AUDIO DATA

TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to the field of software engineering. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to implementing methods and systems to synchronize unconnected image data and audio data.

BACKGROUND

Since the advent of the Internet, a number of multimedia platforms and software have been developed to support the creation, consumption and distribution of digital content. Many individuals have created presentations, podcasts and digital tutorial sessions using audio and video formats. Nevertheless, individuals producing, transmitting and distributing digital audio content often encounter limitations to include multimedia elements (e.g., images, annotations and hyperlinks) to complement the content existing in digital audio data.

Existing technology supports the inclusion of presentation slides or other kinds of graphical data to coincide in a point of time with audio data and video data to generate synchronized presentations. Nevertheless, the methods and systems employed to process the inclusion of such data produce video data by merging audio and graphical data. As a result, the audio and graphical data become a single file in a video format (e.g. .mp4). If an individual need to edit parts of that single file, it will be necessary to upload the data that generated such a file again. Furthermore, the existing technology does not support the synchronization of audio data and image data during live transmissions occurring on the Internet. For example, an individual hosting a podcast wants to include an image to illustrate what it is being presented during the podcast. Such an image cannot be added to coincide in a point of time with the audio playback using the existing technology unless the individual uses a video camera to record a video.

The present disclosure concerns implementing systems and methods for processing image data to coincide in a point of time with audio data, maintaining the integrity of both image and audio data. For example, a tutor teaching online lessons wants to use an image to support the learning of their pupils while narrating the characteristics of such an image. The tutor uploads the supporting image and manipulates the image to be displayed during the online lessons. The tutor chooses to zoom in the image and display the details, thus supporting the narration describing the characteristics of the image. The tutor generates a timestamp and assigns this timestamp to the image. Consequently, the image will be displayed in a point of time coinciding with the audio timeline playback in a synchronized format. Rather than merging the image with the audio, the present disclosure results in a synchronized format establishing a timed connection between the image and audio data.

In a different scenario, a social media influencer expert on reviews and tutorials concerning makeup. The social media influencer takes pictures of her face wearing makeup and adds links and descriptions overlaying those pictures by using a number of manipulations existing in the present disclosure. The social media influencer’s audience will be able to save in the form of bookmarks the content existing on the images. SUMMARY

The present disclosure concerns implementing systems and methods for processing image data to coincide in a point of time with audio data to create a master timeline coordinating audio timeline playback and image data display to generate a synchronized multimedia presentation using content creator and content player modules.
