Description

The present invention relates to a video conference back screen panel used when the background is not to be shown to the other party in a video conference (or video conference, or online conference).

Recently, Internet communication such as optical communication and WiFi has been completed not only in offices but also at home, and remote work (or telework, etc.) is a style of working without commuting in order to prevent the spread of virus infection. Working from home) is rapidly taking root. At that time, video conferencing (or video conferencing, or online conferencing) on the WEB, which is held while looking at the screen on a device such as a personal computer or smartphone, has become widespread, but the background behind when the camera of the personal computer shows one's face. In many cases, you do not want to show the background at home because it will be reflected.

Many video conferencing applications that allow multiple people to communicate simultaneously for business use are equipped with automatic recognition of backgrounds other than the face and blurring, or erasing and compositing with another image, but one-to-one. Simple video applications such as the basic message app do not have blurring or compositing features.

Even if it has a blurring and compositing function, for example, when explaining while holding a product sample with a color similar to the background color, the product sample disappears along with the background, and that function is also perfect. I can't say. Therefore, if you want to display the image as it is, it is necessary to prepare a physical background.

If you really want to synthesize beautifully, some apps recommend a method that allows you to synthesize chroma key with a green background (green background). To use this green background, set up a stand to install the screen behind yourself, attach a roll-shaped green screen used in photo studios to the stand and hang it, or prepare a large green panel. It is necessary to install it using a stand or the like, which is troublesome and costly, and it is also necessary to secure a large space.

Therefore, a foldable type as shown in Patent Document 1 has been proposed for use as a tsuitate to prevent the line of sight for a similar purpose.

Further, as a device for installing a background screen used at the time of photography, a paper structure as shown in Patent Document 2 and a screen stand using the same have been proposed.

Further, as a method for manufacturing a screen for erasing or synthesizing only a specific image portion, a green screen for chroma key composition as shown in Patent Document 3 has been proposed.

Further, as a device equipped with lighting and a power source and capable of suspending a background screen, an imaging assist device as shown in Patent Document 3 has been proposed.
