Abstract

A computerized system comprising a processing unit and a memory, the system operating in connection with a real-time video conference stream containing a video of a user, wherein the memory embodies a set of computer-executable instructions, which cause the computerized system to perform a method involving: receiving the real time video conference stream containing the video of the user; detecting and separating the background in the received real time video conference stream from the user; and replacing the separated background with a background received from a system of a second user or with a pre-recorded background.

Claims (18)

1. A computerized system comprising a processing unit and a memory, the system operating in connection with a real-time video conference stream containing a video of a user, wherein the memory embodies a set of computer-executable instructions, which cause the computerized system to perform a method comprising:

a. receiving the real time video conference stream containing the video of the user;

b. finding and separating a reflection in the received real time video conference stream; and

c. modifying the separated reflection in the received real time video conference stream by replacing the separated reflection with a new reflection using a video conference stream of a second user.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the modifying the separated reflection comprises darkening the separated reflection.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the separated reflection is eye glasses of the user.

4. A method for operating a system in connection with a real-time video conference stream containing a video of a user comprising:

a. receiving the real time video conference stream containing the video of the user;

b. finding and separating a reflection in the received real time video conference stream; and

c. modifying the separated reflection in the received real time video conference stream by replacing the separated reflection with a new reflection using a video conference stream of a second user.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the modifying the separated reflection comprises darkening the separated reflection.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the separated reflection is eye glasses of the user.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium, storing instructions for executing a process for in connection with a real-time video conference stream containing a video of a user, the instructions comprising:

a. receiving the real time video conference stream containing the video of the user;

b. finding and separating a reflection in the received real time video conference stream; and

c. modifying the separated reflection in the received real time video conference stream by replacing the separated reflection with a new reflection using a video conference stream of a second user.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the modifying the separated reflection comprises darkening the separated reflection.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the separated reflection is eye glasses of the user.
