Video Voice Message Enhancement via Virtual Attire Overlay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing use of video calls in professional settings poses a challenge as participants often need to appear professional quickly, despite being in casual attire, and existing technologies do not effectively address the need for enhancing video messages to maintain a professional appearance.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for enhancing video voice messages on mobile devices by using user preferences and contextual information to adjust the presentation, such as backgrounds and attire, through a Dynamic Video Voicemail Irreality Nexus (DyVINe) server, which communicates with the video communication server to provide enhanced video messages to recipients based on their identification and context.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users participate in video calls professionally, then communication effectiveness is improved, but preparation time and stress increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically enhancing the user's video feed with professional backgrounds and attire overlays before the call begins. The enhancement component processes the video stream in advance, applying virtual professional attire and appropriate backgrounds based on user preferences and call context, so that when the user joins the call, they already appear professional without having to prepare or change clothes beforehand.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary enhancement component that acts as a mediator between the user's casual video feed and the professional appearance required for business calls. This intermediary system processes the raw video feed, applies virtual professional attire and background enhancements, and outputs a polished video stream that maintains communication effectiveness while eliminating the need for user preparation.
2Ease of operation
If users wear casual attire, then comfort and ease of operation are improved, but professional appearance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a visual copy or overlay of professional attire on top of the user's casual clothing. Instead of requiring the user to physically change clothes, the enhancement component generates a virtual copy of professional attire that is composited over the user's video feed, maintaining comfort while achieving the desired professional appearance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies color and visual transformations to change the appearance of the user's video feed. The enhancement component uses color grading, filtering, and visual effects to transform the casual appearance into a professional one, adjusting colors, contrasts, and visual characteristics to match professional business attire without physical changes.
3Shape
If video enhancement is applied automatically, then professional appearance is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically detecting call context, user preferences, and appropriate enhancements without requiring manual user input. The enhancement component autonomously processes video streams, selects appropriate professional attire and background overlays based on call metadata and user profiles, and applies enhancements automatically, reducing the burden on users while managing system complexity through automation.
