Wide-Angle Video Conferencing Interface for Gesture-Based Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for managing live video communication sessions are cumbersome and inefficient, often requiring multiple key presses or keystrokes, wasting user time and device energy, particularly in battery-operated devices.
Innovation Solution
A method and interface that allows for faster and more efficient management of live video communication sessions by detecting user inputs directed to a surface in the camera's field-of-view and modifying the displayed representation of that surface based on its position relative to the camera, reducing cognitive burden and conserving power.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used to manage live video communication sessions, then the interface can display video content, but the user interface becomes complex and time-consuming requiring multiple key presses or keystrokes
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects user inputs directed to surfaces in the camera field-of-view and modifies the displayed representation without requiring manual interface navigation. The device serves itself by autonomously interpreting gestures and adjusting the video interface based on detected user intent, eliminating the need for multiple key presses or complex interface interactions.
2Productivity
If existing techniques are used to manage live video communication sessions, then the interface can display video content, but user time and device energy are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the camera field-of-view for user inputs directed to surfaces, preparing to modify the displayed representation immediately when a relevant gesture is detected. This preliminary detection and preparation eliminates delays associated with traditional interface navigation, allowing instant response to user gestures and significantly reducing interaction time.
3Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used to manage live video communication sessions, then the interface can display video content, but device energy is consumed faster reducing battery life
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the existing camera feed and automatic gesture detection capabilities to manage the video interface without requiring additional high-power components or continuous active processing. By leveraging already-active sensors and processing pipelines, the system achieves efficient interface management with minimal additional energy consumption.
