Patent number: 11314400Abstract: A unified digital image selection system is described for selection and editing of both vector and raster graphics together. In one example, a first user input is received that selects a region of a digital image. In response to the first user input, a vector selection representation is generated of at least a portion of a vector graphic included in the selected region. A raster selection representation is also generated of at least a portion of a raster graphic included in the selected region in response to the first user input. A second user input is also received specifying a digital image editing operation. In response to the second user input, both the vector selection representation and the raster selection representation using the digital editing operation. The digital image is then displayed as having the edited vector selection representation and the edited raster selection representation.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventor: Robert Tyler Voliter

Patent number: 9710240Abstract: A method and apparatus for filtering the set of object features of a user interface and presenting the filtered set of object features for display on a display device associated with a computer system. In one example, the system generates transition timeline data for state transitions in the user interface and filters the transition timeline data as a function of a state of the user interface to generate a filtered list of transitions for display of a transition timeline. The filtering is a function of a state of the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2008Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Ethan A. Eismann, Narciso B. Jaramillo, Robert Tyler Voliter

Publication number: 20140250423Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that facilitate the simulation of runtime interactivity and other changes for computer content within a content creation environment. Certain embodiments, allow interactivity and changes, such as animations and navigation, to be simulated at design time without leaving the design application, and in some cases within a same component display. Certain embodiments add a runtime simulation feature to a creation environment that conceptually allows the creator to interact with components displayed as if the creator were using “the user's hand.” Clicking a button, for example, allows the creator to observe how the button responds at runtime. Certain embodiments thus allow a creator to quickly move back and forth between design and simulated running to facilitate the creation and testing of many types of content involving interactivity and other changes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2009Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventor: Robert Tyler Voliter

Publication number: 20140059521Abstract: Embodiments allow a runtime environment to link to an editing environment. An object or other feature may be identified for editing in a runtime environment using a specific tool or gesture. Given an identified object, an appropriate source object and/or editing application may be identified and the editing application may be launched for editing the identified object or source object. Similarly, given an identified state, an editing application may be launched to provide the application for editing in the identified state. In some cases, after any editing of an application feature, the runtime environment receives and incorporates the edited feature. The user then sees the revised features in the runtime without having to re-launch and manually return to the specific application state, object, or other feature that was edited. The ability to edit the features of a running application provides various benefits and can facilitate testing of an application's features.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2009Publication date: February 27, 2014Applicant: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventor: Robert Tyler Voliter

Patent number: 8645105Abstract: A development application can be configured to facilitate editing multiple fragments already associated with an interface design simultaneously using a graphic design application, with the fragments arranged in a logical form supported by the graphic design application. The logical form of the artwork fragments as provided to the graphic design application can correspond to the relationship between different elements of the interface design using the respective fragments. Fragments may correspond to different components, parts of components, and part states, for instance. A method can comprise accessing data defining an interface component and comprising a plurality of logically arranged elements of the component. The method can comprise extracting the artwork and arranging the artwork into a form compatible with a graphic design application. The artwork can be edited in a graphic design application and then re-integrated into the data defining the design elements of the interface after editing is complete.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2008Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Mark Shepherd, Narciso Jaramillo, Robert Tyler Voliter, Michael Schiff

Patent number: 8209633Abstract: A method is illustrated that comprises displaying a first visual representation of a set of object properties of a plurality of objects, and a second visual representation of a set of object properties of the plurality of objects, each object of the plurality of objects having a property. The method further includes receiving input selecting an object of the plurality of objects having the property, the property displayed as a transition of the selected object from the first visual representation to the second visual representation. The method additionally includes sorting the plurality of objects based upon the selected object to create a sorted plurality of objects. Further, the method includes generating transition timeline data that includes the sorted plurality of objects.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Ethan A.
