  • Patent number: 10638089
    Abstract: A network apparatus system and method of use adapted for viewing, illustrating, consulting and collaborating on medical images and saving images and illustrations in acceptable DICOM format. Specifically, a Consultant Client or a plurality of Consultant Clients having the capability to view still and streaming video medical images, then illustrating over those images with the ability to save those images. In the present invention the illustration images automatically fading and disappearing after a preset predetermined amount of time, without user input. Also a Collaborator Client, a person user or a plurality of Collaborator Clients having the ability to remotely view streaming or still medical images and illustrating over those images. The Collaborator Clients can draw, telestrate and annotate over those images with the ability to save those images and videos, and save the drawings, telestrations and annotations provided these input illustrations are visible when saved.

  • Patent number: 10244395
    Abstract: The invention relates to techniques for restricting a wireless network access for a mobile device (200). There is provided an additional cross-checking functionality on a comparator (106) of an intermediate node (100). The mobile device (200) receives a user key (88) indicating a general validation to access the WLAN of a third party. The third party operates a key server (300). The key server (300) issues a key pair, consisting of the user key (88) and an operator key (99). The operator key (99) is sent to the intermediate node (100) and is processed by a processor (105). The mobile device (200) applies the received user key (88) to an identification set (200i), identifying the device's user, and sends a reference message (22) to the intermediate node (100) via a second communication channel (2). Thereinafter, the device (200) sends its identification set (200i) via another first communication channel (1) for authentication and for cross checking to the intermediate node (100).

  • Patent number: 10114520
    Abstract: Methods and systems, including computer program products, implementing a preview cursor for image editing. One method includes displaying an image, receiving user input moving a cursor representing an editing tool to a position on the image, and in response, displaying a cursor icon representing the cursor at the position. The editing tool is operable to have an effect when applied. The cursor icon shows the effect of applying the editing tool at the position while and only while the cursor is at the position.

  • Patent number: 9152310
    Abstract: An image-editing application may transform digital images. The image-editing application may display a thumbnail image control including a sequence of thumbnail images. A main image may also be displayed. One or more of the thumbnail images may be transformed according to different transformation adjustment levels. As a user input control rolls over each of the thumbnail images, the main image may be transformed according to the adjustment level associated with the thumbnail image that currently has the user input control over it, offering a preview of the transformation adjustment level associated with the currently active thumbnail image. A slider-bar control may be associated with the thumbnail image control. The slider-bar control may be associated with a complete range of adjustment levels. The image-editing application may coordinate the operation of the slider-bar control, the thumbnail control and the display of the main image.

  • Patent number: 9123085
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a method and system for an image editing system are disclosed. A client-side image editor may receive a copy of an image from a network-based server. The image may have previously been uploaded to the network-based server for storage purposes. The client-side image editor transforms the image, or proxy image, according to one or more image transformation operations. The client-side image editor maintains an edit list, including an ordered list of transformation operations performed on the image. In response to a “Save” operation, the client-side image editor sends the edit list to the network-based server. The altered image is not be sent. The network-based server receives the edit list and may apply the transformations to the original image. Since the edit list is very small relative to the altered image, sending the edit list to the network-based client reduces the time required for a “Save” operation.
