Manoj Nigam has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10535170
    Abstract: A method may include receiving a selection of a first variation of a consumer product from multiple consumer product variations. Each consumer product variation may include a first and a second surface, each including a depth attribute and a texture map with a sync point (first and second of each, respectively). The method may also include generating a single image of the consumer product as implemented in the first variation based on the first depth attribute and the second depth attribute, where each of the first surface and the second surface may include a texture map including a sync point. For the method, the first and the second sync points may be selected so that transitions between the first surface and the second surface in the single image depict a designated manufacturer matching scheme that matches a pattern feature from the first surface with the second surface.

  • Patent number: 10026208
    Abstract: This disclosure includes a method for electronically generating a single image for product visualization. The method comprises receiving a selection of a first variation of a first consumer product layer with a first depth attribute from a plurality of variations of the first consumer product layer, each variation comprising at least one surface. The method further includes receiving a selection of a second variation of a second consumer product layer with a second depth attribute from a plurality of variations of the second consumer product layer, each variation comprising at least one surface. The method also includes layering the first variation of the first consumer product layer in the single image based at least on the first depth attribute; and layering the second variation of the second consumer product layer in the single image based at least on the second depth attribute. Related systems and apparatuses are also disclosed.
