Lightweight Calling with Avatar User Representation - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240320893 titled 'Lightweight Calling with Avatar User Representation
The patent application is focused on lightweight calling with avatar animation, allowing users to interact through animated avatars and audio data.
- Users can engage in lightweight calls, streaming avatar animation data and audio data between their systems for a more interactive communication experience.
- The output of the lightweight call includes displaying animated avatars and corresponding audio data captured via microphones.
- The lightweight call panel shows side-by-side animated avatars representing the call participants, enhancing the visual aspect of the interaction.
Potential Applications: - Virtual meetings and conferences - Online gaming and social platforms - Remote collaboration and communication tools
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user engagement and interaction in virtual communication - Providing a more visually appealing and immersive calling experience - Facilitating real-time communication through animated avatars
Benefits: - Improved user experience in virtual communication - Enhanced visual representation of users during calls - Increased engagement and interaction in online interactions
Commercial Applications: "Enhancing Virtual Communication with Lightweight Calling and Avatar Animation: Market Implications"
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in avatar animation technology and lightweight calling protocols to enhance user experience and interaction.
Questions about Lightweight Calling with Avatar Animation: 1. How does lightweight calling with avatar animation improve user engagement in virtual communication? 2. What are the potential commercial applications of this technology in online platforms and communication tools?
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure are directed to lightweight calling among users with avatar animation. a lightweight call can be a user-to-user interaction between users. for example, each users' system can stream lightweight call data to the other user system and output the lightweight call data. in some implementations, the output includes displaying animated avatar(s) and audio data for the lightweight call. for example, the streamed lightweight call data for a first user system can include avatar animation data for an avatar that represents that first user and audio data captured via microphone(s) of the first user system. a second user system can output the avatar animation data as an animated avatar and the corresponding audio data. implementations of the lightweight call can be displayed via a lightweight call panel that includes side-by-side animated avatars representative of the call participants.
