Abstract
Systems and methods for processing image data to coincide in a point of time with audio data to create a master timeline coordinating audio timeline playback and image data display to generate a synchronized multimedia presentation using content creator and content player modules. The system comprises a network architecture, a synchronization system and a file system database. The method comprises: accessing a content creator module of a synchronization system; manipulating one or more audio data to assemble an audio timeline; manipulating one or more image data to display transformations made as a result of editing; creating one or more timestamps on the audio timeline; assigning each image data to a timestamp corresponding to a time value of a play duration of the audio timeline; generating a master timeline; generating a digital control file; and reproducing the synchronized multimedia presentation in a content player module.
Description
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING IMAGE DATA TO COINCIDE IN A POINT OF TIME
WITH AUDIO DATA
TECHNICAL FIELD
This application relates to the field of software engineering. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to implementing methods and systems to synchronize unconnected image data and audio data.
BACKGROUND
Since the advent of the Internet, a number of multimedia platforms and software have been developed to support the creation, consumption and distribution of digital content. Many individuals have created presentations, podcasts and digital tutorial sessions using audio and video formats. Nevertheless, individuals producing, transmitting and distributing digital audio content often encounter limitations to include multimedia elements (e.g.
images, annotations and hyperlinks) to complement the content existing in digital audio data.
Existing technology supports the inclusion of presentation slides or other kinds of graphic data to coincide in a point of time with audio data and video data to generate synchronized presentations. Nevertheless, the methods and systems employed to process the inclusion of such data produce video data by merging audio and graphic data. As a result, the audio and graphic data become a single file in a video format (e.g. .mp4). If an individual needs to edit parts of that single file, it will be necessary to upload the data that generated such a file again. Furthermore, the existing technology does not support the synchronization of audio data and image data during live transmissions occurring on the Internet. For example, an individual hosting a podcast wants to include an image to illustrate what is being presented during the podcast. Such an image cannot be added to coincide in a point of time with the audio playback using the existing technology unless the individual uses a video camera to record a video.
The present disclosure concerns implementing systems and methods for processing image data to coincide in a point of time with audio data, maintaining the integrity of both image and audio data. For example, a tutor teaching online lessons wants to use an image to support the learning of their pupils while narrating the characteristics of such an image. The tutor uploads the supporting image and manipulates the image to be displayed during the online lessons. The tutor chooses to zoom in on the image and display the details, thus supporting the narration describing the characteristics of the image. The tutor generates a timestamp and assigns this timestamp to the image. Consequently, the image will be displayed at a point of time coinciding with the audio timeline playback in a synchronized format. Rather than merging the image with the audio, the present disclosure results in a synchronized format establishing a timed and uncoupled connection between the image and audio data.
In a different scenario, a social media influencer expert on reviews and tutorials concerning makeup. The social media influencer takes pictures of her face wearing makeup and adds interactive links and descriptions overlaying those pictures by using a number of manipulations Date Recue/Date Received 2023-03-15

The one or more manipulation tools comprises/comprise resizing, cropping, colour manipulating, rotating, including layers with interactive graphic elements, tridimensional manipulations, animations, zooming, sharpening, enhancing, removing blemish, adding tone effect, reversing image, reversing exposure, adding, deleting, and modifying one or more graphic image elements in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. In another embodiment of the invention, the one or more image data transferred to the content creator module 201 may be previewed by a content creator user.
In process 707, one or more timestamps are generated for an audio timeline to be assigned to each of the image data listed in the content creator module. The audio timestamps 515 represent the current play time for each of the image data listed in a list of image data section 503.
Following process 708, each of the image data listed in the content creator module is assigned a timestamp 513 recording a play time wherein each image is displayed to coincide in time with the audio timeline 513. Then, in process 709, each image timestamp is connected to the master timeline, thus generating an audio data and image data time relationship.
In process 710, the master timeline containing image data and the audio timeline generates a digital control file. The digital control file contains records or information concerning one or more manipulations processed in audio data and image data wherein the characteristic file integrity of each audio data and image data are maintained. The digital control file may use any standard text file, wherein some embodiments may use HTML, XML, CSV or JSON. The digital control file comprises a standard text file storing a time relationship between the audio timeline and image data.
In the 711 process, one or more meta-elements describing the characteristics of a synchronized multimedia presentation may be added permitting that synchronized multimedia presentations are discoverable by search engines in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. The one or more meta-elements comprising records and information stored in the digital control file and audio to text transcription may be text files, meta-tags, titles, author and date to generate meta-elements.
