Selective Video Conference Segmentation - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826502 titled 'Selective Video Conference Segmentation
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes techniques for selectively segmenting video content in a video conference setting. - The implementation allows control over which segments of video content are viewable by each participant in the conference. - Segments of video content are generated to represent specific spatial portions of the video captured by the host device. - These segments can be configured in various ways and included in one or more video streams. - The video streams can then be communicated to different participants in the conference based on their status or other factors. - This provides different fields of view to different participants, enhancing their video conference experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques for selective video conference segmentation are described and are implementable in a video conference setting. The described implementations enable control over segments of video content that are viewable by a given participant in a video conference. For instance, segments of video content are generated that represent spatial portions of video content captured by a host device. The segments can be configured in a variety of ways for inclusion in one or more video streams. The video streams can be communicated to different participants within the video conference, for instance based on a status of a given participant, thus providing different fields of view to different participants.
