Patent number: 11789686Abstract: Example apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media facilitate concurrent consumption of media content by multiple users using superimposed animation. An example apparatus includes a display to present media and a visual representation of a person; a sensor; machine-readable instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the machine-readable instructions to at least identify a direction of a gaze of a user based on signals output by the sensor; responsive to the direction of the gaze of the user being toward the media, cause a first adjustment to the visual representation; and responsive to the direction of the gaze of the user being toward the visual representation, cause a second adjustment to the visual representation, the second adjustment different than the first adjustment.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Paul I.

Publication number: 20230185514Abstract: Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media are described herein for facilitation of concurrent consumption of media content by a first user of a first computing device and a second user of a second computing device. In various embodiments, facilitation may include superimposition of an animation of the second user over the media content presented on the first computing device, based on captured visual data of the second user received from the second computing device. In various embodiments, the animation may be visually emphasized on determination of the first user's interest in the second user. In various embodiments, facilitation may include conditional alteration of captured visual data of the first user based at least in part on whether the second user has been assigned a trusted status, and transmittal of the altered or unaltered visual data of the first user to the second computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Paul I.

Patent number: 9640218Abstract: Physiological cues, such as elevated heart or respiratory rates can be masked from video of a person before the video is sent to another party. The masking of human-perceptible and non-human-perceptible physiological cues removes information from the video that another party could use to determine the person's emotional state. For example, variations in a person's skin color that are typically imperceptible to the human eye and from which a person's heart rate can be detected, can be removed or altered so that another party viewing the video cannot determine the person's actual heart rate in an attempt to determine the person's emotional state, even if they are performing computer analysis on the video. The presence of some physiological cues can be determined by detecting that a physiological measure is above a specified physiological measure threshold.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2012Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Garth Shoemaker, Jonathan Thompson
