Video Image Adjustment System for Conference Participant Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current conference video servers are unable to display all conference participants' images when the number exceeds a predetermined value, and clients cannot select specific images, limiting customization and visibility.
Innovation Solution
A computing device with a video image adjustment system that includes a receiving, sending, determining, and controlling module, which allows clients to request and customize video images by merging participant images based on selection, adjusting output resolution and layout dynamically to accommodate varying participant numbers and client preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the number of conference participants exceeds a predetermined value, then the video server can only display images of a part of participants, but this limits the visibility of all participants
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the video image processing into multiple segments by introducing template images that represent different groups of participants. Instead of processing all participant images simultaneously, the system segments them into multiple template images, each containing a subset of participants, thereby reducing the processing burden on the video server while maintaining visibility of all participants across multiple selectable views
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to the display system by creating template images as an intermediate layer between raw participant videos and client displays. This dimensional transformation allows the system to pre-process and organize participant images into manageable templates, enabling clients to select from multiple organized views rather than overwhelming them with all raw participant feeds
2Ease of operation
If the video server displays only a part of conference participants, then the processing load is reduced, but clients cannot select specific participant images according to their needs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing participant images into organized template images before transmission to clients. The video server prepares multiple template images in advance, each containing different groupings or arrangements of participant images, so that clients receive pre-organized content ready for selection without requiring complex real-time processing or selection capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by creating multiple template image copies from the same set of participant videos. Each template image is a copied and reorganized representation of participant images, allowing clients to select from multiple copied views without requiring the server to generate entirely new content for each selection option, thereby reducing processing load while maintaining selection capability

AI summary
A computing device is electronically connected to one or more clients for a video conference. The computing device firstly sends a first video image to the clients. When a client requests a custom video image, the computing device obtains a second video image by merging images of all conference participants for the client, and sends to the client. The client selects information from the second video image and sends the information to the computing device. After receiving the information, the computing device creates the custom video image according to the received information, and sends the custom video image to the client.
