Video Call Information Display for Conversational Material
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video call technologies lack the ability to provide users with additional conversational material during a video call, limiting engagement and interaction beyond the call itself.
Innovation Solution
An information providing method and electronic apparatus that identifies users through face recognition or other means, acquires information-of-interest based on social network service usage, and displays this information on the video call screen, dynamically changing between common and individual interests as needed, with augmented reality animation effects and detailed UIs for selected topics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If video call function is provided in related art apparatuses, then users can communicate through video call, but users have no additional conversational material after completing the subject matter of the video call and must hang up
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-acquires information-of-interest related to the user from social network services before the video call begins. This information is stored and prepared in advance, so that when the video call ends, the user immediately has relevant conversational material available without needing to search or wait for information retrieval.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an information providing server as an intermediary between the user's terminal and social network services. This server acts as a mediator that collects, processes, and delivers relevant information to the user during or after the video call, enabling continuous conversation without requiring direct user access to multiple social network platforms.
2Measurement precision
If face recognition is used to identify users, then user identification accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device performs face recognition and user identification autonomously using its own camera and processing capabilities. The system captures the user's face image, extracts features, and identifies the user without requiring external recognition systems, thereby improving accuracy while avoiding the complexity of integrating multiple external recognition systems.

AI summary
An information providing method and an electronic apparatus thereof are provided. According to the information providing method of the electronic apparatus, when a video call is made, a user making the video call is identified, at least one piece of information-of-interest of the identified user is acquired based on user's usage information on social network services (SNSs), and the at least one piece of information-of-interest is displayed on a video call screen.
