Patent ID: 8494343

Claim:
A method for presenting text data during trick play mode of video streams, the method comprising: querying a content provider of a video stream of video frames having original closed captioning data embedded therein for a plurality of analyzed text data files, wherein the querying is in response to a request from a user to view the video stream; receiving the plurality of analyzed text data files from the content provider in association with receiving the video stream from the content provider; providing the plurality of analyzed text data files associated with the video stream, wherein the analyzed text data files are provided in addition to the original closed captioning data of the video stream to accommodate display of text from the analyzed text data files independently of the video frames, wherein each of the analyzed text data files is generated from the original closed captioning data, and wherein each of the analyzed text data files is designated for presentation at a different non-real time presentation rate that is greater than a real time presentation rate of the video stream; outputting the video stream for presentation on a presentation device at a designated one of the different non-real time presentation rates; and outputting the analyzed text data from a designated one of the analyzed text data files that corresponds to the designated one of the different non-real time presentation rates, for presentation by the presentation device in association with the video stream in place of the original closed captioning data, at the designated one of the different non-real time presentation rates, wherein the outputted analyzed text data is a subset of the original closed captioning data that summarizes the original closed captioning data in a semantically intelligible form; wherein, for the plurality of analyzed text data files, smaller subsets of the original closed captioning data are associated with higher non-real time presentation rates of the outputted video stream, and larger subsets of the original closed captioning data are associated with lower non-real time presentation rates of the outputted video stream.
