NON-MIRRORED PREVIEW OF TEXT BASED DEMONSTRATION OBJECT IN MIRRORED MOBILE WEBCAM IMAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826639 titled 'NON-MIRRORED PREVIEW OF TEXT BASED DEMONSTRATION OBJECT IN MIRRORED MOBILE WEBCAM IMAGE
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a method for providing a non-mirrored preview of text-based demonstration objects in a locally captured video stream. - The method involves identifying a demonstration object within the video stream that contains content best viewed in a non-mirrored orientation. - The video image is spatially segmented into two or more segments, including a demonstration object preview (DOP) segment and at least one second segment. - The DOP segment encompasses the defined area with the demonstration object, while the second segment encompasses the remaining portion of the video image. - A preview of the video image is presented on a display device, where the remaining portion of the video image is mirrored within the preview. - However, the DOP segment is presented without mirroring in its correct spatial location relative to the remaining portion of the video image. - This allows a person presenting the demonstration object to receive a non-mirrored presentation preview of the demonstration object.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method provides non-mirrored preview of text-based demonstration objects in a locally captured video stream. The method includes identifying a demonstration object within the video stream. The demonstration object contains content that is best when pre-viewed in a non-mirrored orientation. The method includes spatially segmenting the video image into two or more segments, including a demonstration object preview (DOP) segment that encompasses the defined area with the demonstration object and at least one second segment encompassing a remaining portion of the video image. The method includes presenting a preview of the video image on the display device with the remaining portion of the video image mirrored within the preview and at least the DOP segment presented without mirroring in a correct spatial location relative to the remaining portion of the video image. A person presenting the demonstration object receives a non-mirrored presentation preview of the demonstration object.
