types of input interface(s) 104 and output interface(s) 106 may be supported by themedia server 102. - The
media server 102 may also include various components configured to perform closed caption processing and stream processing functions. For example, themedia server 102 may include one or more ingesters that are executable by the processor(s) 108. Each ingester may be configured to convert closed captioning data that is received via the input interface(s) 104 to a platform-independent format (e.g., a “generic” timed text representation). An illustrative example of a platform-independent format for closed captioning data is further described with reference toFIG. 2 . - One or more of the ingesters may be configured to process closed captioning data that is included in data file(s). For example, a TTML
ingester 110 may be configured to convert closed captioning data that is included in aTTML file 140 received from a first caption source 130 (e.g., themedia server 102 itself, an external caption server, or an external VOD server) from a TTML format to the platform-independent format. The TTMLingester 110 may read and process theTTML file 140 in “chunks” or all at once. Additional ingesters may be provided to process embedded (e.g., “in-stream”) captions. For example, anMP4 ingester 112 may be configured to extract closed captioning data that is embedded in anMP4 VOD stream 142 received from asecond caption source 132 and to convert the extracted closed captioning data to the platform-independent format. TheMP4 VOD stream 142 may include audio and video data associated with the VOD asset as well as timed text information associated with closed captioning for the VOD asset. One or more ingesters may also be configured to receive caption data from an external software system (e.g., software as a service (SaaS)). - In a particular embodiment, the
media server 102 may expose details of the platform-independent format, so that users may define “custom” ingesters (e.g., anillustrative custom ingester 114 that receives custom format closedcaptioning data 144 from a third caption source 134) that can convert closed captioning data from other formats to the platform-independent format. Various embedded formats and file formats may be supported via “built-in” or custom ingesters. For example, the embedded formats may include, but are not limited to, action message format (AMF) onTextData events, consumer electronics association standards (CEA)-608, CEA-708, motion pictures expert group (MPEG)-4 part 17, 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) timed text, digital video broadcasting (DVB) subtitling, sistema brasileiro de televisao digital (SBTVD), digital terrestrial multimedia broadcast (DTMB), and world system teletext (WST). The file formats may include, but are not limited to, scenarist closed captioning (SCC), timed text markup language (TTML), distributed format exchange profile (DFXP), society of motion picture and television engineers (SMPTE) timed text (SMPTE-TT), web video text tracks (WebVTT), SubRip (SRT), synchronized accessible media interchange (SAMI), European broadcasting union (EBU)-STL, and EBU timed text (EBU-TT). - The
media server 102 may include aprocessing module 116 and one ormore storage devices 118. Theprocessing module 116 may perform various VOD stream processing operations, such as video transcoding, aspect ratio conversion, resolution conversion, color space conversion, format conversion, etc. Theprocessing module 116 may also perform closed caption processing operations on closed captioning data that is received from the ingesters 110-114 in the platform-independent format. - The data storage device(s) 118 may include volatile memory (e.g., random access memory (RAM)). Alternately, or in addition, the storage device(s) 118 may include non-volatile memory, such as one or more hard disks. In a particular embodiment, the
processing module 116 may store platform-independent closed captioning data and/or associated VOD assets in the data storage device(s) 118 for subsequent retrieval. Alternately, or in addition, the data storage device(s) 118 may be used to temporarily cache data during stream processing and closed caption processing. Storage and caching of data may be performed in-memory (e.g., to RAM) and/or to hard disk(s). - The
media server 102 may further include one or more converters that are executable by the processor(s) 108. Each converter may be configured to convert closed captioning data that is received from the ingesters 110-114, theprocessing module 116, and/or the storage device(s) 118 from the platform-independent format to a particular output format. Various output formats may be supported by themedia server 102. - For example, a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) live streaming (HLS)
converter 120 may be configured to convert closed captioning data from the platform-independent format into CEA-608 format closed captioning that can be embedded in aHLS stream 160 transmitted to atablet computer 150. TheHLS stream 160 may include all or a portion of a VOD asset associated with the closed captioning. In a particular embodiment, theHLS stream 160 may be used to deliver VOD content and associated closed captioning to iOS® devices (iOS is a registered trademark of Cisco Systems, Inc. of San Jose, Calif. and is used by Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif. under license). - As another example, a HTTP dynamic streaming (HDS)
