Video Manipulation Program for Consistent Wearable Overlay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video communication programs do not allow users to personalize their video stream consistently across different platforms, limiting the ability to customize their appearance during video conferences.
Innovation Solution
A video manipulation computer program that captures the input video stream, detects the user's body items, and fits wearable video items onto these items, allowing for personalized video streams that can be registered as a virtual imaging device, enabling consistent personalization across various communication programs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If video communication programs use different filter features for each program, then each program can provide its own effects, but the user cannot personalize consistently across different programs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a virtual imaging device as an intermediary layer between the imaging device and different video communication programs. This virtual device receives the original video stream, applies the wearable video item overlay, and outputs the manipulated stream to various programs, ensuring consistent personalization without requiring each program to have its own configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual imaging device serves multiple functions: it acts as a universal personalization platform that works with different video communication programs, provides consistent wearable video item overlay across all programs, and maintains compatibility without requiring program-specific modifications.
2Ease of operation
If the system fits wearable video items on detected body items, then user personalization is enabled, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by capturing the original video stream directly from the imaging device before any program-specific processing occurs. The wearable video item overlay is prepared and fitted in advance on the detected body item, so that when the video stream is delivered to different programs, the personalization is already in place and requires minimal additional processing.

AI summary
A video manipulation computer program including instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a user device cause the user device to perform manipulating of an input video stream provided by an imaging device of the user device. The manipulation computer program is configured to capture the input video stream of the imaging device, provide the captured input video stream as input video data to the manipulation computer program, detect a person as a body item in the input video data, fit a wearable video item on the body item in the input video data to provide manipulated video data, and output the manipulated video data as manipulated video stream from the manipulation computer program.
