  • Method and apparatus for processing border of computer figure to be merged into background image
    Patent number: 9959637
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a method and a computer apparatus for processing a border of a computer figure and merging the figure into a background image. In the method, a user interface is provided for the user to operate the computer figure through a touch screen. The computer figure is configured to be merged into a background image, or a specific image object. The computer figure is processed by performing a border-treatment algorithm when it is moved and combined with the background image. In the process of border-treatment, the graphic information of the background image is taken into consideration. The computer figure is allowed to be well merged into the background image by considering the background's graphic information when the images are combined. Therefore, a visual effect of fusing the images can be achieved.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING COMPOSITED IMAGES
    Publication number: 20170139573
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a method and a system for processing composited images. The method is operated in a computer. A software-enabled user interface is provided for a user to create a composited image using a touch screen. In the beginning, in response to the user's manipulation, at least two images are retrieved from a database. A background image and a foreground image are selected from the images. The user interface allows the user using a gesture over the background image displayed on the touch screen for generating a series of touch signals covering a specific area. The touch signals render a mask image. The mask is applied to the foreground image. The mask image of the background image covers the foreground image so as to create a new foreground image. The composited image is created when the new foreground image is composited with the background image.

    Abstract: A color image patch for use with contact lens includes an attachment layer having one side for adsorbing to a surface of a contact lens, and an image layer connected to another side of the attachment layer and having an ornamental design provided thereon. Before wearing the contact lens, a wearer first selects a color image patch with favorite ornamental design and then attaches the attachment layer of the color image patch to the surface of the contact lens. The ornamental design on the image layer of the color image patch being adsorbed to the contact lens is located at a position corresponding to a wearer's iris and capable of changing the shape, size and color of the wearer's iris without influencing the vision correction function of the contact lens. Therefore, the color image patch gives the contact lens additional function and increased usefulness.

  • System and method for rate control in a network environment
    Patent number: 9118944
    Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving video data and gathering statistics associated with the video data. At least some of the video data is broken into slices, each of the slices representing a partition in a video frame within the video data. Each frame is encoded with one or more quality layers based on an outgoing rate and based on a number of central processing unit (CPU) cycles, wherein one or more quality layers of the frames are dropped in the encoding process. In more specific embodiments, the statistics relate to how many bits are used for encoding the quality layers of the video data and how much complexity is required for encoding the quality layers of the video data. After the statistics gathering, adjustments to a network rate are executed.
