Video Conference Highlighting via Priority-Based Display Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video conferencing systems fail to effectively highlight a party of interest among participants, impacting conference efficiency due to the lack of differentiation in displaying video images from multiple terminals.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that convert audio and video signals from multiple conferencing terminals into independent video images, allowing for the adjustment of display factors based on video image priority signals, enabling visual differentiation and highlighting of a party of interest through selective input or audio energy detection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If all participants' video images are displayed with the same display factors, then all participants can be seen equally, but no party of interest can be effectively highlighted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating display factors for different video images based on their importance. The processing unit adjusts display factors according to video image priority signals, making the display characteristics non-uniform across different participants. This allows the system to maintain the ability to display all participants while enabling effective highlighting of specific parties of interest through enhanced display factors for selected images.
2Ease of operation
If display factors are adjusted to highlight a party of interest, then visual differentiation is achieved, but bandwidth usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by selectively adjusting display factors only for video images that have been identified as having high priority (parties of interest), rather than uniformly increasing display factors for all participants. The processing unit receives priority signals and applies enhanced display factors only to those specific video images, thereby achieving effective highlighting while minimizing unnecessary bandwidth consumption that would result from universal enhancement.
