SEGMENTED VIDEO PREVIEW CONTROLS BY REMOTE PARTICIPANTS IN A VIDEO COMMUNICATION SESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826735 titled 'SEGMENTED VIDEO PREVIEW CONTROLS BY REMOTE PARTICIPANTS IN A VIDEO COMMUNICATION SESSION
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a method for a receiving device to control an image stream transmitting (IST) device. - The method involves receiving a segmented video stream from the IST device during a video communication session. - The segmented video stream includes a primary segment and a secondary segment presenting a virtual control interface. - The method includes displaying a control enabling view of the segmented video stream on a display device. - The method also involves monitoring for movement captured by an image capturing device that indicates input near a selectable feature. - When input is detected, the method identifies the function associated with the selectable feature and activates it. - The activated function affects one or more characteristics of a video image presented in the primary segment of the stream.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method allows a receiving device to control aspects of an image stream transmitting (IST) device. The method includes receiving a segmented video stream from the IST device during a video communication session. The segmented video stream includes a primary segment and a secondary segment presenting a virtual control interface. The method includes presenting, on a display device, a control enabling view of the segmented video stream and monitoring for movement, captured by at least one image capturing device, that is indicative of the input occurring within a spatial location proximate to the selectable feature. The method includes in response to detecting the input, identifying a function associated with the selectable feature and activating the function to affect one or more characteristics of a video image presented within the primary segment.
