Video Call Display Handover With Privacy Notification Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video call systems fail to protect the privacy of users when a mobile device is substituted with a larger display device during a video call, leading to unintended exposure of the user's image to multiple viewers.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that includes generating a notification signal to inform the counterpart device about the substitution, allowing the user to accept or reject the change, and controlling the image transmission based on the response, ensuring privacy is maintained.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a mobile device is substituted with a display device during a video call to provide a larger screen, then the viewing area is improved, but the privacy of the user whose device is substituted is worsened due to unintended exposure of the user's image to multiple viewers
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by sending a notification signal to the counterpart device before the video call screen is output on the display device. This advance notification allows the counterpart user to be aware of the substitution and make an informed decision about whether to proceed, thereby preventing unintended privacy exposure while enabling the larger viewing area benefit.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by receiving a response signal from the counterpart device after sending the notification. Based on this feedback, the system determines whether to actually perform the video call substitution. This feedback mechanism ensures that the user's privacy is protected by only proceeding with substitution when explicitly authorized.
2Ease of operation
If the display device automatically performs video call substitution without notification, then the ease of operation is improved, but the privacy protection is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains ease of operation by automating the substitution process while incorporating privacy protection through feedback. The notification signal and response mechanism provide necessary user awareness and authorization, ensuring that automatic substitution does not compromise privacy protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary notification to the counterpart device before executing the substitution. This preliminary action balances ease of operation with privacy protection by informing the user of the upcoming substitution, allowing them to make an informed decision while still benefiting from the convenient automated process.

AI summary
A video call processing method includes receiving a substitution request that a video call being performed by a mobile device be performed by the display device, generating, by the display device based on the substitution request, a notification signal corresponding to the substitution request, and transmitting, before a video call screen that includes an image of a counterpart of the video call is output by the display device, the notification signal to a counterpart device, which is a mobile device of the counterpart.
