Abstract: A method includes displaying, by a display screen, a front view of a card. The front view includes a front plan view in which a front surface of the card appears to be parallel with a front surface of the screen. The card is portrayed on the screen as rotating oscillatorily while remaining less than 90 degrees from the front plan view.

Abstract: A system stores, in a database, different stock templates and also, for each stock template, a stock image to be displayed with the template. The system receives a user-designated image. The system then displays items simultaneously. Each item incorporates a different one of the stock templates along with the respective template's stock image. The system provides an image selector that is in a first position and capable of being switched by a user to a second position. Each time the user switches the selector to the second position, the system transforms the stock images in the displayed items simultaneously to the user-designated image. Each time the user switches the selector to the first position, the system transforms the stock images in the displayed items simultaneously to the items' respective stock images.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for filtering a pool of image designs. Votes for a plurality of image designs are received, the votes forming a distribution across the pool of image designs. A mean, a confidence interval, and a minimum are determined for the distribution based on the plurality of votes. A determination is made as to whether a break-point threshold has been reached for the pool of image designs, where the break-point threshold is based on the mean, the confidence interval, and the minimum. A further determination is made as to whether each particular design should be removed from consideration after the break-point threshold has been met, where a particular design is removed from consideration based on a mean of votes for the particular design and a confidence interval for the particular design. Image designs that have not been removed from consideration are then given preferential treatment when selecting the images to display.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a graphical design having one or more embedded images for purchase over a computer network. An system may include a processing system, a template database, and an image processing application stored in a memory device and executable by the processing system. The application may be configured to: receive one or more digital images over the computer network for inclusion in the graphical design; receive input to select a design category; receive, based on the selected design category, a set of graphical templates from the plurality of graphical templates stored in the template database; embed the one or more digital images in each graphical template in the set of graphical templates to generate a plurality of candidate graphical designs; display the plurality of candidate graphical designs simultaneously on a user interface; and receive a selection of one of the plurality of candidate graphical designs.

Abstract: A distributed system framework and a distributed system architecture that includes three features: it can accommodate a large number of addressable entities, it is possible to connect any arbitrary group of entities together into a virtual network, and the infrastructure supports large numbers of concurrent virtual networks.
