  • Patent number: 11030808
    Abstract: An example method includes: obtaining an image of an object captured by a device during relative motion between the object and the device; determining a location of the device relative to the object during image capture based on one or more attributes of the object in the image; storing the image of the object and the location of the device during image capture; mapping a 3D graphical model representing the object to the object in the image based, at least in part, on the location of the device; receiving, at a time subsequent to capture of the image, first data representing an action to be performed for the object in the image; and generating second data for use in rending content on a display device, where the second data is based on the image stored, the location of the device stored, and at least some information from the model.

  • Publication number: 20200388080
    Abstract: An example method is performed by a computing system, and includes: obtaining an image of an object captured by a device during relative motion between the object and the device; determining a location of the device relative to the object during image capture based on one or more attributes of the object in the image; mapping a three-dimensional (3D) graphical model representing the object to the object in the image based, at least in part, on the location of the device, where the 3D graphical model includes information about the object; receiving a selection of a part of the object; and outputting, for rendering on a user interface, at least some information from the 3D graphical model based on the part selected.

  • Publication number: 20130325413
    Abstract: In modeling environments, a user typically interacts with a feature-based model by manipulating a feature of the model using a tool that is capable of achieving a number of different results with respect to the feature. An interface may be displayed that allows for manipulations to be made based on a result to be achieved, rather than by providing a generalized tool to achieve the result. Accordingly, the number of options that are presented on the interface may be reduced by eliminating extraneous options that are associated with the tool but not directly applicable to the desired result. A dynamic help system may be provided that provides targeted, dynamically-generated information relating to the result to be achieved. Furthermore, warnings may be displayed on the interface in real time during the model design process.

  • Patent number: 7130823
    Abstract: An automated trading system makes use of various components, such as one or more transaction servers and one or more rate servers and a number of terminals. A request for a proposed transaction for a user is entered at either a user's terminal or a sales trader's terminal and sent to a transaction server coupled to a rate server. If a first predefined condition for generating an executable rate quote is identified, an executable rate quote is generated by the rate server and sent back to the user's or sales trader's terminal for the user. Otherwise, if a second predefined condition for a category trader's rate quote is identified, a request for the category trader's rate quote is sent by the transaction server to one or more category trader's terminals, prompting entry of a category trader's rate quote by one or more of the category traders, which is likewise sent back to the user's or sales trader's terminal for the user.
