AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing techniques fail to adequately represent the appearance of users in electronic devices when sensor data is incomplete due to obstruction, such as when a user's mouth is obscured by hands, pens, cups, or food, leading to inaccurate facial representations.

Method used

The system detects when a portion of the user's face, such as the mouth, is obscured and uses previous user data to generate a representation during the obscured period, combining live and past data to maintain a realistic appearance, and applies visual treatments to indicate the non-live nature of the obscured area.

Benefits of technology

Ensures a continuous and realistic user representation by blending live and past data, while indicating non-live areas, thus maintaining a smooth and accurate visual experience during obstructions.

Abstract

The various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems and methods that detect that a section of a user's face (e.g. the user's mouth) is obscured or about to be obscured in the sensor data and accordingly determine to use previous user data to generate at least a section of a user representation during the period in which the facial section is obscured.