converter 122 may convert closed captioning data from the platform-independent format into onTextData events that can be embedded in aHDS stream 162 that may be transmitted to asmartphone 152 or other device that is compatible with video for Adobe® Flash® (Adobe and Flash are registered trademarks of Adobe Systems Inc. of San Jose, Calif.). - As yet another example, the
media server 102 may include asmooth streaming converter 124. “Smooth streaming” may generally refer to an Internet Information Services (IIS) extension from Microsoft Corp. of Redmond, Wash. that implements adaptive bitrate streaming. Thesmooth streaming converter 124 may convert closed captioning data from the platform-independent format into data that can be embedded in asmooth streaming stream 164 to be provided to adesktop computer 154 or included in a manifest associated with thestream 164. To illustrate, thesmooth streaming stream 164 may be provided to devices running Microsoft® Silverlight® or other smooth streaming clients (Microsoft and Silverlight are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corp. of Redmond, Wash.). - In a particular embodiment, each of the ingesters 110-114 and the converters 120-126 may be implemented using software classes. For example, each of the ingesters 110-114 and the converters 120-126 may be Java classes that are executable by a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) executing on the processor(s) 108. In alternate embodiments, non-Java implementations may be used. The
media server 102 may thus provide a plug-in architecture to implement closed captioning for VOD assets. Specific ingesters and converters may be loaded dynamically (e.g., just-in-time), based on what types of captioning data is being received and what types of captioning data is being transmitted. - In a particular embodiment, the
media server 102 may expose details of the platform-independent format. For example, the platform-independent format may be made available via application programming interfaces (APIs), documentation, and/or publically available class declaration or definition files. Exposing details of the platform-independent format may enable users, or third party developers, to define “custom” converters that can convert closed captioning data from platform-independent formats into other formats. For example, acustom converter 126 may generate astream 166 that is provided to an Internet-enabledtelevision 156. The output formats supported by themedia server 102 may include, but are not limited to, HLS, HDS, smooth streaming, and MPEG dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH). - In a particular embodiment, custom converters may also be used to perform other output processing functions. For example, the
custom converter 126 may color all captions associated with dialogue of a first speaker (e.g., “John”) blue and all captions associated with dialogue of a second speaker (e.g., “Susan”) orange (e.g., to enhance caption readability or to make such captions more distinguishable to a viewer that is color-blind). Multiple converters may be applied prior to transmitting an output stream to a destination device. Similarly, multiple ingesters may be applied when processing an input stream from a VOD or caption source. - During operation one or more of the ingesters 110-114 may receive closed captioning data associated with a VOD asset, where the closed captioning data is represented in a first format. For example, the closed captioning data may be in a file that is received by the
media server 102 along with the VOD asset. Alternately, the VOD asset and/or the closed captioning data may previously have been received by themedia server 102 and stored in the storage device(s) 118. As another example, the closed captioning data may be embedded in a stream of the VOD asset that is received by themedia server 102. The ingesters 110-114 may convert the closed captioning data from the first format into the platform-independent format. Theprocessing module 116 may perform stream processing operations on the VOD asset and/or may perform closed caption processing operations on the closed captioning data in the platform independent format. One or more of the converters 120-126 may convert the closed captioning data from the platform-independent format into a second format that is compatible with particular destination device(s). - The aforementioned operations may be performed on-the-fly (e.g., during a single VOD streaming session) in response to a request from a destination device for closed captioning data associated with a stream of a VOD asset. The request may be received during communication of a stream of the VOD asset, where the VOD asset is being received from one of the VOD sources 130-134 or the storage device(s) 118, transcoded by the
