Some of them were interested in the actual service of using HTML5 and interactive TV programs. 13:06:50 yosuke: We also had an update from W3C Team about testing activities. 13:06:55 +??P12 13:07:20 +Mark_Vickers 13:07:25 Present+ MarkS 13:07:32 zakim, code? 13:07:32 the conference code is 932881 (tel:+1.617.761.6200 sip:zakim@voip.w3.org), MarkS 13:07:41 janina_ has joined #webtv 13:07:49 zakim, ??P12 is janina_ 13:07:49 +janina_; got it 13:08:07 MarkVickers has joined #webtv 13:08:19 yosuke: W3C Team reported the first round of the testing activity - Test the Web Forward is working well but funding is not working well. 13:08:31 yosuke: Now they'd like to continue to work on crowd sourcing. 13:08:55 Glenn_d has joined #Webtv 13:09:04 ddavis: Today I'm going to speak to W3C local offices about TV activities in W3C 13:09:09 Topic: Use-case gathering 13:09:18 http://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/track/actions/open?sort=due 13:09:19 yosuke: Let's look through the issue tracker 13:11:01 wuwei has joined #webtv 13:11:17 Action 194: Clarify use case 1 description 13:11:17 Error finding '194'. You can review and register nicknames at . 13:11:24 http://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/New_Ideas 13:11:43 Use case 1 - https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/New_Ideas#Audio_Fingerprinting_.28watermarking.29 13:12:55 ddavis: I added a bit more explanation to clarify the use case 13:13:21 ddavis: I added this text: " In other words, the user device could extract information in the broadcast feed to retrieve additional data related to the content being played." 13:14:23 +EricP 13:14:34 ddavis: Maybe it's better to have two use cases 13:14:38 yosuke: I think so 13:15:03 PaulHiggs: It's possible that the web app could be running on the TV itself rather than a second device. 13:15:53 PaulHiggs: I thought we would say the ability of a web app to detect the TV program that's being viewed. 13:16:09 PaulHiggs: Then the second device could extract info from the broadcast feed. 13:17:01 glenn_: What you could extract from the audio stream is a registry identifier or ad ID (inside the watermark). 13:17:17 glenn_: Once you have that, you can resolve it to get the show and episode identifier. 13:17:32 glenn_: It won't tell you where you're watching but what you're watching. 13:18:02 PaulHiggs: The example is correct but the second sentence of the description doesn't seem to be correct. 13:18:31 PaulHiggs: You could add something about listening to its audio information to get further information from the internet. 13:18:59 glenn_: There are two ways of doing this - either there's a watermark you extract or you're going to take the audio and match it against an existing fingerprint. 13:19:08 PaulHiggs: That's why it needs to be two use cases. 13:19:46 PaulHiggs: Watermarking is non-audible tones that the tablet can hear. Fingerprinting is listening to a clip and comparing it to a database. 13:20:16 glenn_: There's also a third case - the option that the TV device may have some fingerprinting tech built-in. It can notify the tablet of what's being watched. 13:20:32 glenn_: Samsung TVs have a watermarking feature that can do this. 13:20:43 PaulHiggs: Is that audio or something else? 13:21:03 s/glenn_/?/ 13:21:17 i'm not on the call 13:21:42 np :) 13:22:33 Glenn_d has joined #Webtv 13:22:39 zakim, glenn_ is Glenn_d 13:22:39 +Glenn_d; got it 13:22:56 PaulHiggs: So in that third case you're saying the TV is doing the detection but not using audio. 13:23:00 Glenn_d: Correct. 13:23:30 ddavis: Is just two use cases enough? 13:24:04 PaulHiggs: I had thought maybe we don't need the third one - it's mostly about getting the information on the companion tablet. 13:25:51 Glenn_d: There is one difference - the industry uses a 6-second clip for fingerprinting and can tell where in the show I'm watching. 13:26:07 Glenn_d: Whereas with watermarking is just an identifier for the show. 13:26:44 Clarke: Fingerprinting is taking information that's already there are characterizing it. 13:27:03 Clarke: Watermarking is added inaudible info to the stream to identify the source or add e.g. copyright information. 13:27:17 +CyrilRa 13:27:19 PaulHiggs: The watermarking technology could do more that just identify the show. 13:27:54 yosuke: The benefit of fingerprinting is you don't need to add info to the stream beforehand. 13:28:17 yosuke: If you add more computing resources you can get more precise info of where you're watching. 13:28:57 yosuke: For the use case, when you're listening to the stream, without the original provider adding metadata or audio watermarking, you can use a fingerprinting service to get program info. 13:29:00 CyrilRa has joined #webtv 13:29:30 yosuke: For watermarking, the video creator can add anything they like within the stream and the receiver can decode that info. 13:29:39 yosuke: The service provider can deliver additional info to applications. 13:30:10 Glenn_d: Some places have discussed a hybrid system - a watermark to obtain the show and a fingerprint to sync where you're watching. 13:30:32 ACTION: ddavis to split up use case 1 into watermarking and fingerprinting. 13:30:33 Created ACTION-200 - Split up use case 1 into watermarking and fingerprinting.

