  • Patent number: 9632732
    Abstract: A system includes a product descriptor module and a display module. The product descriptor module provides access to a three-dimensional geometric model for a print product, receives dimensional information regarding the print product, and calibrates the three-dimensional model of the print product based on the dimensional information. The display module displays a three-dimensional graphical representation of the print product based on at least the calibrated three-dimensional model.

  • Patent number: 9449119
    Abstract: A method comprises receiving a change request input from a user to change one or more parameters of a product in a product visualization; determining at least one available option based on the change request input and manufacturable capabilities; and presenting a modified product visualization to the user based on at least one determined available option.

  • Patent number: 9049405
    Abstract: A soft proof system includes a display module and a manager. The display module displays a visual representation of a print product, and a color array expressing a tolerance range of a color component of the visual representation and a target color within the range. Via the manager, a visualization function produces the visual representation and the color array according to a soft proof array. A tolerance selection function, associated with the display module, enables selection of the tolerance range for at least a portion of the print product, wherein the selection is expressed on the display in the visual representation and in the color array.

  • Patent number: 8937750
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present invention may divide data into a first of set of blocks and a second set of blocks, and data may be stored from non-overlapping frames surrounding the first set of blocks in memory. The data may be grouped from the non-overlapping frames surrounding the second set of blocks, and the data may be absorbed from the non-overlapping frames surrounding the first set of blocks into the second set of blocks. The data may be processed the first set of blocks and the second set of blocks in parallel.

  • Patent number: 8493403
    Abstract: Color transformation sample point identification is described. A subset of points from a superset of points representing a colorimetric relationship is identified. The subset of points defines an initial n-simplex with (n+1) points representing an approximation of the colorimetric relationship, where n represents a number of dimensions. An additional point from the superset of points is selected and added to the subset of points to replace the n-simplex with a set of at least two n-simplices. The additional point is selected such that a volume of an (n+1)-simplex formed by the (n+1) points of the initial n-simplex and the additional point is increased. An error value for the approximation is determined by calculating an error volume between the (n+1)-simplex and the superset of points.

  • Patent number: 8200782
    Abstract: An embodiment of a synchronizer for a mobile device comprises memory for containing identification data and message data. The synchronizer is operative at least part of the time when the mobile device is inactive to establish communication with a base station, to provide from memory identification data enabling the base station to establish communication between the synchronizer and a server and, where message data is waiting to be transferred between the server and the mobile device, to enable transfer of message data waiting to be transferred. The synchronizer is operative when the mobile device is active to transfer message data between the mobile device and the memory of the synchronizer.

  • Publication number: 20100070593
    Abstract: In a computerized method of visualizing features of messages communicated between a first user and a plurality of other users, a topic is identified and a visualization based upon messages containing at least one of the topic and a resource related to the topic is created. More particularly, the visualization is created to include at least one of user graphical representations and message graphical representations, and a resource graphical representation, such that, a user may easily identify features of the messages.

  • Patent number: 7292187
    Abstract: A position for a beacon in a location system is determined based on distances measured from positions in a local coordinate system for the location system and from intersection points of circles. The circles each have a center point of one of the positions in the local coordinate system and a radius of one of the measured distances.
