Abstract: A method for automatically laying out a page comprises defining a page body area for the page and a page internal grid for the page body area; positioning a plurality of sub-pages on the page body area according to the page internal grid; for each sub-page of the plurality of sub-pages defining a sub-page body area for the sub-page and a sub-page internal grid for the sub-page body area, wherein the sub-page internal grid defined for each sub-page and the page internal grid enable to layout the each sub-page independently of the page; and positioning at least one graphical element on the sub-page body area according to the sub-page internal grid.

Abstract: A computerized method for creating in a computer system a visual composition. One or more photographs are provided, including respectively images of products for presenting in the visual composition. The images are outlined producing outlines of the product images. Based on the outlines, an arrangement is selected from multiple previously defined arrangements. The arrangement becomes the selected arrangement for presenting the images in the visual composition. The images are positioned in the selected arrangement based on at least one previously defined rule. A set of metadata is preferably associated with each photograph and/or with each product; and the selection of the selected arrangement is performed based on the metadata and/or on extractable features. Scaling of the images is preferably based on the metadata or on extractable features. Features of the products in the images are preferably extracted based on the outline or from a database.

Abstract: A method for automatically translating data into different human languages and into different media formats. The method of the present invention uses a template for decomposing the data into at least one data element, predetermined according to a human language subject area. Each such subject area has a limited vocabulary and contains a limited number of concepts. The data is then entered, manipulated and stored according to the template. Since the structure of the data is predetermined according to subject area, the data is relatively easy to translate into different human languages according to such a limited vocabulary. The data is also relatively easy to translate into different media formats, such as facsimile transmission, e-mail and voice messages, for example. Thus, the method of the present invention easily and efficiently translates data into different human languages and into different media formats.
