Abstract: A system and method is provided for creating editable configurations of 3D models and for using a specific type of 2D vector, namely a straight line, to compute and display real world measurements on the 3D model. A 3D model with UV map is created corresponding to a manufacturing pattern and to scale by a Scale Factor. A 2D vector created and overlaid on the UV map of a 3D model, is used to create several virtual mesh groups outlined by the 2D vector, on the underlying 3D model. Two points on a 3D model is selected to create a 2D Vector comprising the points on the UV map corresponding to the selected points on the 3D model. The Path Length of created 2D Vector and the Real Length as Path Length*Scale Factor, are calculated.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for creating editable configurations of 3D models. A 2D vector outlining a plurality of geometries is created and overlaid on the UV map of a 3D model. The 2D vector is used to create a plurality of virtual mesh groups outlined by the 2D vector, on the underlying mesh group of the 3D model. At least one mesh is selected from the plurality of virtual mesh groups for editing, thereby creating a plurality of editable configurations of the 3D model. The virtual mesh group is edited by applying any one of coloring, imaging, and texturing operations. The editing a virtual mesh group for applying a color transformation is replaced by applying the color transformation to the 2D vector and rasterizing the 2D vector into an image and applying the image as a texture on the UV map.

Abstract: A system and method for determining a clothing size of a user using visually annotation, without the need for exact measurements methods, is provided. The system includes a parameterization module for selecting a reference model and base pattern a visual annotation module configured to receive a plurality of customizations for the clothing size as a plurality of points, a custom-size determination module configured to compute ratios of change of points relative to the reference model and applying the said ratios as transformations to the respective points of the base pattern to create a new graded, custom fit pattern.

Abstract: This invention outlines a novel method for capturing the “state” of an intended design on an apparel pattern, and subsequently transforming that “state” to a new style or size and then applying that modified “state” to automatically recreate the original design, but for the new style or size. This invention captures the “state” of a design as a mathematical function, rather than the design itself and then applies a series of transformations to that “state” to map it to a new style. The system and method enables designers to seamlessly extrapolate designs across apparels and accessories of various sizes and styles. The automated system and method obviates the need for creating individual designs for each style or size, while ensuring that the transformed designs retain their visual characteristics even upon extrapolation.

Abstract: A method for modifying the dimensions of a design pattern embedded on a garment is disclosed. Original dimensions of the apparel and new dimensions according to which the apparel is to be modified are determined. A coordinate pair indicating the center point of the design pattern is determined. Two delta factors, one corresponding to height and the other corresponding to the width are determined. The delta factors indicate the difference, in terms of height and width respectively, between the original dimensions of the garment, and the dimensions to which the garment is purported to be modified. Subsequently, one of the delta factors is selected depending upon the nature of modification, and provided as an input to an affine transformation operation, along with the coordinate pair. The dimensions of the design pattern are modified based on the affine transformation operation and the selected delta factor and coordinate pair.

Abstract: This invention is a method for automating the generation of manufacturing patterns for apparel and accessories directly from designs created on a 3-dimensional (3D) model. This differs from existing models in which users design “2D slices” of a 3D image created at various pre-defined angles. This invention includes the steps of: 1) Making the UV map of the 3D model exactly match the manufacturing pattern in shape and scale; 2) Positioning the various components in the UV map to facilitate the desired image or text flow; and 3) Using a UV unwrap method to produce the manufacturing patterns with the exact art and text on each component. Images and text are thereby allowed to span across seams and be accurately manufactured. Automation of this process ensures that the images and text on the manufacturing patterns are the exact same as that which the user designed.

Abstract: This invention solves the problem of porting a custom design to different sizes of apparel, or between different types of products without losing the key shape or form of the design. Using existing methods, a direct scaling of the design or image between sizes or product types is not possible because the apparel sizes vary widely between sizes and vary more horizontally than vertically. In such cases, the design loses aspect ratio and the image is distorted or partly cut off on the end manufactured product. That makes it necessary to design individually for each size or type of product. This invention describes a computer implemented method that solves the problem of automating the extrapolation of designs from one size to another and from one product type to another, without losing the visual essence of the original design.

Abstract: Internet Security is increasingly of concern as more and more cases of identity theft of online data is reported. Simple login and password authentication for access to sensitive websites like financial, health or other personal data is no longer sufficient. Several mechanisms for additional security, called two-factor authentication have been proposed. Most of them involve the use of a physical device like a card which is read by a card reader or suggest the use of biometric authentication. Although, these are very secure, the cost of implementation of these “physical” authentications is high. This invention outlines the use of a simple two factor authentication using mobile phones, PDAs or Credit and Debit cards that most users already have, without the need for any special hardware.

Abstract: E-currency ID provides a highly secure, single-usage ‘virtual card’ that can be used for purchase on the Internet, while maintaining user privacy, security and control. Anytime the user needs to use a credit card on the Internet, they can use a unique e-currency ID instead. No actual card information is transmitted to the vendor and the e-currency ID cannot be reused, thus providing security against misuse of information even if the vendor's security system is breached. The user can optionally setup for notification and confirmation, wherein all request from vendors for payment authorization are sent to the user (notification) and are only authorized after user approval (confirmation). The invention also provides capability for setting up recurring payments using e-currency Ids.
