Series 117 (LOT 16960)

This portfolio is generally related to various technologies such as intelligent video conferencing systems, adaptively dewarping wide-angle video, recommending activities based on common interests in video calls, determining moving objects in captured video frames, and techniques to initiate a communication session with a user based on the device location. Techniques are disclosed to access input data received from various sources, such as cameras, microphones, or a social network system based on input data. The system generates a current descriptive model for a current audio-video communication session based on an environment, people within the environment, and contextual elements. The system generates instructions for the current session based on descriptive characteristics and sends the instructions to the source devices. Another set of patents in the portfolio discloses a technique for video processing by adaptively dewarping wide-angle video frames to correct image distortion caused by camera tilt by computing a non-linear tilt parameter based on the object’s vertical position in the image and applying a dewarping function. Few patents in the portfolio disclose a technique to enhance video calls by analyzing participants’ shared interests and recommending a relevant in-call activity, such as a quiz, game, etc., to boost engagement. A patent in the portfolio discloses a technique to detect moving objects by identifying dynamic regions in video frames and selectively capturing those regions in higher resolution for precise motion analysis. Further disclosed is a technique to intelligently route communication requests by detecting nearby users and selecting the most appropriate device for the intended user based on context-aware settings. The technology may be implemented in smart video conferencing systems, context-aware live streaming systems, social video calls, entertainment platforms, virtual meetings, group learning systems, social video chats, counseling sessions, social networking systems, security systems, augmented reality systems, smart home communication systems, multi-device call routing systems, workspace communication systems, etc.
