  • Patent number: 11544915
    Abstract: In the disclosed systems and methods for competitive scene completion, in conjunction with a scene completion challenge, an image of an initial scene and a plurality of markers are displayed. For each user marker selection, virtual furnishing units corresponding to the unit type are displayed. User unit selection results in display of a three-dimensional graphic of the selected virtual furnishing unit at the corresponding coordinates within the scene, thereby creating an augmented scene that comprises the initial scene with three-dimensional graphics of selected virtual furnishing units. The augmented scene is submitted to a remote server. The user is provided with a reward that consists of credits. Responsive to user selection to access the store, a user interface for the store is displayed within the application. Visual representations of tangible products are displayed. The credits are configured for use towards purchase of the tangible products.

  • Patent number: 11263828
    Abstract: In the disclosed systems and methods for competitive scene completion, an application displays an initial scene of a first scene completion challenge and displays within the initial scene a plurality of markers. Each of the markers has corresponding predefined designated coordinates and corresponds to a furnishing unit type. The application also displays virtual furnishing units that match the furnishing unit type of a corresponding marker. User selection of virtual furnishing units results in display of a three-dimensional rendition of the selected units at corresponding coordinates within the scene, thereby creating an augmented scene that comprises the initial scene with three-dimensional renditions of selected virtual furnishing units. The augmented scene or user selections of virtual furnishing units is submitted to a remote server and the user is provided with a reward.

  • Patent number: 10922900
    Abstract: In the disclosed systems and methods for competitive scene completion, a user selects a first scene completion challenge that comprises an image of an initial scene and a plurality of markers. Each marker has a designated set of coordinates within the initial scene and corresponds to a furnishing unit type. For each user marker selection, virtual furnishing units corresponding to the unit type are displayed. User unit selection results in display of a three-dimensional graphic of the selected virtual furnishing unit at the corresponding coordinates within the scene, thereby creating an augmented scene that comprises the initial scene with three-dimensional graphics of selected virtual furnishing units. The augmented scene or user selections of virtual furnishing units is submitted to a remote server. The user is provided with a reward.

  • Patent number: 10504297
    Abstract: In the disclosed systems and methods for competitive scene completion, a user selects from among one or more affordances, each representing a different challenge and comprising a scene image and plurality of markers. Each marker has independent scene coordinates and a type. The scene and markers of the selected challenge is displayed. For each user marker selection, corresponding furnishing units are displayed. The units match the marker type and include units retained and not retained by the user. User unit selection results in display of a graphic of the selected unit at the corresponding coordinates within the scene. The scene is thereby populated with graphics. The unit selections are submitted upon satisfaction of a challenge completion criterion specifying which scene coordinates must be populated. Responsive to submission, the user unit selections are subjected to community vote on a remote server and the results are provided to the user.

  • Patent number: 7065337
    Abstract: A single conversion tuner is provided for receiving digital terrestrial broadcast signals. The tuner comprises a single frequency changer comprising a mixer and local oscillator controlled by a PLL synthesiser. A non-alignable variable low pass filter is provided between the tuner input and the mixer, which is of the image reject type. The bandwidth of the filter is varied so as to track the local oscillator frequency to provide sufficient attenuation of the image channel without requiring any alignment during manufacture.