You can review and register nicknames at . 13:35:36 yosuke: This is mine. We had a talk with the HTML accessibility sub group during the AC meeting. 13:35:47 yosuke: Mark, Janina, Daniel, Kaz and I joined. 13:36:00 yosuke: We exchanged some thoughts about how we can work together. 13:36:05 yosuke: There are two actions we can take. 13:36:06 wwu has joined #webtv 13:36:32 yosuke: One is improving new standards or specs, e.g. TV Control API, that are related to this Interest Group, adding new accessibility features. 13:36:40 yosuke: We can contribute to this. 13:37:06 yosuke: The other approach is that there are lots of external orgs using HTML5 and related standards. 13:37:33 yosuke: We can improve awareness for people who use W3C standards of what is best for accessibility. 13:37:46 yosuke: We could create guidelines for other SDOs to use or reference. 13:38:15 yosuke: Accessibility is regulated and raising awareness is important. 13:39:26 ddavis: There are already guidelines being worked on so we would not rewrite them - just add to them or somehow make it easier for TV-related organisations and companies to find and digest the existing guidelines. 13:39:40 MarkS: I can see the benefit for tailoring guidelines for a particular industry. 13:39:57 MarkS: We'd have to spend time learning the needs of that industry. We could collaborate on this. 13:40:40 janina_: I'm all for it if the group thinks it's worth doing. 13:40:46 ddavis: What is goal for you? 13:41:30 janina_: First goal is that all the material we have is fully supported. This material, e.g. captions which are enshrined in law, exist from before the web was born. 13:41:45 janina_: Captions are already there and easy to use. 13:41:54 janina_: We think the specs already support this. 13:42:20 janina_: There may be cases where different devices display different things. 13:42:52 janina_: Whatever the viewing setup, we want this work supported. 13:43:18 janina_: The third goal is that people creating the user agents have guidance on how to use our resources. 13:43:56 janina_: If we can have a example video that has every accessibility component that we suggest, that would be good. 13:44:56 janina_: We've had some good response from education because they're under US law to provide accessible materials including videos. 13:45:16 janina_: I think it's achievable. 13:45:37 Clarke: I'm doing some work on broadcast and cable side on descriptive video. I should sync up with your group at some point. 13:46:07 Clarke, ping me at mark@w3.org and I will send you the details 13:46:30 yosuke: We could talk about the video in the IG, but we need significant contributions. 13:46:42 yosuke: For now I'm not sure how many members can contribute. 13:47:20 MarkS: This part was a broader goal. 13:47:58 yosuke: One idea is that currently hybrid TV is an important topic. There are lots of different delivery methods but one single viewing experience. 13:48:11 yosuke: That requires different standards from different stakeholders. 13:49:07 yosuke: That's also a challenge because we need to compile several different things. There's no comprehensive study about how to maintain accessibility in such an environment. 13:49:27 yosuke: The media accessibility guidelines (to be published) could cover this. 13:49:58 yosuke: In this IG and other SDOs, people are creating new hybrid standards. If we can check what problems the hybrid systems have, that could help a lot of people. 13:50:11 yosuke: Any further comments? 13:50:19 q? 13:51:02 yosuke: Let's firstly create some notes to clarify the goals of the clarification between the TV IG and the media accessibility sub group. 13:51:17 yosuke: We can refine this on the mailing list and then work together efficiently. 13:51:26 Action 198 - Ask timed text wg about 4k affecting captioning. 13:51:26 Error finding '198'. You can review and register nicknames at . 13:51:36 ddavis: Sorry I haven't done this yet. 13:51:58 Action 199 - And yosuke to create questionnaire for 4k stakeholders about web standards issues. 13:51:58 Error finding '199'. You can review and register nicknames at . 13:52:31 yosuke: I wrote an email to Daniel suggesting we start within W3C members, and after that ask externally. 13:52:49 yosuke: 4K is a compression technology so the work is also done in MPEG and other SDOs. 13:53:20 yosuke: We can later ask external SDOs about their use cases and concerns. 