Meta patents system to adjust 3D video quality based on viewer feedback
Meta describes a method for managing 3D video calls by analyzing which participants are visible on each user's screen. The system uses this data to automatically adjust the video quality, such as resolution or data rate, for other participants to optimize performance.
In the filing’s own words
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can be configured to perform operations comprising determining three dimensional (3D) video associated with devices in a 3D video call, determining feedback control information from a first device of the devices, and providing adjustment information for a second device of the devices based on the feedback control information.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: determining, by a computing system, three dimensional (3D) video associated with devices in a 3D video call; determining, by the computing system, feedback control information from a first device of the devices; providing, by the computing system, adjustment information for a second device of the devices based on the feedback control information, wherein the feedback control information comprises field of view information from the first device indicating which users in the 3D video call are displayed by the first device, and wherein the adjustment information causes the second device to increase or decrease at least one of a bit rate, a frame size, or a number of points in a point cloud based on a number of devices in the 3D video call for which 3D video of the second device is displayed; and determining, by the computing system, at least one of: network conditions, available bandwidth, link quality, or channel condition associated with the second device, wherein the adjustment information is based on the at least one of: network conditions, available bandwidth, link quality, or channel conditions.
