[Category : - SOFTWARES]
[Viewed 1055 times]

A method for automatically terminating a video-chat session, upon determining that more than a user's face is being exposed to a camera of the electronic device during the video-chat session.

The present disclosure relates generally to social networking, and more particularly, to a method and mobile electronic device configured to prevent obscene gestures from being captured thereby during a videoconference/video-chat session.

The proliferation of social media applications on mobile electronic devices has made it easier than ever for individuals to engage in videoconferencing/video-chat sessions from anywhere and at any time. Unfortunately, there exists a potential for a participant to engage in potentially lewd and lascivious behavior during the video-chat that the other participant finds offensive.

It would therefore be desirable to provide a mechanism by which a video-chat session can be automatically terminated if a participant attempts to engage in lewd behavior.

Financial information

The patented method has been analyzed by market analysts as providing a significant market advantage to either a start up company or established social networking, dating and video conference companies integrating the method into software applications already on the market.

The patented method has also been determined to be especially popular in dating apps and in the Middle East market.
