  • Publication number: 20180144104
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for determining nutrition information of nutrition items for a user of a computer device. The method includes: (a) receiving a photograph of a nutrition item from the user computer device, the photograph being captured by a camera of the user computer device; (b) analyzing the photograph and extracting a set of features from the photograph using a nutrition item feature recognition engine, and determining a nutrition item type of the nutrition item based at least in part on the one or more extracted features; (c) determining a quantity, volume, or mass of the nutrition item in the photograph; (d) determining nutritional content information of the nutrition item based on the nutrition item type and the quantity, volume, or mass of the nutrition item; and (e) transmitting the nutritional content information to the user computer device for displaying to the user.

  • Patent number: 7752551
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention comprise a design tool for designing an application interface. The design tool includes a graphical user interface (GUI) that visually represents a hierarchy of data and the relationships between the data. Thus, the design tool eliminates the need for an interface designer to have independent knowledge of the structure of the data (i.e., the data fields and relationships between the data). The design tool's GUI represents the data and the relationships between the data in a hierarchical display referred to as a data palette. An output hierarchy comprised of output levels is created as the user selects fields from the data palette to be displayed in the application's interface. When a data field is selected, the design tool automatically determines the appropriate interface component and output level of the output hierarchy using the relationships defined for the data. Output levels are associated with interface components that comprise the application's interface.
