ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR VIDEO CALL BASED ON REACTION SERVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17948998 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR VIDEO CALL BASED ON REACTION SERVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device that can analyze the emotions of a user during a video call and display suitable reaction objects on the screen. Here are the key points:

  • The electronic device includes a communication module, camera, display, and processor.
  • The communication module allows the device to make video calls with other devices.
  • The camera captures an image of the user's face during the call.
  • The processor analyzes the user's emotions based on their facial expressions.
  • The analysis is done in response to the speaker's utterance from the other device.
  • The display shows reaction induction objects that match the user's emotions.
  • These objects induce suitable reactions based on the user's changing emotions during the call.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Video conferencing platforms could use this technology to enhance user experience by providing real-time emotional feedback.
  • Online therapy sessions could benefit from the ability to analyze and react to the emotions of the patient.
  • Customer service interactions could be improved by tailoring responses based on the customer's emotions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of emotional feedback in video calls can lead to miscommunication and misunderstandings.
  • Users may feel disconnected or unengaged during video calls without visual cues.
  • It can be challenging to accurately interpret a person's emotions solely based on their voice.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience during video calls by providing real-time emotional feedback.
  • Improved communication and understanding between participants.
  • Increased engagement and connection during video calls.
