Abstract:
A method and apparatus for dynamically adjusting an aspect ratio of an image during a video call is described herein. Specifically, a method for dynamically adjusting the aspect ratio of an image during a video call may include obtaining at least one display parameter of a display device, performing a comparison of the at least one display parameter to at least one image capture parameter of a capture device, capturing an original image, modifying the original image based on the comparison performed, wherein the modified image has an adjusted aspect ratio different from an aspect ratio of the original image, and sending the modified image to the display device.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for expanding a field of view of an image during a video communication session. In some embodiments, a method includes transmitting a first video image having a first field of view during the video telecommunication session. The methods and apparatus further capturing a first set of background images, at least some of which are combined to form a first composite background image having a second field of view that is greater than the first field of view. Further, superimposing at least a portion of the first video image over the first composite background image to form a second video image having a same field of view as the first composite background image and transmitting the second video image during the video telecommunication session.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for verifying an end-user device during provisioning using caller ID (CID) are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for verifying an end-user device during provisioning using CID may include receiving a first CID from the end-user device, associating a validation key with the first CID, sending a first signaling message to the end-user device including the validation key, receiving a second signaling message from the end-user device that includes a second CID, and performing a verification analysis of the end-user device using the second CID and the validation key.
Abstract:
A method for generating customized menus for accessing application functionality of a mobile device comprising detecting a gesture performed on a display of the mobile device and displaying a quick menu on the display containing preview information pertaining to one or more applications based on the detected gesture.
Abstract:
IP telephony communications are conducted by sending both data produced by a CODEC that represents received spoken audio input, and a textual representation of the spoken audio input. A receiving device utilizes the textual representation of the spoken audio input to help recreate the spoken audio input when a portion of the CODEC data is missing. The textual representation can be generated by a speech-to-text function. Alternatively, the textual representation can be a notation of extracted phonemes.
