US 11,445,148 B1 · Video teleconference curated user profile picture

Abstract

Discrepancies between a current profile picture and a current visual appearance of the user is detected utilizing image data captured during a video teleconference, and potential updates to the user's profile picture are automatically generated and presented to the user for their consideration and selection. Additionally, for greater efficiency, an automated profile picture update process is triggerable by predetermined conditions or events, including hardware conditions, lighting or other environmental conditions, or events detected through other sensors, including concurrent audio analysis of the user during the video teleconference. A set of images, whether still pictures or live pictures, are obtained from the video information. Such an image set is initially filtered to create a smaller subset, which is then graphically modified. An image is selected and compared to an existing user profile image, with the comparison informing the generation of a user notification for choosing a new profile picture.

Dependent claims

A computing device comprising:

a one or more processing units;
and
computer storage media comprising computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by at least some of the one or more processing units, cause the computing device to:
obtain a first set of images from a video teleconference in which a user of the computing device is participating;
select a first selected image from the first set of images;
determine whether a difference between the first selected image and a current profile image associated with the user is greater than a notification threshold;
and
cause a graphical user interface element to be generated on a display device communicationally coupled to the computing device in response to determining that the difference is greater than the notification threshold, the graphical user interface comprising a recommendation to the user to change the current profile image associated with the user to the first selected image.

5 more elements

A computing device comprising:

a one or more processing units;
and
computer storage media comprising computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by at least some of the one or more processing units, cause the computing device to:
trigger execution of an automated profile picture update process based upon audio obtained from a video teleconference in which a user of the computing device is participating;
wherein the automated profile picture update process comprises computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by the at least some of the one or more processing units, cause the computing device to:
obtain a first set of images from the video teleconference;
select a first selected image from the first set of images;
and
cause a graphical user interface element to be generated on a display device communicationally coupled to the computing device, the graphical user interface comprising a recommendation to the user to change a current profile image associated with the user to the first selected image.

6 more elements

A computing device comprising:

a one or more processing units;
and
computer storage media comprising computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by at least some of the one or more processing units, cause the computing device to:
trigger execution of an automated profile picture update process based upon determining at least one of:
a video camera communicationally coupled to the computing device exceeds video camera hardware threshold requirements, the video camera being utilized by a user of the computing device to participate in a video teleconference;
a colorimetric attribute of one or more images from the video teleconference being above a colorimetric attribute threshold;
a current profile image associated with the user being older than a profile image age threshold;
or
a current profile image associated with the user having a score below a profile image;
wherein the automated profile picture update process comprises computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by the at least some of the one or more processing units, cause the computing device to:
obtain a first set of images from the video teleconference;
select a first selected image from the first set of images;
and
cause a graphical user interface element to be generated on a display device communicationally coupled to the computing device, the graphical user interface comprising a recommendation to the user to change the current profile image associated with the user to the first selected image.