processing module 116, and provided to the destination device. For example, a user at a destination device may elect to turn on closed captions for a VOD stream that the user is viewing. In a particular embodiment, the request may also specify a desired language for the closed captions. In response to the request, and without interrupting display of the VOD stream, themedia server 102 may identify a source of the requested closed captioning data, load an ingester that is compatible with the format of the closed captioning data provided by the source, process the platform-independent closed captioning data provided by the ingester, load a converter to convert the processed platform-independent closed captioning data into a format that is compatible with the destination device, and provide the converted closed captioning data to the destination device. Similarly, themedia server 102 may switch closed captioning from a first language to a second language without interrupting communication of the VOD stream. Moreover, it should be noted that although multiple ingesters 110-114 and multiple converters 120-126 are shown inFIG. 1 , this is for example only. In some embodiments, a single ingester or type of ingester, and/or a single converter or type of converter, may be present. For example, themedia server 102 may include the TTML ingester 110 but no video stream-based ingester. As another example, themedia server 102 may include theMP4 ingester 112 but no file-based ingester. - The
system 100 ofFIG. 1 may thus enable dynamic receipt, conversion, and transmission of closed captioning data for VOD assets. For example, a VOD asset provider may provide a TTML file with closed captioning data and rely on themedia server 102 to dynamically process the TTML file to provide closed captioning over multiple outbound protocols to multiple types of devices. Unlike single-format systems, thesystem 100 ofFIG. 1 may process data in various input and output formats, thereby providing a flexible closed captioning framework that accommodates the disparity in formats provided by VOD sources and formats expected by destination devices. Moreover, the provided framework may be extended by users or third parties by creation of custom ingesters and custom converters (e.g., as new input and output formats become popular). -
FIG. 2 is a diagram to illustrate a particular embodiment of a platform-independent closed captioning format that may be used by thesystem 100 ofFIG. 1 , and is generally designated 200. - In
FIG. 2 , the platform-independent closed captioning data includes afirst segment 210 of timed text and asecond segment 220 of timed text. Each of thesegments segment number 231,text 232, astart time 233, anend time 234, and alanguage identifier 235. Thesegments segments font 237, afont size 238, astyle 239, abackground color 240, and aforeground color 241. In selected embodiments, one or more of the data items illustrated inFIG. 2 may be optional. For example, layout information, font information, style information, etc. may be optional. In addition, various formats and values shown inFIG. 2 (e.g., time being represented in H:MM:SS.sss format, location being represented as an <X,Y> pair, the font “Proportional Sans Serif,” the color “Black,” the color “White,” the style “Italics,” etc.) are for illustration only. Alternate embodiments may use different formats and values (e.g., named definitions or enumerated data types). - In a particular embodiment, the
segments data 242. The passed-through data may represent closed captioning data or parameters that are left unmodified by an ingester (e.g., one of the ingesters 110-114 ofFIG. 1 ) when converting closed captioning data from an input format into the platform-independent format. The passed-throughdata 242 may thus represent a tunneling mechanism through a media server (e.g., themedia server 102 ofFIG. 1 ) for platform-specific captioning data. A converter (e.g., one of the converters 120-126 ofFIG. 1 ) may use the passed-throughdata 242 when generating closed captioning data compatible with a specific output format or protocol. Alternately, the converter may also leave the passed-throughdata 242 unmodified, so that a media player on a destination device receives and can act on the passed-throughdata 242. In a particular embodiment, the converter may ignore tunnel data. -
FIG. 3 is a flowchart to illustrate a particular embodiment of amethod 300 of processing closed captioning. In an illustrative embodiment, themethod 300 may be performed by thesystem 100 ofFIG. 1 . - The
method 300 includes receiving closed captioning data at a computing device, at 302. The closed captioning data may be associated with a video on demand asset and may be represented in a first format. For example, inFIG. 1 , themedia server 102 may receive closed captioning data from one of the caption sources 130-134 via the input interface(s) 104. - The
method 300 may also include converting the closed captioning data from the first format to a platform-independent format, at 304. For example, inFIG. 1 , one of the ingesters 110-114 may convert the received closed captioning data to the platform-independent format. - The
method 300 may further include converting the closed captioning data from the platform-independent format to a second format, at 306. For example, inFIG. 1 , one of the converters 120-126 may convert the closed captioning data from the platform-independent format to output data in an output format. - The
method 300 may include transmitting the closed captioning data in the second format to a destination device, at 308. For example, inFIG. 1 , themedia server 102 may transmit the output data in the output format to one or more of the destination devices 150-156 via the output interface(s) 106. - The
