Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a video call device and a method of operating the same, and more particularly, a video call device that allows a user to extract a picture or text required from an external video or a picture and transmit the picture or text to a call partner along with the video call screen. And a method of operation.
The recent trend of communication devices is the introduction of a new communication method that can transfer a large amount of multimedia data between callers with the increase of communication speed and the development of video compression technology. As one of such trends, calls and chats among users, mainly voice or text, are gradually changing to video calls, video conferencing, video chats, etc., which can be used to talk or chat while checking the face of the other party.
For example, in a wired video call phone (ISDN), video conferencing solution, and video chat, an image of a caller photographed through a small camera installed in a telephone, a video conferencing device, or a PC is transmitted to the other party, and the image of the other party is also transmitted to the caller. The video call is made possible.
In particular, in the mobile communication field, a video call using a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) technology, which belongs to the category of 3G communication (3G), is a representative change. Third generation communication uses frequencies of 2GHz and transfer speeds of up to 2Mbps at 128Kbps. Mobile terminal users can reach speeds of up to 384 Kbps when they are stationary or walking, 128 Kbps in running cars, or 2 Mbps when fixed or mounted. This is the speed at which video can be sent and received, which can bring a fundamental difference in the form of use from the 2nd generation mobile communication. That is, not only video-on-demand (VOD) services of various video contents such as music videos, internet broadcasts, cartoons, news, etc., but also video calls that make a call while checking the appearance of the other party can be used in real time.
Video call as described above can be evaluated as a technology that can fundamentally change the existing communication method. However, the reality is that video telephony does not provide more evolved than the application that the call is possible simply by checking the face between the callers.
For example, it is difficult to respond to a case where a simple picture content such as a map map is to be delivered between callers during a video call, or a simple written content such as a telephone number is transmitted between callers. Currently, devices that support video calls have a problem of using image file transmission or text message transmission after discontinuing a video call.
An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a video call device that allows the user to extract the necessary picture or text from the external video or picture during the video call and transmit it to the other party with the video call screen.
Another object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a video call method that allows the user to extract the necessary picture or text from the external video or picture during the video call during the video call to the other party with the video call screen will be.
In order to solve the above object of the present invention, the present invention includes a caller video signal generation unit including a first camera and generating a caller video signal by shooting a caller through the first camera, the external video from the second camera Or an external image input unit for receiving a picture, an external image extracting unit for extracting necessary pictures and / or letters from the video or photo received from the external image input unit, and the call with the pictures or / and letters extracted from the external image extracting unit A video merging unit for merging the caller video signal inputted from the child video signal generating unit to generate video call video data; and a video call transmission processor for transmitting the video call video data and the voice data of the caller together. Provided is an external video synthesis support video call device.
Here, the external image extracting unit may be configured to extract necessary pictures or / and letters by imposing transparency other than the necessary pictures or / and letters among the external videos or photos received from the external image input unit.
Here, the external image extracting unit may be configured to extract necessary pictures or characters by removing the background color from the external video or photo received from the external image input unit.
Here, the video merging unit may be configured to merge the picture or / and letters extracted from the external video extracting unit with the caller video signal input from the caller video signal generating unit to generate the video call image data. have.
Here, when the image merging unit is configured to input pictures and / or letters extracted from the external image extracting unit by strokes and receive them as separate data, the image merging unit extracts the pictures or / and letters extracted from the external image extracting unit. The caller video signal inputted from the caller video signal generator may be merged into integrated data to generate the video call image data.
Here, the external video synthesis supporting video call device may be configured as one of a mobile communication terminal supporting a video call, a video conferencing device, a wired video call terminal, and a computer device supporting video chat.
In order to solve the other object of the present invention described above, the present invention provides a video signal generating step of generating a video signal of the caller by shooting the caller through the first camera, an external video or photo input from the second camera The image input step, the external image extraction step of extracting the necessary picture and / and characters from the video or photo received from the external image input step, the picture or / and characters extracted in the external image extraction step and the caller video signal And a video merging step of merging to generate video data for a video call, and a video call transmission process for transmitting the video call video data and the caller's voice data together. It provides a method of operation.
Here, the external image extracting step may be configured to extract necessary pictures or characters by imposing transparency other than the necessary pictures or characters from the external videos or photos inputted from the external image input unit.
The extracting of the external image may include one of extracting a necessary picture or character and removing a background color of the external video or photo received from the external image input unit.
Here, the video merging step may be configured to generate the video call image data by merging the picture or / and letters input by the external video extraction step and the caller video signal generated in the caller video signal generation step. Can be.
Here, in the image merging step, when the pictures or / and letters extracted in the external image extraction step are input as separate data by inputting them as separate data, the image merging step is the pictures or images extracted through the external image extraction step. It may be configured to generate the video call video data by merging the separate data divided by the stroke of the character and the caller video signal generated in the caller video signal generation step into an integrated data form.
According to the external video synthesizing support video call apparatus and its operation method of the present invention as described above, if it is necessary to transmit texts and pictures that are difficult to transfer only between video callers during a video call, the necessary information is not interrupted. It is possible to deliver easily.
For example, if you want to deliver the contents of a picture such as a map between callers, or if you want to convey the contents written in a text such as a phone number between the callers, take a video or picture containing pictures, etc. It is possible to transfer information from the call counterpart just by doing so.
As the present invention allows for various changes and numerous embodiments, particular embodiments will be illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the written description.
However, this is not intended to be limited to the specific embodiment of the present invention, it should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutes included in the spirit and scope of the present invention.
