Samsung patents TV that fixes its own subtitle reading errors

Samsung describes a display device that reads on-screen text and listens to the audio track simultaneously. It compares the two results and uses any differences to automatically correct and improve its text-reading software.

Why it mattersThis could lead to TVs that provide more accurate subtitles and captions without needing constant manual updates from manufacturers.

In the filing’s own words

Provided is a display device including a memory for storing one or more instructions and at least one processor for executing the one or more instructions stored in the memory to obtain a first character string by using a character recognition model to determine whether there is at least one character on a play screen of content and recognizing a character string including the at least one character in response to determining that there is the at least one character on the play screen of the content, obtain a second character string including at least one character by using a speech recognition model to determine whether there is speech in audio data included in a play section of the content where there is the at least one character, and recognizing the speech and converting the recognized speech into a character string in response to determining that there is the speech in the audio data, and compare the first character string with the second character string and update the character recognition model based on a mismatched part.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A display device comprising: a memory storing one or more instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory to: obtain a first character string by using a character recognition model to determine whether there is at least one character on a play screen of content and recognizing a character string including the at least one character as the first character string in response to determining that there is the at least one character on the play screen of the content, obtain a second character string including at least one character by using a speech recognition model to determine whether there is speech in audio data included in a play section of the content where there is the at least one character, and recognizing the speech and converting the recognized speech into a character string as the second character string in response to determining that there is the speech in the audio data, compare the first character string with the second character string, update the character recognition model based on a mismatch between the first character string and the second character string indicated by the comparing of the first character string with the second character string, and use the updated character recognition model to obtain a subsequent character string.
