Patent number: 9641722Abstract: A method of creating a structural document may include determining a shape of a structural document, determining a plurality of dimensions of the structural document, receiving information associated with one or more content items, identifying one or more security features associated with the structural document and causing a graphical representation of the structural document to be displayed at a user computing device. A shape of the graphical representation may correspond to the determined shape, a plurality of dimensions of the graphical representation may be representative of the determined plurality of dimensions, and the graphical representation may include at least a portion of the received content items and at least a portion of the identified security features. The method may include receiving an indication that a user is finished creating the structural document, generating a print document including an encoded data mark, and providing the print document to print-related devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2012Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: William J. Hannaway, William J. Nowak, Cynthia J. Ryan, Stephen C. Morgana, James Milo Sweet, Reiner Eschbach

Patent number: 9245209Abstract: A method of defining a three-dimensional structure having multiple facets, such as a package, identifies an image that is to be printed on a first facet. It also identifies a second facet of the package that has a functional relationship with the first facet, determines whether the functional relationship is that of a crease, an edge, or another functional relationship, and automatically defines a bleed area by accessing a rule set and applying the rule set to the determined functional relationship. The bleed area includes an area in which the first image will be printed and that is outside of the location of the first facet.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2012Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Reiner Eschbach, James Milo Sweet

Patent number: 8797605Abstract: A method of creating a structural document may include receiving, by a host computing device in a cloud system, content information pertaining to one or more contents of a structural document that may be configured to encase the contents, determining a shape of a structural document based at least in part on the received content information, determining a plurality of dimensions of the structural document based at least in part on the received content information, receiving content item information associated with one or more content items, and causing a graphical representation of the structural document to be displayed at the user computing device. The method may include receiving an indication that a user is finished creating the structural document, generating a print document including an encoded data mark, and providing the print document to one or more print-related devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2012Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: William J. Hannaway, William J. Nowak, Cynthia J. Ryan, Stephen C. Morgana, James Milo Sweet, Reiner Eschbach

Patent number: 8792142Abstract: A method may include determining a shape of a structural document, determining a plurality of dimensions of the structural document, receiving information associated with one or more content items, receiving contact information to include on the structural document, receiving an indication of a location on the structural document where the contact information is to be displayed, and causing a graphical representation of the structural document to be displayed at a computing device. A shape and dimensions of the graphical representation may correspond to the determined shape and dimensions, the contact information may be displayed on the graphical representation at the location, and the graphical representation may include at least a portion of the received content items. The method may include receiving an indication that a user is finished creating the structural document, generating a print document including an encoded data mark, and providing the print document to print-related devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2012Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: William J.
