Patent attributes
A computer-implemented method is performed by a communications device having a processor operatively coupled to a memory and a data transceiver for transmitting and receiving video data of a video call between a user of the device and one or more other parties to the call. The method entails receiving and displaying video images of the one or more other parties within a main video window on a display of the device, identifying one or more faces in the video images, determining a minimally obscuring position for a picture-in-picture (PIP) window that minimally obscures the one or more faces of the other parties, capturing video of the user with a camera on the device, and displaying a PIP window from the video of the user in the minimally obscuring position within the main video window.
