VIRTUAL ACTION CENTER BASED ON SEGMENTED VIDEO FEED FOR A VIDEO COMMUNICATION SESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826603 titled 'VIRTUAL ACTION CENTER BASED ON SEGMENTED VIDEO FEED FOR A VIDEO COMMUNICATION SESSION
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes a communication device, method, and computer program product that enhance video communication sessions. - The invention involves displaying virtual action centers on a video image preview during video capture. - The method includes identifying a primary region of interest (ROI) within a video image and dividing the image into a primary segment and at least one secondary segment. - A virtual interface is associated with the location of the secondary segment, allowing users to interact with features using air gestures or screen touches. - The video image preview shows both the primary segment and the virtual interface on the display device.
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication device, a method, and a computer program product provide virtual action centers superimposed over secondary segments of a video image preview on a display during video capture for a video communication session. The method includes receiving a local video stream comprising video images, identifying a primary region of interest (ROI) within a video image, and delineating the video image into a primary segment that encompasses the primary ROI and at least a secondary segment. The method includes associating a virtual interface with a location of the secondary segment in the video image, the virtual interface presenting at least one feature that can be selected via one of air gestures and screen touches during presentation of the primary segment of the video image preview. A preview of the delineated segments of the video image presents at least the primary segment and the virtual interface visible within the display device.
