The US patent 10,939,070 B1, granted on March 2, 2021, describes systems and methods for generating video images in a centered view mode. The system includes a display, multiple cameras, a memory, and one or more processors that execute instructions to perform actions. The actions include receiving images of a user from the cameras, generating video images with the user's eyes or face centered, and transmitting the video images.

The patent application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/912,011, filed on June 25, 2020. The invention relates to systems and methods for video communication, specifically using multiple cameras to generate video images with the eyes or face of the subject centered.

The system uses images from at least two cameras to generate video images in centered view mode, where the eyes or face of the user are centered in the video images, regardless of their position in the images from the individual cameras. The system can composite, stitch, or create a model using the images from the cameras to generate the video images.

The patent also describes methods for maintaining the video images when the user's eyes are outside the field of view of the cameras, including maintaining the latest video image or switching to a standard view mode. The system can also blur or replace the background behind the user to generate the video images.

The invention aims to address the issue of distracting video conferences when the camera isn't aligned with the eyes of the individual, providing a more natural and engaging video communication experience.