13:53:30 yosuke: What groups should we ask about 4K? 13:54:00 yosuke: We already talked about asking the Timed Text Working Group. Should we ask e.g. HTML WG and its media task force? 13:54:04 ddavis: I think so. 13:54:26 yosuke: Maybe CSS WG - they're dealing with positioning and responsive media. 13:54:39 yosuke: Maybe SVG WG? 13:54:52 aldafu has joined #webtv 13:54:59 yosuke: And Media Accessibility Sub Group 13:55:18 yosuke: Any others? 13:55:35 PaulHiggs: Is anyone looking at accessibility and subtitles on companion devices? 13:56:03 PaulHiggs: I'm thinking of something like a teleprompter mode where a transcript scrolls on my tablet. 13:56:35 Mark_Vickers: [inaudible] 13:56:52 MarkS: I think you're saying current web tech already supports this functionality. 13:57:09 MarkS: We currently have the ability to sync video with a transcript. 13:57:26 -Mark_Vickers 13:57:59 yosuke: Our situation with synchronisation is we need to define better standards for this. 13:58:23 yosuke: For example, if the main video is delivered using broadcasting, there is almost no buffer. 13:58:26 +Mark_Vickers 13:58:58 yosuke: But we may need additional synchronisation method. That's also the hybrid situation. 13:59:10 yosuke: The standard for this is not defined in W3C. 13:59:47 yosuke: It's important for accessibility but we don't have anything for this level of synchronisation. 13:59:54 ddavis: So add it as a new use case? 14:00:22 yosuke: Yes, but we already have lots of existing second screen use cases so maybe we can improve what we already have. 14:00:40 yosuke: Any other comments? 14:01:25 ddavis: I think Janina has just sent a new use case. 14:02:16 janina_: I think there are a couple of unique things. 14:02:30 janina_: The use case is e.g. someone growing older who loses their hearing. 14:03:05 janina_: They lose their hearing so that viewing movies/tv content, they can't follow the dialogue because of additional sound (gunshot, car noises, etc.) 14:03:26 janina_: They could rely on captions but ideally they'd like to follow the audio soundtrack. 14:03:34 janina_: In the UK there's a thing called clean audio. 14:03:51 janina_: The notion is an alternative audio track which is primarily dialogue. 14:03:59 janina_: This is made available to the viewer. 14:04:37 janina_: So for example, the viewer has an app on their mobile device which tells them when a clean audio track is available for them to listen to separately. 14:05:05 janina_: This audio app is important because a hearing therapist can tune the app to the frequencies that are best for that particular viewer. 14:05:30 janina_: This is a very important strategy. 14:05:43 janina_: It could also be possible to use the same app in the cinema watching movies. 14:05:54 -Clarke 14:06:10 yosuke: I think NHK also has similar research. 14:06:26 yosuke: They're keen to develop accessible technologies. 14:06:53 janina_: I think we'd like to know about things like that. You could help us with footnotes and who in the industry is doing what. 14:07:10 janina_: You could really help with us compiling the guidelines. 14:07:25 yosuke: The industry would also like to improve society and get more recognition. 14:07:44 janina_: I heard a US senator saying you can be in business and still do good - we should reward them. 14:08:00 ddavis: Should we add that use case to our wiki page? 14:08:30 PaulHiggs: To clarify, the clean audio is just the commentary. Is there some kind of mixing that could bring in some sound effects? 14:08:38 janina_: Yes, I think there is. 14:08:55 janina_: The additional audio should not get in the way of the dialogue. 14:09:38 janina_: And the app can adjust the frequency for the hearing band? 14:09:48 s/janina_/PaulHiggs/ 14:09:54 janina_: Yes, exactly. 14:10:01 yosuke: Any other topics to discuss? 14:10:03 q? 14:10:21 ACTION: ddavis to add clean audio use case to wiki page 14:10:21 Created ACTION-201 - Add clean audio use case to wiki page [on Daniel Davis - due 2014-06-18]. 14:10:44 yosuke: Some work is going on in the mailing list. Let's clarify our schedule. 14:11:11 yosuke: We'll can think of milestones - when we finalise things and do gap analysis. 14:11:30 yosuke: On the mailing list, IG members can make comments. 14:11:36 ddavis: Sounds good to me. 14:11:50 -Paul_Higgs 14:11:53 yosuke: Thank you for joining us.
