  • Publication number: 20210334843
    Abstract: Provided herein are system, apparatus, device, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof for automatically embedding digital data in a message and capturing analytics for the digital data. In some embodiments, a server may retrieve information about a user. The server may execute a predictive analysis on the information about the user to identify digital data to be transmitted to the user. The digital data may include an embedded tag associated with an object. The server may automatically embed the identified digital data in a messaging prompt to be transmitted to the user. The server may identify the object associated with the embedded tag, using the embedded tag. The server may determine interaction data for the object and digital data and render the interaction data on a user interface.

  • Patent number: 10789052
    Abstract: A user interface (UI) design system mapping platform is provided that can receive and process a design document file and a library file to automatically generate a mapped specification that maps the design document file to the library file. The library file can be generated at a design system and includes design system components for development reuse and their definitions. The design system components can be assembled, via an external design tool, to build user interfaces, applications or layouts. The design document file can be imported from the design tool to the UI design system mapping platform. The design document file is generated based on selected ones of the design system components and includes various design artifacts including layout and assets that describe a user interface of an application.

  • Patent number: 7033023
    Abstract: A system and method for designing a progressive lens are provided. Mean power is specified at points distributed over the entire surface of the lens and lens height is specified around the edge of the lens. Lens height is determined at the points consistent with the specified mean power and the lens edge height in part by solving a partial differential equation of the elliptic type subject to the lens edge height as a boundary condition. A successive over-relaxation technique may be employed to converge on the solution to the partial differential equation, and an over-relaxation factor may be determined to most efficiently relax the equation.
