US Patent 11451694 Mitigation of obstacles while capturing media content

A method comprises detecting blockage of a sensor on a primary device while capturing media content with the sensor on the primary device and, in response to the detected blockage of the sensor, communicating with at least one secondary device in an area of the primary device to activate a corresponding sensor on the at least one secondary device which causes the corresponding sensor to capture media content simultaneously with the blocked sensor on the primary device. The method further comprises modifying the media content captured by the blocked sensor on the primary device based on the media content captured by the corresponding sensor on the at least one secondary device to mitigate effects of the blockage of the sensor on the primary device.
