  • Publication number: 20240146877
    Abstract: Interactions with objects depicted within video streams displayed during a video conference are detected to cause information associated with the interacted objects to be presented. During a video conference, multiple video layers of a video stream obtained from a first participant device connected to the video conference are identified. An interaction with an object within one of those multiple video layers is detected during the video conference, in which the interaction is from a second participant device connected to the video conference. Based on the interaction, information associated with the object is presented during the video conference within a graphical user interface associated with the video conference. The video stream may, for example, initially include a background layer, a foreground layer, and an overlay layer. Interactive video layers corresponding to each of those initial layers may be introduced to receive interactions with objects depicted therein.

  • Publication number: 20190180392
    Abstract: Systems for providing on-demand food service material printing for food service are provided herein. Once a customer places a request for food service, the system can determine the order information about the customer's order and personalization information about the customer or store. Such information may be printed on a food service material item by a printer/dispenser in the store. The printed food service material item can then be used in preparation of the food order and provided to the customer—providing a more personalized customer experience. Such a system may be used to provide on-demand printing for any food service material item including, for example, food wrap, food containers, cups, carry-out bags, tray liners, pouches, napkins, among many others. Such systems may provide many advantages, including for example personalization of food service material and/or real-time promotion availability for stores. Example food service material dispensers are also provided herein.
