Abstract: A system for creating image and or text-based projects from a computing appliance includes a server connected to a network, the server having access to a processor, a data repository, and a non-transitory physical medium. Software running from the non-transitory physical medium provides a first function for establishing a client server connection between the server and a computing appliance connected to the network, a second function for initiating an active data session between the computing appliance and a data server, a third function for storing a database of zip codes with the relevant cities and states on the user-operated computing appliance, a fourth function for detecting when a user enters a zip code onto a form field, a fifth function for looking up the entered zip code, and a sixth function for retrieving the associated city and state information and auto-populating the text fields associated with the zip code.

Abstract: A system for creating media-based projects includes a server, the server having access to a processor and a data repository, the server including a non-transitory physical medium, and software running from the non-transitory physical medium, the software providing a method comprising steps of receiving a plurality of images from a user-operated computing appliance to add to the media-project; performing image analysis on the images added to the media-project to identify a plurality of distinguishable features in the images; and selecting a subset of the plurality of distinguishable features in the images for presentation in a mosaic pattern in the media-project, wherein the mosaic pattern comprises the plurality of distinguishable features displayed in a tile pattern comprising a plurality of tiles, and wherein an overlaid die-cut pattern has a plurality of die-cuts corresponding to the plurality of tiles through which the mosaic pattern comprising the distinguishable features is visible.

Abstract: A system for creating image and or text-based projects on a computing appliance having a space-constrained display includes a server, the server having access to least one processor, a data repository, and a non-transitory physical medium. Software running from the non-transitory physical medium provides a first function for establishing a client server connection between the server and at least one mobile computing device, a second function for initiating an active data session between a user involved in project creation and or in project editing through a graphics user interface (GUI), a third function for displaying a field of a multi-field form for text input on the display of the mobile computing appliance, a fourth function for detecting that the field of the multi-field form displayed by the third function is populated, and a fifth function for displaying a next field on the mobile computing device for text input.

Abstract: A system for creating and editing image and or text-based projects from a mobile computing appliance includes a server connected to a network, the server having access to least one processor and a data repository, the server including a non-transitory physical medium, and software running from the non-transitory physical medium, the software providing a first function for establishing a client server connection between the server and at least one user-operated computing appliance connected to the network, a second function for providing a mobile application including an image selection component, a project previewing component, and a project ordering component to the mobile computing appliance, and a third function for enabling initiation of and maintenance of an active data session between one or more users involved in project creation and or in project editing through the mobile application.

Abstract: A system for creating image and or text-based projects from a mobile application includes a server having access to least one processor, a data repository, and a non-transitory physical medium. Software running from the medium provides a first function for establishing a client server connection between the server and at least one user-operated mobile computing device connected to the network, a second function for initiating an active data session with the user through a graphics user interface (GUI), a third function for capturing a visual likeness of one or more ordered image and or text-based projects, a fourth function for presenting the likeness of the one or more ordered image and or text based projects as the primary indicator of an ordered project, and a fifth function for enabling navigation of and digital expansion of the one or more ordered projects indicated in display on the mobile computing device.
