Virtual relocation of conference participants during video calls
The patent US12047430B2 outlines a method and system for relocating conference participants during a network conference. The process begins with receiving a video stream from a client device, which includes a background that needs to be removed. The system then transmits a second video stream with a different background and requests the client to modify the original video stream by removing its background. Once the modified video stream is received, the system defines a position for this stream within the new background and sends instructions to the client device to relocate the modified stream accordingly. The method allows for adjustments in position, size, aspect ratio, or rotation of the video stream within the new background.
Additionally, the patent describes a system that includes a communications interface, a non-transitory computer-readable medium, and processors configured to execute the necessary instructions for this process. The system can also handle multiple client devices, allowing for the relocation of video streams from different participants within the same background. The instructions for relocation can include specific parameters such as position and size, and the system may require authorization to define these parameters. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to enhancing the visual arrangement of participants in virtual conferences, improving the user experience in remote communication settings.
