Patent number: 11403829Abstract: Users can view images or renderings of items placed (virtually) within a physical space. For example, a rendering of an item can be placed within a live camera view of the physical space. A snapshot of the physical space can be captured and the snapshot can be customized, shared, etc. The renderings can be represented as two-dimensional images, e.g., virtual stickers or three-dimensional models of the items. Users can have the ability to view different renderings, move those items around, and develop views of the physical space that may be desirable. The renderings can link to products offered through an electronic marketplace and those products can be consumed. Further, collaborative design is enabled through modeling the physical space and enabling users to view and move around the renderings in a virtual view of the physical space.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2021Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: A9.COM, INC.Inventors: Jason Canada, Rupa Chaturvedi, Jared Corso, Michael Patrick Cutter, Sean Niu, Shaun Michael Post, Peiqi Tang, Stefan Vant, Mark Scott Waldo, Andrea Zehr

Patent number: 11093748Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and method for visual search and augmented reality, in which an onscreen body of visual markers overlayed on the interface signals the current state of an image recognition process. Specifically, the body of visual markers may take on a plurality of behaviors, in which a particular behavior is indicative of a particular state. Thus, the user can tell what the current state of the scanning process is by the behavior of the body of visual markers. The behavior of the body of visual markers may also indicate to the user recommended actions that can be taken to improve the scanning condition or otherwise facilitate the process. In various embodiments, as the scanning process goes from one state to another state, the onscreen body of visual markers may move or seamlessly transition from one behavior to another behavior, accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: A9.COM, INC.Inventors: Peiqi Tang, Andrea Zehr, Rupa Chaturvedi, Yu Lou, Colin Jon Taylor, Mark Scott Waldo, Shaun Michael Post

Patent number: 10733801Abstract: Systems and methods for a markerless approach to displaying an image of a virtual object in an environment are described. A computing device is used to capture an image of a real-world environment; for example including a feature-rich planar surface. One or more virtual objects which do not exist in the real-world environment are displayed in the image, such as by being positioned in a manner that they appear to be resting on the planar surface, based at least on a sensor bias value and scale information obtained by capturing multiple image views of the real-world environment.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: A9.com.
