Virtual Backgrounds For Other Conference Participants - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240380801 titled 'Virtual Backgrounds For Other Conference Participants

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system where a virtual background image is selected based on a target-background mode set by one conference participant, and then used to replace the background segment of an image received from another participant during a video conference.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Selection of virtual background image based on target-background mode set by a conference participant.
  • Replacement of background segment in an image with the virtual background image.
  • Display of the modified image on the participant's device.
  • Option to select virtual background image based on time of day.
  • User interface for the participant to choose the target-background mode.

Potential Applications: This technology can be used in video conferencing applications, virtual meetings, online presentations, and remote work setups.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for customizable virtual backgrounds in video conferencing to enhance privacy, professionalism, and aesthetics.

Benefits:

  • Improved user experience in video conferencing.
  • Enhanced customization options for virtual backgrounds.
  • Increased privacy and professionalism during online meetings.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized by video conferencing platforms, remote work software providers, and virtual event organizers to offer enhanced virtual background features to users.

Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include existing virtual background features in video conferencing software and applications.

Frequently Updated Research: Research on user preferences for virtual backgrounds, advancements in virtual background technology, and market trends in video conferencing software may be relevant to this technology.

Questions about Virtual Background Image Selection: 1. How does the system determine the appropriate virtual background image to use? 2. Can users upload their own custom virtual background images for selection?


Original Abstract Submitted

an image is received from a first device of a first conference participant. a virtual background image is selected based on a target-background mode set by a second conference participant. a modified image is obtained by replacing a background segment of the image with at least a portion of the virtual background image. the modified image is displayed on a second device of the second conference participant. the virtual background image can be selected based on a time of day. a user interface presented on the second device may be provided enabling the second conference participant to select the target-background mode.
