Abstract
A system and method of adaptive video interface switching between a mobile electronic communications device and a wearable device entail determining during an ongoing video session via a first one of the devices that an audio or video input or output mechanism on the first device is compromised. It is determined that the audio and video input and output mechanisms on a second of the devices are uncompromised. The video session is then continued using at least one of the audio and video input and output mechanisms on the second device.
Claims20
A mobile electronic communications device implementing adaptive video interface switching, the mobile electronic communications device comprising:
- at least one video camera;
- at least one video display;
- at least one microphone (mic);
- at least one speaker;
- a data interface to a wearable communication device associated with a user of the mobile electronic communications device and also having a video camera and a video display, a mic and a speaker;
- a processor linked to the at least one video camera, at least one video display, at least one mic, at least one speaker of the mobile electronic communications device, and the data interface, configured to detect during a video interface session including both audio and video that the at least one video camera or at least one video display of the mobile electronic communications device is covered and, in response to activate the data interface to use the video camera and video display of the wearable communication device.
A method of adaptive video interface switching between a mobile electronic communications device and a wearable device, the method comprising:
- detecting during a video interface session on the mobile electronic communications device that at least one of a mic, speaker, video camera or video display of the mobile electronic communications device is covered;
- and
- activate a data link to the wearable device in response to said detecting;
- and
- continuing the video interface session using one or more of a mic, speaker, video camera or video display of the of the wearable device.
A method of adaptive video interface switching between a mobile electronic communications device and a wearable device, the method comprising:
- determining during an ongoing video session via a first device of the mobile electronic communications device or the wearable device that an audio or video input or output mechanism on the first device is compromised;
- determining that audio and video input and output mechanisms on a second device of the mobile electronic communications device or the wearable device are uncompromised;
- and
- continuing the ongoing video session using at least one of the audio and video input and output mechanisms on the second device.
