Abstract
At least one high-quality image of a speaker is captured. A low network quality condition may be detected between a client device and a video service node. In response to detecting the low network quality condition, a data stream comprising changes to the high-quality image of the speaker needed to recreate a representation of the speaker is generated. Transmission of the video stream of the speaker between the client device of the speaker and the video service node is stopped and, simultaneously, transmission of the data stream is begun. A digital twin of the speaker is then generated for display at the client device based on the data stream and the high-quality image of the speaker.
Claims22
A method of maintaining a video stream in a low network quality environment using a digital twin, the method comprising;
- capturing at least one high-quality image of a speaker in the video stream;
- detecting a low network quality condition between a client device and a video service node;
- and
- in response to detecting the low network quality condition between the client device and the video service node:
- generating a data stream comprising changes to the at least one high-quality image of the speaker to recreate a representation of the speaker;
- simultaneously stopping transmission of video data to the client device and beginning transmission of the data stream;
- and
- generating for display, at the client device, a digital twin of the speaker based on the data stream and the at least one high-quality image of the speaker.
A system of maintaining a video stream in a low network quality environment using a digital twin, the system comprising;
- memory;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- capture at least one high-quality image of a speaker in the video stream;
- store the at least one high-quality image in the memory;
- detect a low network quality condition between a client device and a video service node;
- and
- in response to detecting the low network quality condition between the client device and the video service node:
- generate a data stream comprising changes to the at least one high-quality image of the speaker to recreate a representation of the speaker;
- simultaneously stop transmission of video data to the client device and begin transmission of the data stream;
- and
- generate for display, at the client device, a digital twin of the speaker based on the data stream and the at least one high-quality image of the speaker.
