  • Modifying display of an overlay on video data based on locations of regions of interest within the video data
    Patent number: 10757347
    Abstract: A client device receives video data and displays the video data via a display device. An overlay including content other than the video data is also displayed in a specific area of the display device and at least partially occludes the video data displayed within the specific area of the display device. The client device identifies coordinates of regions of interest within frames of the video data. When the client device determines that at least a threshold amount of a region of interest within the video data is displayed within the specific area of the display device, where the overlay is displayed, for at least a threshold amount of time, the client device increases a transparency of the overlay, repositions the overlay, of otherwise modifies the overlay to prevent the overlay from occluding the region of interest.
