Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture provide the ability to seamlessly transfer a texture. An image that has an object to be concealed is acquired. A conceal tool is activated. A source patch of a first collection of pixels within the image is defined. A target patch of a second collection of pixels within the image is defined and located over the object to be concealed. The source patch is mapped onto the target patch using a transformation (T). A contrast between the source patch and the target patch along a boundary of the source patch and the target patch is measured. A color one of the one or more pixels in the second collection is accepted/rejected based on the contrast.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a financial transaction between mobile device that include identifying a second mobile device associated with a recipient of a financial transaction to be conducted with a first mobile device associated with a sender of the transaction; enabling the sender to initiate the transaction from the first mobile device via a hand gesture on the touchscreen of the first mobile device to transfer an amount of money specified by the sender to the recipient; presenting visually the transaction from the first mobile device on the screen of the second mobile device associated with the recipient; accepting request for the financial transaction and processing the financial transaction by financial institutions; and updating relevant financial records related to the sender and the recipient, respectively once the financial transaction is cleared by the financial institutions.

Abstract: Systems and methods to facilitate the transfer of one or more objects from a first mobile device to another mobile device(s) proximate the first mobile device based on pairing or matching among the mobile devices, in which transfer among mobile devices is accomplished using hand-based gestures on the mobile devices.
