Publication number: 20230237708Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for semantically organizing a graphic design document. A method of semantically organizing a graphic design document can include obtaining a document, identifying a plurality of layers associated with the document, determining a plurality of semantic labels associated with the plurality of layers, determining a semantic layer hierarchy of the plurality of layers, and organizing the plurality of layers based at least on the semantic layer hierarchy.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Gregory Cy MUSCOLINO, Christian CANTRELL, Archie Samuel BAGNALL, Christopher James GAMMON, Patrick James HEBRON

Publication number: 20230237719Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for performing content linting in a graphic design system. A method of content linting includes receiving a selection of a content type to be generated, receiving a selection of a location in a digital canvas to place content of the content type, determining a placement context associated with the location in the digital canvas, identifying one or more content rules to the content based on a static analysis of the placement context, and generating, using one or more machine learning models, content of the selected content type at the location in the digital canvas using the one or more content rules.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Gregory Cy MUSCOLINO, Christian CANTRELL, Archie Samuel BAGNALL, Christopher James GAMMON, Patrick James HEBRON

Publication number: 20230237717Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for creating and managing semantic layers in a graphic design system. A method of creating and managing semantic layers includes receiving a selection of a content type to be generated, receiving a selection of a location in a digital canvas to place content of the content type, generating, using one or more machine learning models, content of the selected content type at the location in the digital canvas, and automatically adding the content to a layer associated with the digital canvas based on a semantic label associated with the content.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Gregory Cy MUSCOLINO, Christian CANTRELL, Archie Samuel BAGNALL, Christopher James GAMMON, Patrick James HEBRON

Patent number: 10331333Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to a touch digital ruler. As such, a particular drawing stroke on a canvas or background can be drawn in alignment with a template irrespective of whether a touch path input by a user aligns with the template. In some implementations, a drawing stroke is aligned with a template edge when the touch digital ruler has been activated despite the location of a user's motion on a touchscreen display.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2014Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey Charles Dowd, Arian Behzadi, Gregory Cy Muscolino

Patent number: 10146407Abstract: An input device, such as a multifunction straight edge or a keyboard, has a recognizable contact shape when placed on a touchscreen display surface of a computing device. The contact shape of the input device can be a defined pattern of contact points, and a location and orientation of the input device on the touchscreen display surface is determinable from the defined pattern of the contact points. The input device includes an interaction module that interfaces with a companion module of the computing device. The companion module can initiate a display of an object responsive to the input device being recognized on the touchscreen display surface. The interaction module can receive a user input to the input device, and communicate the user input to the companion module of the computing device to modify the display of the object on the touchscreen display surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2013Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Remon Tijssen, Timothy W. Kukulski, Michael W. Gough, Geoffrey Charles Dowd, Gregory Cy Muscolino

Patent number: 9477403Abstract: A touchscreen device may be configured to facilitate drawing lines, circles, and shapes through use of a guide device placed on the touchscreen. The touchscreen device may detect the position and orientation of the guide device, for example, by determining an axis of the guide device based on a set of locations at which the guide device triggered contact signals on the touchscreen. Based on the detected position and orientation of the guide device on its touchscreen, the touchscreen device may display one or more lines or shapes on the touchscreen. If a user traces a portion of such a displayed line or shape, the touchscreen device may display the traced portion. A button on the guide device may be configured to cause the touchscreen device to sequentially display available lines and shapes. The user may also configure the button to display one or more user-generated shapes.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2013Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: ADOBE SYSTEMS INCORPORATEDInventors: Geoffrey Dowd, David Gideon Macy, Arian Behzadi, Gregory Cy Muscolino

Patent number: 9372563Abstract: A touchscreen device is configured to facilitate editing on a touchscreen. The touchscreen device determines a position of a guide device on the touchscreen and determines an axis of the guide device on the touchscreen. The touchscreen device displays a first line on the touchscreen parallel to the axis of the guide device, while the touchscreen displays a second line on the touchscreen. The touchscreen device detects movement of the guide device on the touchscreen and moves the first line on the touchscreen based on the detected movement. The touchscreen device moves the first line to coincide with the second line in response to a determination that the first line is within the threshold distance of the second line. The touchscreen device then indicates that the second line is selected for potential editing.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2014Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Arian Behzadi, Gregory Cy Muscolino

Publication number: 20150242000Abstract: An accessory device for providing input a touchscreen interface comprises a touchscreen ruler that provides uniquely identifiable and orientation-sensitive touch input to a touchscreen. The ruler can comprise a plurality of charge-conductive touchpoint elements mounted on a non-conductive frame such that the touchpoint elements are closely spaced from a support surface that engages the touchscreen in use. The touchpoint elements are conductively coupled to a touch receptor exposed to user touch during operation, causing indirect exposure of the touchpoint elements to the user's body capacitance. One of the touchpoint elements may be coupled to a user-operable switch mechanism to allow selective activation of the coupled touchpoint element.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2014Publication date: August 27, 2015Inventors: Geoffrey Dowd, Gregory Cy Muscolino, Timothy Ryan Van Ruitenbeek
