METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IN-TRANSIT AUGMENTATION OF REAL-TIME VIDEO ASSISTANCE COMMUNICATION

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18210344 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IN-TRANSIT AUGMENTATION OF REAL-TIME VIDEO ASSISTANCE COMMUNICATION

Original Abstract Submitted

An illustrative graphics rendering engine may receive, by way of a network connection with a first communication endpoint separate from the graphics rendering engine, a real-time video communication generated at the first communication endpoint for communication with a second communication endpoint separate from the graphics rendering engine. The graphics rendering engine may access a graphical representation of an object from a data store separate from the first and second communication endpoints. As the real-time video communication is being received, the graphics rendering engine may generate an augmented video communication featuring the graphical representation of the object overlaid onto a background texture depicting the real-time video communication. The graphics rendering engine may transmit this augmented video communication to the second communication endpoint in real time as the augmented video communication is being generated. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
