User Image Insertion in Media via Region Priority Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multimedia devices struggle to seamlessly integrate user images into media content while avoiding obstruction of high-priority visual objects, and they lack automated detection of user states to control image inclusion.
Innovation Solution
The system employs a client device with multiple cameras and sensors to capture user and scene content, using region priority mapping and user state detection to insert user images into low-priority regions, thereby avoiding obstruction of high-priority visual objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If user images are inserted into media content to enhance user engagement, then user interaction and relevance are improved, but visual objects may be obstructed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating regions within the visual content into high-priority regions (containing important visual objects) and low-priority regions (background or less important areas). User images are selectively inserted only into low-priority regions, allowing the image to be displayed without obstructing important visual objects. This regional differentiation enables the system to maintain both user engagement through image insertion and visual clarity by protecting high-priority regions from obstruction.
2Manufacturing precision
If automated user state detection is implemented to control image inclusion, then media content quality is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically detect user states (such as whether the user is speaking or looking at the camera) and autonomously determine when to insert or remove user images from media content. This automated detection eliminates the need for manual control while maintaining high media content quality, as the system adapts its behavior based on real-time user state analysis without requiring complex manual intervention or overly complicated control mechanisms.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple cameras and sensors are used to capture user and scene content, then media content completeness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a multi-camera system where different cameras serve multiple functions: some cameras capture scene content while others capture user images, and the same hardware infrastructure supports both purposes. The system uses a unified processing architecture to handle content from multiple cameras, determining which camera captures which content based on real-time needs. This multi-functional approach enables complete media content capture (both scene and user) without proportionally increasing device complexity, as the system leverages existing hardware capabilities for multiple purposes.

AI summary
Techniques for user image presentation based on region priority are described and are implementable to enable an image of a user to be inserted into media content. For instance, media content is generated that includes at least one high priority region and at least one low priority region. Further, a user image is captured to be inserted into the media content. Accordingly, the user image is inserted into the at least one low priority region to avoid obstructing high priority visuals displayed within the at least one high priority region.
