Abstract

Disclosed are a method of learning relationship among characters in video call or its background, temporal and spatial information, and visual objects and automatically recommending and providing a visual object using the relationship, and a system configured to execute the method. A method of providing video call may include: storing a visual object selection model including relation information between at least one visual object and at least one selection factor, by a video call providing system; and automatically determining, by the video call providing system, a recommended visual object to be displayed on at least one of a terminal and a counterpart terminal of the terminal performing video call, at a point of time specified for displaying a visual object, based on the visual object selection model.

Dependent claims

A method of providing video call service by performing the video call on user terminals, the method comprising the steps of:

storing, by a video call providing system, a visual object selection model including relation information between at least one visual object and at least one selection factor;
and
automatically determining, by the video call providing system, a recommended visual object to be displayed on at least one of user terminals performing video call, and automatically recommending the visual object at a point of specified for displaying a visual object, based on the visual object selection model and a selection condition, the selection condition comprising:
at least one appearance condition of a character;
at least one background condition;
at least one time-related condition;
at least one location-related condition;
a profile condition;
and a call voice-related condition,
wherein the determining of the recommended visual object comprises:
acquiring the at least one appearance information of a character appearing on a video call screen from the video call screen photographed by at least one of the user terminals at a point of time specified for displaying the visual object;
acquiring the at least one background information around the character appearing on the video call screen from the video call screen photographed by at least one of the user terminals at the point of time specified for displaying the visual object;
acquiring location information of the user terminals;
acquiring profile information of a user of the user terminals;
acquiring call voice-related information from a call voice of the video call performed at the user terminals;
and
determining any one of the at least one visual object as the recommended visual object based on at least one of the at least one appearance information of the character, the at least one background information, the location information of the user terminals, the point of time specified for displaying the visual object, the profile information and the call voice-related information, and the visual object selection model.

14 more elements

A system for providing video call, the system comprising:

a storage module configured to store a visual object selection model including relation information between at least one visual object and at least one selection condition;
and
a control module configured to automatically determine a recommended visual object that will be displayed on at least one of a plurality of user terminals performing the video call, at a point of time specified for displaying a visual object, based on the visual object selection model and a selection condition, the selection condition including:
at least one appearance condition of a character;
at least one background condition;
at least one time-related condition;
at least one location-related condition;
a profile condition;
and a call voice-related condition,
wherein the control module is configured to:
acquire the at least one appearance information of a character appearing on a video call screen from the video call screen photographed by at least one of the user terminals at the point of time specified for displaying the visual object;
acquire the at least one background information around the character appearing on the video call screen from the video call screen photographed by at least one of the user terminals at the point of time specified for displaying the visual object;
acquire location information of the user terminals;
acquire profile information of a user of the user terminals;
acquire call voice-related information from a call voice of the video call performed at the user terminals;
and
determine any one of the at least one visual object as the recommended visual object based on at least one of the at least one appearance information of the character, the at least one background information, the location information of the user terminals, the point of time specified for displaying the visual object, the profile information and the call voice-related information and the visual object selection model.
