REAL-TIME AUGMENTED REALITY COSMETIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VIDEO CALLS

Smart overview of the Invention

The patent application outlines a system for applying virtual cosmetics during video calls. This system allows users to select a virtual cosmetic look which is then applied in real-time to their facial features during the call. The application of these virtual cosmetics is dynamic, adjusting based on the user's facial characteristics and the conditions of the communication channel.

Technical Field

The technology focuses on enhancing personal appearance in digital communications, particularly in video calls. By using augmented reality, the system provides a sophisticated method for applying digital cosmetics, overcoming limitations of traditional makeup and lighting adjustments. It also adapts to changes in video call quality, ensuring consistent appearance.

Functionality

The system comprises processors and memory that execute instructions to manage virtual cosmetics. It overlays cosmetics on a user's facial features in a real-time image stream and transmits this enhanced stream during video calls. The system adjusts the overlay based on communication channel characteristics like bandwidth and latency, ensuring optimal appearance.

Customization and Adaptation

Users can customize their virtual look based on personal preferences. The system adapts to changes in the user's environment, such as lighting and movement, by modifying the cosmetic overlay. It also uses machine learning to enhance the realism of the virtual cosmetics, tailoring them to the user's unique facial features.

Variations and Embodiments

The system can replace the user's image with a static image or avatar if the communication channel degrades significantly. It includes a virtual look data store for retrieving cosmetic looks and can adjust complexity based on channel stability. This adaptability ensures the system maintains a high-quality user experience during video calls.
