Patent number: 11880930Abstract: A system and method for content creation via interactive layers is provided. A mutable general object on which to build an artefact is stored. The mutable general object includes a plurality of n-dimensional data units capable of being rendered in a multi-dimensional display. An environment represented by the artefact is displayed. The artefact includes layers that each represent a different characteristic of the environment. Each layer includes a generator and layer parameters. A unique identifier is assigned to each layer. The identifiers for the layers of the artefact are composited and the composited identifiers are stored. Upon accessing the composited identifiers, the artefact is reconfigured for display using the generator and layer parameters from each of the layers.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Jacob Le, Gregory Michael Youngblood, Robert Thomas Krivacic, Jichen Zhu

Patent number: 11410375Abstract: A system and method for content creation via interactive layers is provided. Parameters for an artifact are received. A mutable general object on which to build the artifact is maintained and includes a plurality of n-dimensional data units. Layers of data for the artifact are generated via different generators. Each layer of the artifact represents a set of characteristics based on arrangements of the data units. Each layer is generated by obtaining data about an arrangement of the data units for that layer, from one or more layers of the artifact prior to that data layer, and creating the layer to mutate the data units based on the data from one or more prior data layers and the received parameters. The artifact is formed by stacking the layers via the mutable general object. Each data layer is stored with the generator for that layer as a string of characters.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Palo Alto Research Center IncorporatedInventors: Jacob Le, Gregory Michael Youngblood, Robert Thomas Krivacic, Jichen Zhu

Patent number: 10621866Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing guest parking reservations are provided. Motor vehicle parking spaces located in a residential area are managed through a server. Smart parking devices and vehicle occupancy sensors that are each physically proximate to least one of the parking spaces are interfaced to the server.
