Scaling Engine Virtual Background Aspect Ratio
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital communication systems for online video and audio struggle to maintain a realistic and unobstructed view of individuals within virtual backgrounds, leading to a distracting and less immersive user experience due to aspect ratio inconsistencies between background and foreground templates.
Innovation Solution
The Scaling Engine generates a merged video feed by scaling both background and foreground templates to match the same aspect ratio, ensuring an unobstructed view of objects and creating a sense of depth by positioning and modifying the background template based on identified objects, while filtering and overlaying live video feed data to maintain a realistic portrayal of individuals within virtual scenes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If background and foreground templates use different aspect ratios, then each template can maintain its original design proportions, but the merged video feed creates visual obstructions and loses sense of depth
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the aspect ratio of one or both templates (background or foreground) to achieve consistency. The system dynamically adjusts the aspect ratio parameter of the templates during video processing, transforming them from their original aspect ratios to a unified aspect ratio that eliminates visual obstructions and creates depth perception in the merged video feed.
2Ease of operation
If the background template is scaled to match video feed aspect ratio, then unobstructed view of objects is achieved, but the template dimensions change
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the dimensional parameters of the background template by scaling it to match the video feed aspect ratio. This parameter modification allows objects in the background template to be fully visible without obstruction while accepting the necessary change in template proportions to achieve the unified aspect ratio required for proper merging.

AI summary
Various embodiments of an apparatus, method(s), system(s) and computer program product(s) described herein are directed to a Scaling Engine. The Scaling Engine identifies a background object portrayed in a background template for a video feed. The Scaling Engine determines a background template display position for concurrent display of the background object with video feed data. The Scaling Engine generates a scaled background template by modifying a current aspect ratio of the background template with the background object set at the background display position according to a video feed aspect ratio. The Scaling Engine generates a merged video feed by merging the scaled background template with live video feed data, the merged video feed data providing an unobstructed portrayal of the identified background object.
