Camera Faceplate Profile for Live Stream Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional approaches for capturing and sharing content through computing devices, such as social networking systems, lack the ability to effectively communicate user interactions and modify settings directly from standalone camera devices, limiting the broadcaster's control over live stream settings and feedback mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a camera device system that allows for the installation of faceplates with associated profiles, which modify device settings and operations, including illumination patterns and visual filters, to communicate user interactions and apply filters to captured content, enabling direct control and feedback from the camera device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional computing devices are used for capturing and sharing content through social networking systems, then content sharing capability is provided, but the ability to effectively communicate user interactions and modify settings directly from camera devices is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces faceplates as intermediary components that physically attach to the camera device and contain embedded indicators (LEDs, displays) and controls. These faceplates serve as mediators between the camera device and the user/social network, enabling direct control over illumination patterns and visual filters without requiring complex software interfaces on the camera device itself or constant communication with remote computing devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera device is enhanced with self-service capabilities through the faceplate attachment system. The device can autonomously modify its illumination patterns and apply visual filters based on inputs from the faceplate controls, without requiring external control from separate computing devices. The embedded indicators on the faceplate provide immediate visual feedback about device state and user interactions directly at the camera location.
2Ease of operation
If broadcasters use remote computing devices to control live stream settings, then setting modification is possible, but direct control from the camera device is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The faceplates come pre-configured with specific illumination patterns and visual filter settings that are ready for immediate use. When a faceplate is attached to the camera device, its associated profile is automatically loaded, pre-establishing the control parameters and visual effects. This eliminates the time required to configure settings from scratch during live broadcasting, as the broadcaster can simply attach a pre-configured faceplate to instantly activate the desired settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The faceplate acts as a local control intermediary that brings the full range of live stream control capabilities directly to the camera device. Through embedded controls and interfaces on the faceplate, broadcasters can modify illumination patterns, apply visual filters, and adjust settings in real-time at the camera location, eliminating the need to remotely access and control settings from separate computing devices during broadcasts.
3Loss of information
If standard illumination patterns are used, then basic feedback is provided, but visual communication of user interactions is limited
Solution Approach 1:
Different portions of the faceplate contain indicators with distinct functions and illumination characteristics. Specific LEDs or display regions are assigned to represent different user interactions (e.g., likes, comments, shares), each with its own color, blinking pattern, or intensity. This local differentiation allows rich information communication about various user interactions without requiring a single complex indicator system, as each interaction type has its own dedicated visual representation at the appropriate location on the faceplate.

AI summary
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a first faceplate installed in the computing device, the first faceplate being an attachment that is capable of being physically installed in the computing device. A faceplate profile associated with the first faceplate can be determined. At least one setting of the computing device or operation performed by the computing device can be modified based at least in part on information specified by the faceplate profile associated with the first faceplate.
