  • Methods, systems and computer program products for coordinating patterns of interior design surface treatments for interior spaces
    Patent number: 6664972
    Abstract: A storyboard of interior design surface treatments for a commercial and/or residential interior space is generated by obtaining a plurality of arrays of patterns that correspond to user search criteria, from a stored set of patterns for interior design surface treatments. The arrays of patterns are displayed on a computer display. Each array of patterns corresponds to a surface treatment product type, such as floor treatments, upholstery, textiles (fabrics), wall treatments and solid surface materials or laminates (countertops). The product type also can include product subtypes, such as carpet, vinyl composition tile, resilient sheet flooring, porcelain tile and ceramic tile for floor treatments. A plurality of subarrays of patterns then are generated, each subarray corresponding to a surface treatment product type.