method 300 ofFIG. 3 may thus enable multi-format and dynamic receipt/conversion/transmission of closed captioning for video content (e.g., VOD assets). -
FIG. 4 is a flowchart to illustrate another particular embodiment of amethod 400 of processing closed captioning. In an illustrative embodiment, themethod 400 may be performed by thesystem 100 ofFIG. 1 - The
method 400 includes receiving, from a destination device, a request for closed captioning data associated with a stream of a video on demand asset, at 402. The stream may be associated with a particular outbound streaming protocol. The request may indicate that the closed captioning data is to be in a first language (e.g., English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, etc.). For example, inFIG. 1 , themedia server 102 may receive a request from a destination device via the input interface(s) 104. - The
method 400 may also include identifying a source of the requested closed captioning data (e.g., based on the first language), at 404. For example, inFIG. 1 , themedia server 102 may identify one of the sources 130-132. Themedia server 102 may also load an associated ingester (e.g., one of the ingesters 110-114) and an associated converter (e.g., one of the converters 120-126), if not already loaded. - The
method 400 may further include receiving the closed captioning data from the identified source in a first format, at 406. For example, inFIG. 1 , themedia server 102 may receive closed captioning data in a first format via the input interface(s) 104. - The
method 400 may include converting the closed captioning data from the first format to a platform-independent format and from the platform-independent format to a second format that is compatible with the particular outbound streaming protocol, at 408. For example, inFIG. 1 , one of the ingesters 110-114 and one of the converters 120-126 may be used. - The
method 400 may also include transmitting the closed captioning data in the second format via the stream, at 410. For example, inFIG. 1 , themedia server 102 may transmit the closed captioning data in the second format via the output interface(s) 106. - The
method 400 may further include receiving a request to switch the closed captioning data from the first language to a second language, at 412, and transmitting second closed captioning data that is associated with the second language and that is in the second format via the stream without interrupting the stream, at 414. To illustrate, if a different source is identified for the closed captioning data in the second language, a different ingester 110-114 may be loaded. Thus, in the case of switching languages, one or more of the operations described with reference to steps 404-408 ofFIG. 4 may be re-executed betweensteps - The
method 400 ofFIG. 4 may thus enable multi-format and dynamic receipt/conversion/transmission of closed captioning for video content (e.g., VOD assets), including language transitions that are transparent and/or seamless to an end-user. - In accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure, the methods, functions, and modules described herein may be implemented by software programs executable by a computer system. Further, in an exemplary embodiment, implementations can include distributed processing, component/object distributed processing, and parallel processing. Alternatively, virtual computer system processing can be constructed to implement one or more of the methods or functionality as described herein.
- Particular embodiments can be implemented using a computer system executing a set of instructions that cause the computer system to perform any one or more of the methods or computer-based functions disclosed herein. A computer system may include a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a server computer, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a set-top box, a media player, a game console, or any combination thereof.

The apparatus also includes an ingester executable by the processor to convert the closed captioning data from the first format to a platform-independent format. The apparatus further includes a converter executable by the processor to convert the closed captioning data from the platform-independent format to a second format. The apparatus includes an output interface configured to transmitting the closed captioning data in the second format to a destination device.
- In another particular embodiment, a computer-readable storage device includes instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to receive, from a destination device, a request for closed captioning data associated with a stream of a video on demand asset. The stream is associated with a particular outbound streaming protocol. The instructions, when executed by the computer, also cause the computer to identify a source of the requested closed captioning data and to receive the closed captioning data from the identified source in a first format. The instructions, when executed by the computer, further cause the computer to convert the closed captioning data in the first format to a platform-independent format and from the platform-independent format to a second format that is compatible with the particular outbound streaming protocol. The instructions, when executed by the computer, cause the computer to transmit the closed captioning data in the second format via the stream.
