Patent number: 11676347Abstract: A method for virtual try-on of user-wearable items is provided. The method includes capturing, in a client device, a first image of a user, the first image including a reference token for a user-wearable item and displaying, in the client device, images of multiple user-wearable items for the user, receiving an input from the user, the input indicative of a selected user-wearable item from the user-wearable items on display. The method also includes segmenting the first image to separate the reference token from a background comprising a portion of a physiognomy of the user, replacing a segment of the reference token in the first image with an image of the selected user-wearable item in a second image of the user, and displaying, in the client device, the second image of the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Warby Parker Inc.Inventors: David Goldberg, Andrew Garrison, Adam Greenberg, Paul Johnson, Paul Mackey

Patent number: 11663695Abstract: A display device to change an image displayed in a display area when the display area is changed includes a memory, a location output unit and a screen display unit. The memory stores size information of a display area displayed on a screen and the image data of the displayed image. The location computing unit computes a start point of the changed display area when the display area is changed. The display unit decodes data corresponding to the size of the display area based on the computed new start point from the image data to display the decoded data in the display area. Since the start point is obtained with center point of the changed display area and its size information and then a display area to be displayed is determined based on the start point, a current search location is maintained even when the screen is swung.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2022Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: PANTECH CORPORATIONInventors: Ho Yeon Chae, Chang Soo Ryu

Patent number: 11636656Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that create additional depth frames where a depth camera runs at a lower frame rate than a light intensity camera. Rather than upconverting the depth frames by simply repeating a previous depth camera frame, additional depth frames are created by adjusting some of the depth values of a prior frame based on the RGB camera data (e.g., by “dragging” depths from their positions in the prior depth frame to new positions for a new frame). Specifically, a contour image is generated, and changes in the contour image are used to determine how to adjust (e.g., drag) the depth values for the additional depth frames. The contour image may be based on a mask (e.g., occlusions masks identifying where the hand occludes the virtual cube).Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Daniele Casaburo, Adrian P. Lindberg
