Abstract

A method and apparatus for the automatic overlay of captions (closed captioning, annotations, tags, metadata . . . ) on images or videos facilitate a dynamic movement of a caption as a user scrolls an image or a list of images with automatically generated captions overlaid on the Images. The scrolling rate of the images is performed at a different rate that that of the captions.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method comprising the steps of:
 generating a user interface wherein the user interface includes an image and a text wherein said text is overlaid on a first portion of said image; and   moving said images and said text within said user interface in response to a user input wherein said image and said text are moved different amounts such that said text is displayed on a second portion of said image.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said user input is a scrolling of a video screen. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2  wherein said user input is made using a touch screen. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said image is moved a first distance in a first direction and said text is moved a second distance in said first direction and wherein said first direction is determined in response to said user input. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said image is first displayed at the top of said user interface and the text is first displayed over the bottom portion of said image and wherein in response to said user input, the image is moved to the bottom of said user interface and the text is displayed over the top portion of said image. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said text changes color in response to said user input. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said text changes size in response to said user input. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said text changes in opacity in response to said user input. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said image changes color in response to said user input. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said image changes in clarity in response to said user input. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said image changes in opacity in response to said user input. 
     
     
         12 . An apparatus configured to perform one or more of the method of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         13 . An apparatus comprising:
 a display operative to display a user interface and for receiving a user input; and   a processor for generating said user interface, wherein said user interface includes an image and a text wherein said text is overlaid on a first portion of said image, said processor further operative to modify said user interface such that said image and said text are moved within said user interface in response to said user input wherein said image and said text are moved different amounts such that said text is displayed on a second portion of said image.   
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein said user input is a scrolling of a video screen. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 14  wherein said user input is made using a touch screen. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 14  further comprising a button wherein said user input is made in response to said button. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein said image is moved a first distance in a first direction and said text is moved a second distance in said first direction and wherein said first direction is determined in response to said user input. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein said image is first displayed at the top of said user interface and the text is first displayed over the bottom portion of said image and wherein in response to said user input, the image is moved to the bottom of said user interface and the text is displayed over the top portion of said image. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein said text changes color in response to said user input. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein said text changes size in response to said user input. 
     
     
         21 . The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein said text changes in opacity in response to said user input. 
     
     
         22 . The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein said image changes color in response to said user input. 
     
     
         23 . The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein said image changes in clarity in response to said user input. 
     
     
         24 . An apparatus comprising:
 a controller for receiving a user input; and   a processor for generating a signal including a user interface, wherein said user interface includes an image and a text wherein said text is overlaid on a first portion of said image, said processor further operative to modify said user interface such that said image and said text are moved within said user interface in response to said user input wherein said image and said text are moved different amounts such that said text is displayed on a second portion of said image.   
     
     
         25 . The apparatus of  claim 24  wherein said user input is a scrolling of a touch sensitive input device. 
     
     
         26 . The apparatus of  claim 25  wherein said user input is made using a touch screen. 
     
     
         27 . The apparatus of  claim 25  wherein said controller further comprises a button wherein said user input is mode in response to said button. 
     
     
         28 . The apparatus of  claim 24  wherein said image is moved a first distance in a first direction and said text is moved a second distance in said first direction and wherein said first direction is determined in response to said user input. 
     
     
         29 . The apparatus of  claim 24  wherein said image is first displayed at the top of said user interface and the text is first displayed over the bottom portion of said image and wherein in response to said user input, the image is moved to the bottom of said user interface and the text is displayed over the top portion of said image. 
     
     
         30 . The apparatus of  claim 24  wherein said text changes color in response to said user input. 
     
     
         31 . The apparatus of  claim 24  wherein said text changes size in response to said user input. 
     
     
         32 . The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein said text changes in opacity in response to said user input.
