  • Publication number: 20250193463
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating an output digital video stream. A real-time primary digital video stream is continuously captured and analyzed to detect events or patterns. A first analysis identifies a first event, establishing a first production control parameter after a short delay. A second image or audio analysis, detecting a second event, establishes a second production control parameter after a longer delay. Both control parameters modify the primary video stream, ensuring that adjustments based on the second parameter are applied without introducing additional delay. This produces a modified digital video stream, continuously provided to at least one client. The primary video stream is captured locally, with the first analysis and initial modifications performed locally, while the second analysis is performed remotely. This approach enables real-time content modification without delaying the output stream.

  • Patent number: 12262069
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing a shared digital video stream. A first and a second digital video stream are collected. The shared stream is produced based on the first stream so that the first source is visible in the shared stream, but so that the second source is not visible in the shared stream. The first and/or second stream are analysed to detect a trigger, based on detection of a predetermined image and/or audio pattern, the trigger being a detected gazing or a gesture. The shared stream based on the second stream and/or based on the first source but with at least one of a different cropping, a different zooming, a different panning, or a different focus plane selection. The output stream is provided to a consumer.

  • Patent number: 12184908
    Abstract: Method, systems and computer program product for providing a shared digital video stream. A first and a second digital video stream are collected. The shared stream is produced based on said first stream, so that the first source is visible in the shared stream, but so that the second source is not visible in the shared stream. A latency with respect to the first and the second digital video stream is deliberately introduced. The first and/or second stream are analyzed in to detect a trigger, based on detection of a predetermined image and/or audio pattern. The shared stream is produced based on the second stream and/or based on the first source, but with at least one of: a different cropping, a different zooming, a different panning or a different focus plane selection. The output stream is provided to a consumer.
