  • Publication number: 20240103998
    Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for variant testing at scale. In particular, the embodiments set forth provide systems and methods for testing, on a large-scale software application store, visual aspects of one or more variants of representative data associated with an application available through the software application store. According to some embodiments, a method may include using a subset of conversion data associated with a control object and a subset of the conversion data associated with at least one variant object to compute at least one conversion metric for the control object and at least one conversion metric for the at least one variant object. The method may also include generating a performance measurement by applying at least one statistical hypothesis testing function to the at least one conversion metric for the control object and the at least one conversion metric for the at least one variant object.

  • Patent number: 11436453
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using augmented reality to create a printing template. The method includes capturing, using a camera of a mobile electronic device, a real world image of a surface. The method further includes, by a processor, receiving the real world image, processing the real world image to isolate and measure a portion of the surface on which print job content is to be applied, creating a printing template conforming to a shape and area of the isolated and measured portion of the surface, causing the real world image to be output on a display, and causing the display to output the printing template over the real world image, overlaid over the isolated and measured portion of the surface.

  • Patent number: 11223732
    Abstract: An app maintains different multi-modal output signatures. Each multi-modal output signature contains instructions for transducer output with speaker output and/or display output. Also, each multi-modal output signature is unique and different from all other multi-modal output signatures. Further, each different multi-modal output signature corresponds to only one of many possible alerts that may be generated by a printer. The app is adapted to control the printer user interface system and/or a portable device user interface system, to output these multi-modal output signatures in coordination.

  • Patent number: 10379726
    Abstract: Moving a selected thumbnail image parallel to a linear strip of unselected thumbnail images within a preview electronic display, increases spacing between two of the adjacent thumbnail images, when the selected thumbnail image is positioned proximate them. In turn, spacing between other adjacent ones of the unselected thumbnail images returns to the original spacing, when the selected thumbnail image is not positioned proximate them. Methods and systems return the unselected thumbnail images to the original size in response to releasing the selected thumbnail image between two adjacent thumbnail images, within the movable thumbnail electronic display image, and this changes the linear strip of original size thumbnail images of the document pages from an original page order to a different order having the selected thumbnail image in a different location within the linear strip.

  • Patent number: 10073664
    Abstract: A system for providing print device dynamic status indicator feedback includes a print device, and a status indicator feedback unit. The print device includes a print engine and one or more status monitors. The status indicator feedback unit includes a display device, a light emitting module, a processor in communication with the light emitting module, and a computer-readable medium containing programming instructions. The system may receive information corresponding to one or more current machine states of the print device from the one or more status monitors of the print device, determine a priority level associated with each of the one or more current machine states, identify a machine state associated with a highest priority level, identify a dynamic feedback pattern associated with the identified machine state. The dynamic feedback pattern includes a visual pattern. The system may and instruct the light emitting module to emit the visual pattern.

  • Patent number: 9917957
    Abstract: A cropping electronic display image is provided in response to selection of an image crop menu option. The cropping electronic display image includes a geometric shape superimposed on the input image. Operation of the user input component changing position of at least one side of the geometric shape within the cropping electronic display image is detected to identify a selected cropped image area. Portions of the input image outside the selected cropped image area are removed to produce a cropped image, in response to completing the process of changing position of at least one side of the geometric shape. The cropped image and the cropped image area are enlarged to fit within the cropping electronic display image.
