US 2022/0036613 A1 · DISPLAY RESPONSIVE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

Abstract

A multimedia communication system and computer-implemented method for transmitting auxiliary display content to an end-user communication device to be rendered on a display device with a special effect to emphasize an image included in the auxiliary display content, comprising a processor and a transmitter. The processor can be arranged to analyze image data included in an auxiliary display content, detect an object image or a background image in the auxiliary display content based on the analysis of the image data, determine a special effect based on the analysis of the image data, and apply the special effect to the auxiliary display content to modify display properties for the auxiliary display content such that the object image is emphasized or pops-out. The transmitter can be arranged to send the auxiliary display content with modified display properties to an end-user communication device. The special effect can comprise a non-customization special effect, a simple foreground special effect or a selective foreground special effect.

Dependent claims

A multimedia communication system for transmitting auxiliary display content to an end-user communication device to be rendered on a display device with a special effect to emphasize an image included in the auxiliary display content, the multimedia communication system comprising:

a processor that is arranged to:
analyze image data included in an auxiliary display content;
detect at least a foreground image and a background image in the auxiliary display content based on the analysis of the image data;
determine a special effect to emphasize the foreground image based on the analysis of the image data, wherein the special effect comprises a predetermined shape with a plurality of portions overlapping with the foreground image;
and
apply the special effect to the auxiliary display content to modify display properties for the auxiliary display content by adding the predetermined shape such that at least one of the plurality of portions overlapping with the foreground image is a non-overlay portion and at least another one of the plurality of portions overlapping with the foreground image is an overlay portion, wherein the foreground image extends from at least an outer side of the overlay portion;
and,
a transmitter arranged to send the auxiliary display content with modified display properties to an end-user communication device.

A computer-implemented method for transmitting auxiliary display content to an end-user communication device to be rendered on a display device with a special effect to emphasize an image included in the auxiliary display content, the method comprising:

analyzing, by a processor, image data included in an auxiliary display content;
detecting, by the processor, at least a foreground image and a background image in the auxiliary display content;
determining, by the processor, a special effect to emphasize the foreground image based on the analysis of the image data, wherein the special effect comprises a predetermined shape with a plurality of portions overlapping with the foreground image;
and
applying, by the processor, the special effect to the auxiliary display content to modify display properties for the auxiliary display content by adding the predetermined shape such that at least one of the plurality of portions overlapping with the foreground image is a non-overlay portion and at least another one of the plurality of portions overlapping with the foreground image is an overlay portion, wherein the foreground image extends from at least an outer side of the overlay portion.
