SUBJECT-BASED SMART SEGMENTATION OF VIDEO FEED ON A TRANSMITTING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826784 titled 'SUBJECT-BASED SMART SEGMENTATION OF VIDEO FEED ON A TRANSMITTING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a communication device that can segment and present a video feed based on subjects within the video. - A processor in the device identifies a primary subject and a secondary subject in the video stream. - The video stream is then divided into a primary segment and one or more secondary segments, each encompassing the primary and secondary subjects respectively. - The device can identify different request types from connected second devices, such as requesting only the primary segment, requesting both the primary and secondary segments, or requesting only the secondary segments. - Based on the request type associated with each second device, the processor transmits specific segments of the video feed to each device. - The patent also mentions an accessibility setting that allows a second device to selectively receive video segments of a sign language interpreter along with a main presenter.
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication device provides subject-based segmentation and selective presentation of a video feed. A processor identifies a primary subject and a secondary subject within a captured video stream. The processor delineates the video stream into a primary segment and at least one secondary segment respectively encompassing the primary and secondary subjects. The processor identifies for each connected second device, a request type from among: (i) a first request type to only receive the primary segment; (ii) a second request type to receive the primary segment and secondary segment(s); and (iii) a third request type to receive secondary segments, but not the primary segment. The processor transmits, to each second device, specific segments of the video feed based on the request type associated with each respective second device. An accessibility setting enables a second device to selectively receive video segments of a sign language interpreter along with a main presenter.
