Sony patents video streaming that adjusts visuals for each viewer
Sony describes a system that creates a video stream by running a series of rendering steps, or tasks, on a computer. The system identifies specific tasks that need to change based on a user's characteristics, such as their device or preferences, and modifies those steps to create a unique video stream for each person.
In the filing’s own words
There is described a computer-implemented method for rendering video stream outputs, the method comprising; generating a rendering pipeline comprising a plurality of rendering tasks; determining a first rendering task of the plurality of rendering tasks to be rendered differently dependent on one or more characteristics of a user; and producing a first video stream output to be displayed to a first user having a first characteristic; and amending the first rendering task based on a characteristic of a second user, wherein the characteristic of the second user is different to that of the first user, and producing a second video stream output to be displayed to the second user. There is also described a computer program product and a system.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A computer-implemented method comprising; generating a rendering pipeline comprising a plurality of rendering tasks; determining a first rendering task of the plurality of rendering tasks that is to be rendered differently based at least in part on one or more characteristics of a user; producing a first video stream output that is to be displayed to a first user that has a first characteristic; and amending the first rendering task based at least on a characteristic of a second user that is different than the first characteristic of the first user; and producing a second video stream output that is to be displayed to the second user.
