Real-Time Video Chat Overlay for Preserving Message Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video communication methods in social applications lack diversity in display, often obscuring chat content and notification information, leading to poor real-time performance.
Innovation Solution
A method where the image collected by a first terminal is displayed on a chat page with superimposed chat and notification information, and sent to a second terminal for simultaneous display, allowing flexible adjustment of the superimposed area to avoid obstruction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If video image occupies full screen, then video display quality is improved, but chat content and notification information become obscured
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is segmented into multiple display regions: a video display area and a chat information area. The video image is displayed in the video area while chat content and notification information are displayed in the chat information area, allowing both video quality and text visibility to be maintained simultaneously without mutual obstruction.
Solution Approach 2:
The layout transitions from a single-dimension full-screen video display to a two-dimensional spatial arrangement that accommodates both video content and chat information. By organizing elements in different spatial zones, the system preserves visibility of both video and text without requiring one to obscure the other.
2Illumination intensity
If video communication uses traditional full-screen mode, then video clarity is improved, but real-time interaction efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is divided into functional segments where video display and chat interaction occur simultaneously in dedicated areas. This segmentation allows users to maintain visual contact through clear video while concurrently reading and sending messages, thereby improving interaction efficiency without sacrificing video clarity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables continuous multitasking by displaying video and chat information simultaneously. Users can continuously monitor video feed while continuously interacting via chat, eliminating the need to switch between full-screen video mode and chat mode, thus maintaining continuous useful action in both communication channels.
3Illumination intensity
If video is displayed separately from chat interface, then video quality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The video display function and chat interface are merged into a single unified screen layout. Rather than requiring separate full-screen modes or additional devices, both functions coexist in the same interface space, reducing device complexity while maintaining video quality through the segmented display approach.

AI summary
A video processing method and an apparatus are provided in embodiments of the present disclosure. The method includes: detecting an operation instruction of a first user; in response to the operation instruction, displaying an image collected by a camera of the first terminal on a chat page of the first user with a second user in real time, superposing and displaying remaining information except the image within a preset area on the image; and sending the image collected by the camera of the first terminal to a second terminal in real time as a video frame, so that the second terminal displays the image on a chat page of the second user with the first user in real time, and superposes and displays remaining information except the image within a preset area on the image; where the first terminal is a terminal corresponding to the first user, and the second terminal is a terminal corresponding to the second user. The embodiments of the present disclosure help to enrich diversity of video display without affecting display of the remaining information of the first user and the second user.
