  • Patent number: 11968271
    Abstract: Systems and methods for sender profile and/or recipient profile disambiguation and/or confirmation are disclosed. In instances where a sender profile is not indicated by a user sending a communication from a communal device, heuristic data may be utilized to infer the sender profile. Similar heuristic data may also be used when selection of the sender profile is associated with a low confidence level. Heuristic data may also be used to infer the recipient profile when the user does not indicate the recipient profile or when selection of the recipient profile is associated with a low confidence. Various confirmations may result from the sender and recipient profile disambiguation.

  • Patent number: 10820649
    Abstract: The incorporation of digitally-printed assembly instructions and notations into textile product assembly processes is described. In one embodiment, an order to purchase a textile product having a number of panels is received. The panels are arranged and placed into a template for printing on a textile printer. Seams among the panels are identified and, with reference to the seams, assembly tasks are compiled to assemble the textile product. The assembly tasks are ordered according to at least one assembly factor directed to efficiency, quality, or other factors. The assembly tasks are associated with a set of assembly notations according to an assembly notation syntax. The assembly notations are incorporated into the template for printing, and the textile printer is instructed to print the panels along with the assembly notations. Sewing workers can refer to the assembly notations to determine how the textile product should be assembled using the panels.

  • Patent number: 10814516
    Abstract: Aspects of on demand apparel manufacturing are described. A system of on demand apparel manufacturing includes a textile cutter and a computing device. The computing device is configured to perform a process including capturing an image of a textile sheet on the textile cutter, where the textile sheet includes a panel for a product. The process further includes identifying cut control factors using the image of the textile sheet, to account for a textile thread, weave, nap, or knit pattern of the textile sheet, a textile print pattern alignment on the textile sheet, or panel deformation of the textile sheet on the textile cutter. The process also includes generating cut control instructions to cut the textile sheet based in part on the image and the cut control factors, and instructing the textile cutter to cut the panel out from the textile sheet based in part on the cut control instructions.

  • Patent number: 10286605
    Abstract: A three-dimensional item may be produced by a three-dimensional manufacturing apparatus to include a unique identifier. A set of three-dimensional manufacturing instructions may be generated, based at least in part on a three-dimensional model that represents the three-dimensional item and the unique identifier. The set of three-dimensional manufacturing instructions may be provided to the three-dimensional manufacturing apparatus to produce the three-dimensional item and the unique identifier.

  • Patent number: 10276149
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for dynamically outputting TTS content are disclosed. A speech-controlled device captures a spoken command, and sends audio data corresponding thereto to a server(s). The server(s) determines output content responsive to the spoken command. The server(s) may also determine a user that spoke the command and determine an average speech characteristic (e.g., tone, pitch, speed, number of words, etc.) used by the user when speaking commands. The server(s) may also determine a speech characteristic of the presently spoken command, as well as determine a difference between the speech characteristic of the presently spoken command and the average speech characteristic of the user. The server(s) may then cause the speech-controlled device to output audio based on the difference.

  • Patent number: 9623578
    Abstract: Aspects of on demand apparel manufacturing are described. A system of on demand apparel manufacturing includes a textile printer, textile cutter, and a computing device. The computing device is configured to perform a process including aggregating orders for products, organizing the orders according to a productivity factor, and arranging panels for products in the orders into an aggregated textile panel template. Arranging the panels can include aligning the panels among each other to reduce scrap in a textile sheet or orienting the panels with a thread, weave, nap, or knit pattern in the textile sheet, for example. The process can further include instructing the textile printer to print a plurality of panels for the products on the textile sheet based on the aggregated textile panel template, and instructing the textile cutter to cut the plurality of panels out from the textile sheet.
