An improved system and method are disclosed for improving functionality in software applications. In one example, the method includes a computing entity having a network interface, a processor, and a memory configured to store a plurality of instructions. The instructions include instructions for a superblock application having instructions for a function block included therein. The function block is configured to provide functions that are accessible to the superblock application via an application programming interface (API). The functions are provided within the superblock application itself and are accessible within the superblock application without switching context to another application on the computing entity.

Various client devices include displays and one or more image capture devices configured to capture video data. Different users of an online system may authorize client devices to exchange information captured by their respective image capture devices. Additionally, a client device modifies captured video data based on users identified in the video data. For example, the client device changes parameters of the image capture device to more prominently display a user identified in the video data and may further change parameters of the image capture device based on gestures or movement of the user identified in the video data. The client device may apply multiple models to captured video data to modify the captured video data or subsequent capturing of video data by the image capture device.

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication of an apparatus, e.g., a UE. In one aspect, the apparatus may determine whether a connection of a video call is interrupted, the video call including a plurality of decoded frames. The apparatus may also determine, if the connection of the video call is interrupted, whether one or more decoded frames of the plurality of decoded frames are suitable for artificial frame generation. The apparatus may also generate one or more artificial frames based on the one or more decoded frames and an audio feed from a transmitting device. Additionally, the apparatus may determine whether the one or more artificial frames are suitable for a facial model call. The apparatus may also establish a facial model call based on a combination of the one or more artificial frames and the audio feed from the transmitting device.

When a first user makes a video call with a second user of the other side by using the video call function, a first state is set as a state in which the enclosure is flatly placed on a first surface of an object, and in which a face of the first user is included within a range of an angle of view AV1 of the front camera C1. In the first state, the mobile information terminal 1 detects a first region including the face of the first user from a wide angle image that is captured by the front camera C1, trims a first image corresponding to the first region, creates a transmission image to be transmitted to a terminal of the other side on the basis of the first image, and transmits the transmission image to the terminal of the other side.

Provided is a method of visually displaying a countdown time on a graphical user interface. A countdown time is set, the width and opacity of an area that changes as the set time is sequentially counted down are determined, and the area that changes based on the determined width and opacity is output on the graphical user interface.

Provided is an operation method for a terminal performing a call. A first terminal may receive a first like signal transmitted from a second terminal to a server, and may transmit, to the server, a second like signal regarding a second user of the second terminal. At this time, the first terminal may receive a signal for establishing a call connection between the first terminal and the second terminal, and may perform a call with the second terminal based on the signal.

Systems and methods are provided for video calling at a wrist-wearable device. The method includes receiving, at a wrist-wearable device that is coupled with one or more sensors, video data and audio data associated with a video call between a user of the wrist-wearable device and at least one other user distinct from the user. The method further includes while causing presentation of the video data via a display of the wrist-wearable device and the audio data via a speaker that is in communication with the wrist-wearable device, determining whether sensed data from the one or more sensors indicates that a video-viewing precondition is present at the wrist-wearable device. If the video-viewing precondition is not present at the wrist-wearable device, the method includes continuing to cause presentation of the audio data and ceasing to cause presentation of the video data at the wrist-wearable device.

Method for generating haptic and audio feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first and second user interfaces. Communication interface includes first area and second area. Processor detects first touch input on first user interface and second touch input on second user interface and determines location of first touch input being in first area and location of second touch input being in second area. Processor causes first and second user interfaces to generate first audio feedback response associated with first area and second audio feedback response associated with second area. In response to determining that location of first touch input is updated to second area while the location of the second touch input is in second area, processor causes first and second user interfaces to generate enhanced audio feedback response and enhanced haptic response feedback. Other embodiments are described herein.

A new real-time video communication device improves the clarity of shared screen by automatically adjusting the key frame's quantization parameter values. The adjustment depends on the underlying network's connection condition. When the connection bandwidth deteriorates, the key frame's quantization parameter value is further decreased on the value output from a standard H.264 encoder to derive a desirable quantization parameter value and thus achieve a desirable user experience of the shared screen. Moreover, the new real-time video communication device adjusts the frame rate of the shared screen based on the present quantization parameter value to achieve a more desirable user experience of the screen sharing.
