SMART VIDEO CONFERENCE ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17846073 titled 'SMART VIDEO CONFERENCE ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed technology is a smart video conference environment that enhances the video conferencing experience by segmenting the live video of a participant into a foreground and a background. Here are the key points:

  • The live video of a conference participant is divided into a foreground (participant) and a background (excluding the participant).
  • The background can be replaced with a virtual background chosen based on various factors.
  • Factors for selecting the virtual background include context data from a calendar, content related to the context data, and transaction history.
  • The background can be updated based on the topics of conversation among conference participants.
  • Interactive content can be presented in the virtual background, allowing participants to interact with it.
  • Additional content can be overlaid on both the participant and the background.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing the video conferencing experience by providing virtual backgrounds that suit the context of the conference.
  • Creating a more engaging and interactive environment for participants by allowing them to interact with the virtual background.
  • Providing a customizable and professional appearance for video conferences, especially in remote work settings.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of visual appeal and customization options in traditional video conferencing environments.
  • Limited interaction and engagement among conference participants.
  • Difficulty in maintaining a professional appearance during video conferences.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved visual aesthetics and customization options for video conferences.
  • Enhanced participant engagement and interaction through interactive virtual backgrounds.
  • Professional appearance and customization options for video conferences, contributing to a more polished and effective communication experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed embodiments relate to a smart video conference environment. A live video of a conference participant can be segmented into a foreground, including the participant, and a background that excludes the participant. The background can be replaced by a virtual background determined based on one or more factors. The factors can include context data acquired from a calendar, content based on the context data, and transaction history. Further, interaction amongst conference participants can be monitored and utilized to update the background in one instance based on topics of conversation. Interactive content presented in the virtual background permits interaction by participants with the background. Furthermore, content can also be overlaid on the participant and the background in one instance.
