  • Patent number: 11010976
    Abstract: An approach for simulating items in an environment, such as a room, is disclosed. A package file can store information including an image of the environment and metadata including an identifier that uniquely identifies a selected image. The package file can be used to regenerate a simulation of the item arranged over the image of the environment. Later changes can be made to the simulation of the item by accessing the metadata.

  • Patent number: 10664892
    Abstract: A platform allows experts, for example home improvement professionals, to upload their portfolios, i.e. content such as photos, videos, text, and sound, to a publicly available resource, such as a Web browser accessible, network based commerce system. Users may then browse the content, for example by room, style, and metro area. The content is arranged in collections that are in part passively sorted, based upon user relevance. Tags are shown on objects, for example within photos, for which there is more information. In the case of a movable display device, the tags can simulate the physics of real tags, for example they can move back and forth when the device is shaken. In another embodiment, a snap point is set to impart either a scrolling transition or a step transition between display pages, based upon user scroll activity.

  • Patent number: 10636214
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for simulating one or more virtual objects (e.g., renders) on real-world walls of a room. Some embodiments detect a floor of the room, detect lack of movement of a device, determine an angle of the client device, and place a virtual object in a virtual environment. As the device is moved, a virtual camera can be continuously updated to correspond to movement of the device.

    Abstract: A platform allows experts, for example home improvement professionals, to upload their portfolios, i.e. content such as photos, videos, text, and sound, to a publicly available resource, such as a Web browser accessible, network based commerce system. Users may then browse the content, for example by room, style, and metro area. The content is arranged in collections that are in part passively sorted, based upon user relevance. Tags are shown on objects, for example within photos, for which there is more information. In the case of a movable display device, the tags can simulate the physics of real tags, for example they can move back and forth when the device is shaken. In another embodiment, a snap point is set to impart either a scrolling transition or a step transition between display pages, based upon user scroll activity.

  • Patent number: 8693529
    Abstract: Execution of a block test “retry” in a test environment with each block in the test sequence sent after the tester has determined that the previous block of data packets has met one or more prescribed test criterion. If a block sent by the DUT has not met the test criterion, a retry sequence is initiated to re-test the block. In another embodiment, a block test “retry” is executed where each block in the test sequence is sent and analysis of previously sent blocks is done in parallel with the sending of a subsequent block. If a previous block has not met the test criterion, a retry sequence is initiated whereby the tester and DUT step back to the block that failed to meet the test criterion and retry that block. If the retry meets test criterion, testing continues by resuming with the next untested block in the sequence.
