METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MORPHING A USER DURING A VIDEO CALL

摘要

A method and apparatus (100) for changing an appearance of a user during a video call is provided herein. Prior to making a call, a user identifies (301) several images that can be used as morphing templates and also identifies (303) a context where each template will be used. During a video call, a morphing template is then chosen (403) based on a context of the call (e.g., time, place, caller identification, etc.). During the video call, the user's image will be morphed (405) based on the chosen template. Because templates used for morphing will be easily changed based on a context of the call, the user will be provided with a simple technique to for morphing their image.
