Scene-By-Scene Plot Context For Cognitively Impaired

摘要

To improve cognitive comprehension of plots in videos and thus assist not only people with cognitive issues but also inattentive people that have trouble following along with the plot, information is sent about each scene in a video. By selecting “info” in a predetermined way, screen text is presented not about the entire show about rather about the current scene, such as a brief synopsis of what characters in the scene have done up to that point in the video.
