Systems and Methods for Supporting a Video Call in a Dark or Low Light Environment
First Claim
1. A user device, comprising:
- a screen;
at least one camera adjacent to the screen;
a processor; and
a memory comprising computer-readable instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to;
detect a video call signal,receive a first measured ambient light level from at least one sensor,compare the first measured ambient light level with a threshold value,if the measured ambient light level is less than the threshold value, activate at least one light source to emit light at a first intensity level to illuminate a face of a user receiving the video call signal on the user device, andfacilitate a video call for the user based on the video call signal.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing illumination for a video call in a low-lighting environment. The light source may be a hardware component integrated on the front of a mobile device. The light source may be implemented as one or more lit spaces on the device'"'"'s screen. The intensity of the light from the light source may be based on ambient light levels measured by one or more sensors on the device. When the mobile device receives an incoming video call, the sensors may detect the level of ambient light and activate the light source to illuminate the face of the call recipient if he or she answers the incoming video call. The device may include an interface to allow the user to configure and adjust the intensity, coloring, and lighting pattern of the light during the video call.

11. A method, comprising:
-
detecting a video call signal at a user device; receiving a first measured ambient light level from at least one sensor associated with the user device; comparing the first measured ambient light level with a threshold value; if the measured ambient light level is less than the threshold value, activating at least one light source to emit light at a first intensity level to illuminate a face of a user receiving the video call signal on the user device; and facilitating a video call for the user based on the video call signal; - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
