Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for monitoring group location. In some example embodiments, there is provided a method which includes receiving, at a controller, a location of a group of trackers; determining, by the controller, whether to optimize a schedule for the group of trackers as the group of trackers traverses a venue, wherein the determining is based on at least the received location; and sending, by the controller, a message to update the schedule, when the determining indicates the optimization should be performed. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

Abstract: A template-based art creation system is used for the real-time creation of advertising art images, resulting in an automatically created, high resolution, pre-press ready art file for use in directly creating printing plates for commercial printing presses. The system includes a server module and client module. At the client module, a user creates and/or modifies a simulated advertising template, which includes a low-resolution background image for a particular type of advertisement (e.g., based on business type) and rendering data specifying where text and graphic elements are placed with respect to the background image. The user customizes the template by adding, positioning, and formatting text and graphic elements over the background image. Subsequently, information relating to the customized template is transmitted to the server module, which produces the pre-press ready art file.
