Abstract
In one embodiment, a method comprises determining that a participant image has a distorted view relative to an optimized view of a participant within a corresponding participant image frame for a web-based videoconference with a presenter; and sending, to a display of a device having generated the participant image, a distorted image of the presenter corresponding to the distorted view in the participant image frame, enabling the participant to adjust the device to minimize the distorted view.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving an optimized view of a presenter centered within a presenter image frame and having been generated by a presenter device;
- determining that a participant image, generated by a participant device, has a distorted view relative to an optimized view of a participant within a corresponding participant image frame for a web-based videoconference with the presenter;
- generating, from the optimized view of the presenter, a distorted image of the presenter having a distortion corresponding to the distorted view of the participant image in the corresponding participant image frame;
- and
- sending, to a display of the participant device having generated the participant image, the distorted image of the presenter corresponding to the distorted view of the participant in the participant image frame, enabling the participant to adjust the participant device to minimize the distorted view in the participant image frame.
An apparatus comprising:
- image detection circuitry configured for determining that a participant image, generated by a participant device, has a distorted view relative to an optimized view of a participant within a corresponding participant image frame for a web-based videoconference with a presenter;
- and
- image generation circuitry configured for receiving an optimized view of the presenter centered within a presenter image frame and having been generated by a presenter device;
- the image generation circuitry further configured for generating, from the optimized view of the presenter, a distorted image of the presenter having a distortion corresponding to the distorted view of the participant image in the corresponding participant image frame;
- the image generation circuitry further configured for sending, to a display of the participant device having generated the participant image, the distorted image of the presenter corresponding to the distorted view of the participant in the participant image frame, enabling the participant to adjust the participant device to minimize the distorted view in the participant image frame.
Logic encoded in one or more non-transitory tangible media for execution and when executed by a machine operable for:
- receiving an optimized view of a presenter centered within a presenter image frame and having been generated by a presenter device;
- determining that a participant image, generated by a participant device, has a distorted view relative to an optimized view of a participant within a corresponding participant image frame for a web-based videoconference with the presenter;
- generating, from the optimized view of the presenter, a distorted image of the presenter having a distortion corresponding to the distorted view of the participant image in the corresponding participant image frame;
- and
- sending, to a display of the participant device having generated the participant image, the distorted image of the presenter corresponding to the distorted view of the participant in the participant image frame, enabling the participant to adjust the participant device to minimize the distorted view in the participant image frame.
