Dynamic Video Area Layout for Multi-Feed Conferencing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video conferencing systems lack the ability to adjust user interfaces, making it inconvenient for users to view multiple meeting locations simultaneously, as they cannot customize the display of video feeds from various participants.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a video display system with modules for interface generation, analysis, layout arrangement, and adjustment, which dynamically determines and adjusts the size and layout of video areas based on the number of video signals and display size, allowing for customizable and optimized display of multiple video feeds on a single interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the user interface is fixed and cannot be adjusted, then the system is simple to implement, but users cannot view multiple meeting locations simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic interface adjustment by allowing the display to automatically adapt its layout based on the number of video feeds received. The system transitions from a static fixed interface to a dynamic interface that reconfigures itself according to the meeting scenario, enabling users to view multiple meeting locations simultaneously while maintaining ease of use.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key interface parameters such as the number of video areas, their arrangement layout, and individual area sizes based on the quantity of video signals received. This parameter adaptation allows the interface to optimize its display configuration for different numbers of participants and meeting locations without requiring manual intervention.
2Ease of operation
If the display shows all video feeds with equal size, then the layout is simple, but users cannot optimize the view for different meeting locations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different video areas to have different sizes and importance levels within the same interface. The system automatically assigns larger display areas to more important or recently active meeting locations, while maintaining simpler layout algorithms for the overall structure. This enables optimized viewing without requiring complex manual configuration.

AI summary
An electronic device for displaying video signals on a display device has a processing device and a storage device. The processing device generates a user interface including video areas for showing the video signals on the display device. The processing device determines a first area size for the video areas based on an interface size of the user interface, a row quantity and an aspect ratio, to arrange the video areas. The processing device adjusts the first area size to generate a second area size and a third area size for the video areas according to the interface size, when the number of the video areas in each row is not equal to each other. The processing device shows the video signals in the video areas based on the second area size and the third area size on the user interface of the display device.
