PatentlyMobile found that it is designed to achieve video chat without using the bandwidth needed to actually transmit live video. Samsung's AR Emoji is basically the Apple version of Animoji.
The patent states: 'Existing video communication systems generally require high bandwidth and are inherently high-latency because the entire image sequence needs to be generated and compressed before the signal is transmitted to another device. In other words, when your data connection When it's a bit, your AR avatar can serve as an avatar for your actual image - and it has a lower bandwidth.
The new system can solve more than just the bandwidth problem. As the patent states, when you are in a video chat, because the camera is usually located above or below the display, you will hardly directly see the person you are chatting with. If it is a virtual version of a chat, the image can be corrected to make it look like the user is looking directly at another user.
The system can use a series of data to accurately represent the user on the display screen. For example, the patent describes the use of biometric sensors including heart rate sensors, pupil dilation sensors, EKG sensors, and the like - all for determining such as the user's emotional state Classes of things, so that the system can accurately represent their other side of the video chat.
Of course, there are some important things to note. Samsung first applied for a patent in March 2016, which was the first two years before the Samsung Galaxy S9 was launched. The Galaxy S9 is a mobile phone that actually started Samsung AR Emoji work, but the AR expression The symbolic video chat feature is nowhere to be seen. Just because Samsung was granted a patent, this does not mean that it will implement it - if it does, it does not know when it will.
