CAMERA FORMAT SELECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18597893 titled 'CAMERA FORMAT SELECTION
The technology described in the patent application involves receiving a requested camera format at a local device based on the specifications of a display associated with a remote device in a video conference setting. The camera format includes a specific resolution, and the system determines which camera format supported by the local device should be used for capturing the video stream based on the resolutions available.
- The system selects the camera format with a resolution that matches the requested resolution if available.
- If no exact match is found, the system selects a camera format that maximizes the field of view of the video stream relative to other supported camera formats.
- This process ensures optimal video quality and viewing experience during video conferences.
- The technology aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of video communication by automatically adjusting camera settings based on display specifications.
Potential Applications: - Video conferencing systems - Remote collaboration tools - Telemedicine platforms
Problems Solved: - Ensures the best possible video quality during video conferences - Streamlines the process of selecting camera formats based on display specifications
Benefits: - Improved video quality and user experience - Simplified camera format selection process - Enhanced communication and collaboration in remote settings
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Video Conferencing Technology for Remote Collaboration This technology can be utilized in various industries such as telecommunication, healthcare, education, and business for seamless video conferencing experiences. It can improve communication efficiency and productivity in remote work environments.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology impact the quality of video conferences? - This technology ensures optimal video quality by selecting the most suitable camera format based on display specifications. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond video conferencing? - This technology can be applied in telemedicine platforms, remote collaboration tools, and various other industries to enhance communication and collaboration experiences.
Original Abstract Submitted
The subject technology receives, at a local device, a requested camera format based on specifications of a display associated with a remote device. The remote device and the local device are devices participating in a video conference. The requested camera format includes a first resolution. Camera formats supported by a camera associated with the local device are determined. If a second resolution of a first camera format matches among the supported camera formats matches with the first resolution, the first camera format is selected for capturing the video stream by the camera. Otherwise, a second camera format among the supported camera formats is determined for capturing the video stream so as to maximize a field of view of the video stream relative to other camera formats supported by the camera.
