Patent number: 10129520Abstract: A method and apparatus of displaying a magnified image comprising obtaining an image of a scene using a camera with greater resolution than the display, and capturing the image in the native resolution of the display by either grouping pixels together, or by capturing a smaller region of interest whose pixel resolution matches that of the display. The invention also relates to a method whereby the location of the captured region of interest may be determined by external inputs such as the location of a person's gaze in the displayed unmagnified image, or coordinates from a computer mouse. The invention further relates to a method whereby a modified image can be superimposed on an unmodified image, in order to maintain the peripheral information or context from which the modified region of interest has been captured.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: eSight Corp.Inventors: ReJean J.

Publication number: 20170011318Abstract: A contractor recommendation system includes one or more databases storing contractor attributes for a plurality of contractors and attribute weights indicating a relative importance of each of the contractor attributes. The system uses the contractor attributes and the attribute weights to select one or more recommended contractors for a building owner and generates a contractor recommendation comprising an indication of the one or more recommended contractors. The system provides the contractor recommendation to the building owner and receives a contractor selection from the building owner. The system uses the contractor selection as a feedback to determine an importance of each of the contractor attributes to the building owner and automatically updates the stored attribute weights based on the determined importance.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2016Publication date: January 12, 2017Applicant: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Simone Vigano, Sudhi Sinha, Youngchoon Park, Marc Perrone, Ada Ma, Justin Ploegert, Kyle Gustafson, Erik Paulson

Publication number: 20060136719Abstract: A system and method for authenticating records. Certification information may be encoded in graphical form. This graphical form, or design, may be referred to as an “Indicia.” The record at issue may be printed out by a computer or stored electronically and bear on it an indicia that relates to the authenticity of the document. The indicia (and record) may then be scanned and interpreted by the computer to authenticate the record.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2005Publication date: June 22, 2006Inventors: Michael Doyle, Robert Hamilton, Marc Perrone, Paul Doyle, Glenn Bernsohn
