Interactive Video Conferencing with AI-Driven Virtual Settings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current interactive and supplemental content delivery systems for viewers are decoupled and lack easy-to-deploy video conferencing capabilities, missing the opportunity to facilitate communication through large screen TVs in living rooms.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for providing interactive virtual event sessions that allow multiple devices to connect via a data communication session, with AI-driven adjustment and editing of audio-video feeds, creation of virtual settings, and integration of audio/video input capabilities for enhanced conferencing experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If decoupled separate communication channels are used for content delivery, then content can be provided to viewers, but interactive and supplemental content delivery is limited and video conferencing capabilities are missing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines previously decoupled communication channels (broadcast content delivery and interactive supplemental content delivery) into a unified communication session. This allows video conferencing capabilities to be integrated directly into the content delivery system, enabling participants to interactively share content and communicate through the same platform without requiring separate infrastructure.
2Manufacturing precision
If AI-driven adjustment and editing of audio-video feeds is implemented, then content quality and user engagement are improved, but processing complexity and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs AI-driven adjustments and edits to audio-video feeds in real-time during the communication session. Background removal, subject isolation, and virtual environment integration are applied dynamically as participants join and interact, rather than requiring pre-processing or post-processing steps. This allows high-quality content delivery without requiring complex pre-production workflows.
3Adaptability or versatility
If photorealistic virtual environments are created and integrated in real-time, then user immersion and engagement are enhanced, but rendering complexity and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates photorealistic virtual environments that serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide immersive backgrounds for video conferencing, enable virtual set design for different meeting contexts, and integrate with AI-driven subject isolation and background removal. The same virtual environment infrastructure supports various meeting types and scales, from small team calls to large conferences, without requiring separate rendering systems for each use case.
