Patents by Inventor Paul Shelman

Paul Shelman has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230245361
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing graphic design using metadata relationships are described. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may display a visual design including a set of design elements, each of which may be contained within a corresponding container. The electronic device may receive a selection to spatially adjust a design element, and may determine a modification to the design element based an element behavior of the design element and/or a container behavior of the corresponding container. The electronic device may display, in the user interface, the design element reflecting the modification.

  • Patent number: 11380031
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating product design by an electronic device are described. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may present a design having a set of design elements, and may detect a modification to one or more of the set of design elements. The electronic device may determine, based on a set of characteristics, how remaining design elements can be modified based on the detected modification. The electronic device may determine and present a modified design according to the modified design elements, for review by a user of the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11138647
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing variations of a graphic design within a framework are described. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may access a desired specification for a design of a product, where the desired specification may indicate at least one desired physical property for the product. The electronic device may automatically identify a variation from a plurality of variations that matches the desired specification, and may display the identified variation for review or editing.
