Video Stream Region Magnification for Online Events
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional video conferencing systems lack the ability to magnify specific regions of a video stream, making it difficult for users to clearly view detailed information within a larger video coverage, such as the brand name of equipment in a streamed event.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a first and second data processing system, where the second processor module receives user instructions to magnify a region of the video stream and displays the magnified area within a display window, utilizing a communication network and remote server to enable user-controlled magnification during online events.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If conventional video streaming tools are used to cover a large area, then the coverage area is increased, but the ability to view fine details is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the video stream into multiple selectable regions of interest (ROIs). Users can select specific regions within the broader video coverage to view in detail. This segmentation allows the system to maintain large-area coverage while enabling detailed inspection of specific segments through magnification of selected ROIs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a magnification dimension by displaying an enlarged view of the selected region alongside or overlaid on the original video stream. This creates a second viewing dimension where users can simultaneously see both the broad context and fine details, effectively adding a spatial dimension to the viewing experience.
2Ease of operation
If conventional video streaming tools are used, then the system simplicity is maintained, but the magnification functionality is unavailable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enhances conventional video streaming tools with additional magnification functionality, making the system multi-functional. The same video streaming platform can now serve both broad coverage needs and detailed inspection needs, increasing its versatility without requiring completely separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer (the magnification module) that sits between the video stream source and the display interface. This intermediary processes the video stream to extract and magnify regions of interest, adding functionality without fundamentally changing the core video streaming infrastructure.
Data Source
AI summary
A system enabling magnification of a video stream during an online event. The system comprises a first data processing system and a second data processing system. The first data processing system comprises a first processor module and a first digital client, wherein the first processor module causes the first digital client to share at least a first video stream with the second data processing system. The second data processing system comprises a second processor module, a second digital client and a second digital client display interface, wherein in the second digital client comprises a second digital client display interface, wherein the second digital client displays in the second digital client display interface, visual content of the first video stream in a display window. The second processor module is configured to receive an instruction from a user associated with the second data processing system, wherein the instruction comprises information related to a region of the first video stream to be magnified. Further, the second processor module is configured to magnify the region of the first video stream based on the instruction provided by the user and cause the second digital client display interface to display the magnified region of the first video stream in the display window.
