Patent number: 11380022Abstract: An electronic device and method are provided for content modification in a shared session among multiple head-mounted display (HMD) devices. The electronic device determines emotional state information associated with a wearer of each of a plurality of HMD devices. Each HMD device renders media content in a computer-simulated environment and the emotional state information corresponds to a first portion of the rendered media content. The electronic device constructs an input feature for a first neural network based on the first portion of the rendered media content and the emotional state information. The electronic device selects, from a set of content modification operations, a first content modification operation based on an application of the first neural network on the input feature. Thereafter, the electronic device modifies the rendered media content based on the selected first content modification operation. The modified media content is rendered on at least one HMD device.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventors: Sandeep Rajarathnam, Prashanth Puttamalla

Patent number: 11064108Abstract: A media processing apparatus and method for frame rate control based on rendered objects. The media processing apparatus receives a first plurality of image frames which may include a first plurality of objects from a first image capturing device. The media processing apparatus receives a first user input corresponding to a first object from a first media rendering device. The media processing apparatus determines a first speed of movement of the first object based on an analysis of a first set of consecutive image frames from the first plurality of image frames and calculates a first frame rate based on the determined first speed of movement of the first object. The first image capturing device captures a second plurality of image frames at the first frame rate. The media processing apparatus transmits the captured second plurality of image frames to the first media rendering device.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Prashanth Puttamalla, Ashwin Kulkarni, Sankar Shanmugam

Patent number: 10917571Abstract: An image processing device is disclosed. The image processing device controls an image capture device to capture at least first image that comprises one or more objects. The image processing device identifies at least a first object in the first image. The image processing device determines a first blur value of identified first object and determines the identified first object as a blur object based on the first blur value. The image processing device adjusts a focal point of the image capture device to focus on the blurred first object. The image processing device controls the image capture device to capture a second image of the first object based on adjusted focal point. The image processing device replaces the first object in first image with the first object in the second image to generate an output image and further controls the display screen to display well-focused output image.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Sankar Shanmugam, Prashanth Puttamalla, Ashwin Kulkarni, Madhvesh Sulibhavi

Patent number: 10848664Abstract: A first image capture device includes a display that renders a preview of a scene and a processor that determines a cumulative image score associated with each camera setting for a specified time period, based on the rendered preview. The processor captures a first video segment of a video using a first camera setting. The first camera setting is associated with a first cumulative image score equal to or greater than a set image score threshold. The processor detects a change in the first cumulative image score to a second cumulative image score for an upcoming video segment, based on a video buffer. The second cumulative image score is less than the set image score threshold. The processor captures a second video segment corresponding to the upcoming video segment using a second camera setting to maintain the cumulative image score equal to or greater than the set image score threshold.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Kanimozhi Udayakumar, Sandeep Rajarathnam, Prashanth Puttamalla, Madhvesh Sulibhavi

Patent number: 9990693Abstract: Various aspects of a device and a method for rendering multimedia content are disclosed herein. The method determines a ratio between a first resolution of multimedia content and a second resolution of a display screen of a display device. At least one user input is received that selects a region of interest (ROI) on the multimedia content being rendered on the display screen. Based on the determined ratio, the selected ROI on the multimedia content being rendered on the display screen is dynamically modified based on the determined ratio.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2014Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Ashwin D.
