  • Publication number: 20080249657
    Abstract: A system and method for creating a customized greeting card for a recipient is disclosed. The system includes a computer readable memory, a map database that stores map data pertaining to a plurality of geographic locations. The locations include location-specific indicia. A first processor executable routine obtains map data pertaining to a selected geographic location from a database, and a second processor executable routine displays on a user interface the map data including location-specific indicia for the selected location. A third processor executable routine displays on the user interface an electronic greeting card depicting the selected location, and a fourth processor executable routine enables the user to change the location-specific indicia to a customized indicia to permit the customized indicia to be suitably displayed or presented to a user. The greeting card may be presented to the user electronically or may be printed on a suitable substrate.

  • Publication number: 20080068380
    Abstract: An electronic wall map design and printing system enables a user to select or specify the size, coverage area and detail level of a wall map and to customize the wall map based on the user's needs via a fully automated electronic interface. For ease of viewing during the creation of the wall map, the design and printing system displays the wall map being designed on the electronic user interface at a first detail level or resolution that is less than the level of detail or resolution used to print the wall map. However, the user may use the electronic interface to view portions of the wall map on the user interface at the same level of detail to be actually printed on the wall map to thereby enable the user to assure that the level of detail to be printed on the wall map is adequate for the user's purposes without making the wall map, as printed, hard to read. Once the user has designed the wall map by selecting the size, coverage area, and other customizable features such as titles, specialized icons, etc.
