Applying Video Effects Corresponding to Each Participant Within a Video Communication Session - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323309 titled 'Applying Video Effects Corresponding to Each Participant Within a Video Communication Session

The patent application describes methods and systems for applying video effects to a participant within a video communication session.

• The system displays a video for each participant and a user interface with selectable video effects options.
• Participants can choose a video effect and customize the amount to be applied.
• The system then applies the selected video effect in real time to the participant's video.

Potential Applications: - Enhancing video communication experiences - Adding creativity and personalization to video calls - Improving engagement and interaction in virtual meetings

Benefits: - Enhanced user experience in video communication - Increased personalization and creativity in virtual interactions - Improved engagement and communication effectiveness in video calls

Commercial Applications: - Video conferencing platforms - Virtual event hosting services - Online education and training platforms

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology differentiate itself from existing video effects features in popular video communication platforms? 2. What potential challenges or limitations could arise from applying real-time video effects in a video communication session?

Original Abstract Submitted

methods and systems provide for applying a video effect to a video corresponding to a participant within a video communication session. the system displays a video for each of at least a subset of the participants and a user interface including a selectable video effects ui element. the system receives a selection by a participant of the video effects ui element. in response to receiving the selection, the system displays a variety of video effects options for modifying the appearance of the video and/or modifying a visual representation of the participant. the system then receives a selection by the participant of a video effects option, and further receives a subselection for customizing the amount of the video effect to be applied. the system then applies, in real time or substantially real time, the selected video effect in the selected amount to the video corresponding to the participant.
