METHOD OF SYNCHRONIZING ALTERNATE AUDIO CONTENT WITH VIDEO CONTENT

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that synchronizes alternate audio on a first device with video on a second device. For example, the media guidance application may obtain an image of the video asset, determine a point in the video asset that the image corresponds to, and, from that, determine the point in the alternate audio from which playback should begin. The media guidance application may also obtain the image of the video asset in response to determining that the video and the audio assets are not synchronized. By doing so, the media guidance application may automatically, without additional manual effort on the part of the user, synchronize the alternate audio asset with the video asset.

1. A method for synchronizing alternate audio with a media asset, the method comprising:
obtaining an image of a video asset; determining a video progress point in the video asset that corresponds to the image; searching for a plurality of audio assets that correspond to the video asset; retrieving a user profile with preferences for audio assets; comparing data stored in the user profile to an attribute of each of the plurality of audio assets to determine which of the plurality of audio assets corresponds to the user profile; selecting an audio asset of the plurality of audio assets which corresponds to the user profile; determining an audio progress point in the audio asset that corresponds to the video progress point; and generating for presentation the audio asset at the audio progress point.
