20110282733 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO CONTROL ON-DEMAND MARKETING CAMPAIGNS AND PERSONALIZED TRAJECTORIES IN HYPER-LOCAL DOMAINS - A method of providing targeted communications within a hyper-local domain from a first user to a second user, the method including receiving a communication from a first device, the first communication related to the hyper-local domain, receiving an input from a second device, comparing the input to the communication, and transmitting the communication to the second device, a third device, or combinations thereof, based on the comparing of the input to the communication. | 11-17-2011 |
20120273562 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING MACHINE READABLE CODES TO STORE AND RETRIEVE REVERSIBLE WRITE ERASEABLE PAPER DOCUMENTS - An embodiment generally relates to systems and methods for electronically auto-filing and retrieving erasable paper document documents configured for ultraviolet (UV) imaging. A device can embed a machine readable code on an erasable paper document, or can detect a machine readable code preprinted on the document. An electronic version of the erasable paper document along with the machine readable code can be stored in a database. When the machine readable code is later detected on a rendered document, the electronic version corresponding to the machine readable code can be retrieved from storage. The erasable paper document can be re-rendered using the retrieved electronic version either as a new erasable paper document, for display to the user, or other renderings. | 11-01-2012 |
20120274969 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ELECTRONICALLY AUTO-FILING AND RETRIEVING REVERSIBLE WRITE ERASEABLE PAPER DOCUMENTS - An embodiment generally relates to systems and methods for electronically auto-filing and retrieving erasable paper document documents configured for ultraviolet (UV) imaging. A device can automatically generate an electronic version of the erasable paper document and store the electronic version in a database. A user can search the database for the electronic version with identification information associated with the erasable paper document, upon which the systems and methods can retrieve the electronic version of the erasable paper document for the user. The electronic version of the erasable paper document can be re-rendered either as a new erasable paper document, for display to the user, or other renderings. | 11-01-2012 |
20130335445 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REALISTIC RENDERING OF DIGITAL OBJECTS IN AUGMENTED REALITY - A system and method of rendering in real time a virtual object onto a viewfinder display, the method comprising determining one or more scene properties of a scene on a viewfinder display of a device, receiving a virtual object for insertion into the scene, determining a location for placing the virtual object within the scene, determining a first appearance of the virtual object based on the one or more scene properties, and inserting the virtual object with the first appearance into the scene depicted on the viewfinder display of the device based on the location. | 12-19-2013 |
20140043363 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMAGE OR VIDEO PERSONALIZATION WITH SELECTABLE EFFECTS - Embodiments relate to systems and methods for image or video personalization with selectable effects. Image data, which can include video sequences or digital still images, can be received in a graphical personalization tool to perform various image processing and related operations to insert personalized objects into the image data. In aspects, the personalized object(s) can be or include graphical inputs such as, for instance, textual information, graphical information, and/or other visual objects. The graphical personalization tool can automatically perform one or more processing stages in the image path, such as identifying key regions in a still image and/or key frames in a video sequence, in which personalized objects will be generated and inserted. Personalized objects can be extended to additional regions of a still image, can be animated across multiple still images, and/or can be extended to additional frames of a video sequence, all on an automated or user-assisted basis. | 02-13-2014 |
20140137773 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING AUTOMATED WORKSTATION ELEVATION POSITION TRACKING AND CONTROL - A system and method are provided for implementing an automated workstation elevation position tracking and control scheme. Software running on the user's computer generates reminders and/or to forces an individual to periodically readjust the height of the workstation in a manner that promotes standing while at work. A current position, and an elapsed time that the workstation has been at the current position, is detected with an objective of providing pre-programmed routine or random automated reminders to a user to change the current position of the workstation from one elevation state to the other. The software tracks the percent of time that a user is standing and optionally compares this with a pre-defined goal. Automatic control via the user workstation, of workstation elevator actuators is provided in a manner that makes it easier, or otherwise unavoidable, for the user to initiate repositioning from a sitting to a standing position. | 05-22-2014 |
20150054975 | AUTOMATIC MOBILE PHOTO CAPTURE USING VIDEO ANALYSIS - A system creates an electronic file corresponding to a printed artifact by launching a video capture module that causes an imaging sensor of a mobile electronic device to capture a video of a scene that includes the printed artifact. The system analyzes image frames in the video in real time as the video is captured to identify a suitable instance. The suitable instance is a frame or sequence of frames that contains at least a portion of the printed artifact and that also satisfies one or more image quality criteria or other criteria. Upon identification of each suitable instance, the system will automatically cause a photo capture module of the device to capture a still image of the printed artifact. The still image has a resolution that is higher than that of the image frames in the video. The system will save the captured still images to a computer-readable file. | 02-26-2015 |
20150077788 | VALUE WEIGHTED PRINT AND RENDERING CONTROL METHODS, SYSTEMS AND PROCESSOR-READABLE MEDIA - Methods and systems for managing the rendering of documents in a rendering queue. In general, a set of criteria can be established for ranking a group of rendering jobs in a rendering queue. One or more jobs among the group of rendering jobs can be identified, which potentially constitutes a low value document. An alert can then be generated indicating that one or more of such jobs is potentially a low value document. Thereafter, a particular action can be instituted with respect to the identified job(s) if it is confirmed based on the alert that the identified job(s) is a low value document. Such a particular action can involve, for example, rendering (e.g., printing) the idenfitied job(s), modifying the idenfied job(s), preventing rendering of the identified job(s), etc. | 03-19-2015 |
