CAMERA FORMAT SELECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240214233 titled 'CAMERA FORMAT SELECTION
The technology described in the patent application involves a local device receiving a requested camera format based on the specifications of a display associated with a remote device in a video conference setting. The requested camera format includes a specific resolution, and the local device determines which camera formats are supported by its camera. If the resolution matches with one of the supported camera formats, that format is selected for capturing the video stream. Otherwise, a different camera format is chosen to maximize the field of view of the video stream.
- Local device receives camera format based on remote device display specifications
- Camera format includes specific resolution
- Supported camera formats by local device camera are determined
- Matching resolution format is selected for capturing video stream
- Different format is chosen to maximize field of view if no match is found
Potential Applications: - Video conferencing systems - Remote collaboration tools - Telemedicine applications
Problems Solved: - Ensures optimal camera format selection for video streaming - Maximizes field of view for better video quality
Benefits: - Improved video quality in video conferences - Seamless remote collaboration experience - Enhanced telemedicine capabilities
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 more efficient and effective remote communication and collaboration.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the technology determine the supported camera formats? The local device analyzes the camera's capabilities to determine which formats are supported for capturing the video stream.
2. What happens if none of the supported camera formats match the requested resolution? In that case, a different camera format is selected to ensure the best possible field of view for the video stream.
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.
