Function based selective segmented video feed from a transmitting device to different participants on a video communication session

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a processor of an electronic device from a connected image capturing device, a video stream comprising video images within sequential video frames;
• identifying, by artificial intelligence (AI) processing, a primary region of interest (ROI) within a video image, the primary region of interest being a smaller area than the video image;
• delineating the video image into two or more segments, including a primary segment that encompasses the primary ROI and at least a secondary segment;
• associating an action center with a virtual interface within a location of the secondary segment in the video image, the virtual interface presenting at least one feature that can be selected via one of air gestures and screen touches during presentation of the primary segment of the video image;
• assigning control features of the virtual interface to at least one selected second device from among a plurality of second devices;
• transmitting, to each of the plurality of second devices, at least the primary segment for displaying at a second display of a corresponding second device during a video communication session;
• and
• concurrently transmitting, to each of the at least one selected second device, the control features of the virtual interface associated with the at least one selected second device to trigger the at least one selected second device to present the virtual interface on the second display, concurrently with presenting the primary segment as parts of a combined video stream from the electronic device, wherein each of the plurality of second devices can be transmitted a different combination of segmented video images comprising at least the primary segment with zero or more virtual interfaces remotely presented on the respective second display for selection at a respective at least one selected second device.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions that when executed by a processor of an electronic device connected to a display device enables the electronic device to perform the functions of:

• receiving, by the processor from a connected image capturing device, a video stream comprising video images within sequential video frames;
• identifying, by artificial intelligence (AI) processing, a primary region of interest (ROI) within a video image, the primary region of interest being a smaller area than the video image;
• delineating the video image into two or more segments, including a primary segment that encompasses the primary ROI and at least a secondary segment;
• associating an action center with a virtual interface within a location of the secondary segment in the video image, the virtual interface presenting at least one feature that can be selected via one of air gestures and screen touches during presentation of the primary segment of the video image;
• assigning control features of the virtual interface to at least one selected second device from among a plurality of second devices;
• transmitting, to each of the plurality of second devices, at least the primary segment for displaying at a second display of a corresponding second device during a video communication session;
• and
• concurrently transmitting, to each of the at least one selected second device, the control features of the virtual interface assigned to the at least one selected second device to trigger the at least one selected second device to present the virtual interface on the second display device, concurrently with presenting the primary segment as parts of a combined video stream from the electronic device, wherein each of the plurality of second devices can be transmitted a different combination of segmented video images comprising at least the primary segment with zero or more virtual interfaces remotely presented on a respective second display for selection at a respective at least one selected second device.
