Andrea Zehr 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).

  • Patent number: 11403829
    Abstract: Users can view images or renderings of items placed (virtually) within a physical space. For example, a rendering of an item can be placed within a live camera view of the physical space. A snapshot of the physical space can be captured and the snapshot can be customized, shared, etc. The renderings can be represented as two-dimensional images, e.g., virtual stickers or three-dimensional models of the items. Users can have the ability to view different renderings, move those items around, and develop views of the physical space that may be desirable. The renderings can link to products offered through an electronic marketplace and those products can be consumed. Further, collaborative design is enabled through modeling the physical space and enabling users to view and move around the renderings in a virtual view of the physical space.

  • Patent number: 11232511
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide techniques for generating a virtual wardrobe in which wearing of items can be tracked through computer vision. In various embodiments, computer vision techniques can be used to identify individual clothing items from an image or video of a closet containing a collection of clothes, in which some of the items may be partially obscured, such as positioned behind other items, folded, at an odd viewing angle, shadowed, or the like. Through the present techniques, the clothing items may be automatically cataloged, and utilization of individual items can be tracked automatically based on additional image data of instances in which an item is worn. Various recommendations can then be made based on the attributes of the items in the virtual wardrobe or utilization of the items.

  • Patent number: 11127074
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide for recommending products from an electronic catalog that are aesthetically compatible with an existing item in a physical space based on a live camera view of the space, and rendering augmented reality views of the recommended products into the live camera view. Specifically, an image of the existing item is used to search a database of images of designed spaces that includes a corresponding object visually similar to the existing item. The image of the designed space may also include other items that are visually compatible with the corresponding object and therefore visually compatible with the existing item. Thus, the images of the other items are used to search an electronic catalog for available items that are visually similar to the other items and therefore would be visually compatible with the existing item.

  • Patent number: 11093748
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and method for visual search and augmented reality, in which an onscreen body of visual markers overlayed on the interface signals the current state of an image recognition process. Specifically, the body of visual markers may take on a plurality of behaviors, in which a particular behavior is indicative of a particular state. Thus, the user can tell what the current state of the scanning process is by the behavior of the body of visual markers. The behavior of the body of visual markers may also indicate to the user recommended actions that can be taken to improve the scanning condition or otherwise facilitate the process. In various embodiments, as the scanning process goes from one state to another state, the onscreen body of visual markers may move or seamlessly transition from one behavior to another behavior, accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11055759
    Abstract: A color selection image matching system can receive, from a computing device, image data captured by a camera in the user device, where the image data includes one or more colors. The computing device can extrapolate a subset of the colors and receive an indication of a target color to initiate a product search based on the target color. The subset of colors may be determined based on other image data, and selectable color elements may be generated for the subset of colors. In some embodiments, the system may generate a palette of colors visually similar to the target color. The target color and/or palette of colors can be cross-referenced with products colors, based on standardized or quantitative color descriptors, to determine relevant product search results matching the target color, which may be displayed on the user device.
