Abstract: Disclosure is directed to a preconfigured planar container template (“container template”) that can be assembled into a triangular shipping container (“container”). The container template is a substantially planar panel/flat sheet having a specified number of fold lines at specified positions in the planar panel, and which can be assembled into the container by folding at the fold lines. While not only assembling the container template into the container is very easy, making or manufacturing the container template is also very easy. The making or the manufacturing of the container template can include cutting a planar panel, e.g., made of some preferable material, into a container template of a specified shape and size and making a specified number of fold lines on the container template. The container template can be manufactured without using any securing products, such as glue and staple.

Abstract: Disclosed here are methods, systems, paradigms and apparatus for displaying artworks using magnetic prints and magnetic frames. A magnetic print is an artwork printed on a flexible sheet that can be magnetically attached to a magnetic frame, which has magnetic properties. The flexible sheet is made using one or materials, including a metal that is attracted to a magnet. The flexible sheet can also contain a magnet, which is attracted to the magnetic frame. The flexible sheet has an artwork on one surface and can be removably attached, e.g., magnetically, to the magnetic frame on a second surface. The magnetic frame and print facilitates easy switching of the artwork. For example, when a user wishes to switch an existing artwork to a new artwork, the user can peel off the old magnetic print from the magnetic frame and lay out the new magnetic print on the magnetic frame.

Abstract: Disclosed here are methods, devices, paradigms and structures for creating, displaying and facilitating the selection of art, design and décor. A digital art device (“device”) facilitates creating and displaying a digital art in accordance with the relationship to a viewer. The device can include sensors such as cameras, gyroscopes, audio processor, photometer, eye-tracking sensors, etc., to identify various types of human interaction, and the environment around the device. The device displays, adapts, or transforms the digital art according to the observed human interaction and/or surroundings of the device. Tools will allow developers to create new applications for displaying and creating digital art to be viewed on the device. Developers can access underlying décor discovery and visualization tools to process color, style and other décor-related attributes. The capabilities of the device and the décor discovery and visualization tools can be exposed as new functions in the applications created for the device.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for discovering décor harmonized with a décor style (“the technology”). The décor includes décor items, e.g. artworks, paintings, pictures, artifacts, architectural pieces, arrangement of artworks, color selection, room décor, rugs, mats, furnishings, household items, fashion, clothes, jewelry, car interiors, garden arrangements etc. The technology facilitates analyzing user input to identify a décor style from a décor style dictionary, obtaining décor that harmonizes with décor style, and presenting a representation of the décor to the user. The décor style dictionary includes décor styles that are generated based on an analysis of content, including images and description of décor, from a plurality of sources. The décor styles can be based on a number of concepts, including a theme of the décor, a color/color palette, a mood of the person, a fashion era, a type of architecture, etc. The technology facilitates presentation of discovered décor using computer generated imagery techniques.

Abstract: Disclosed here are methods, devices, paradigms and structures for wiring a picture frame, and for generating user defined templates for hanging picture frames wired using the device in various layouts. The device allows the maker of the frame to install a hanging wire to the frame at a predefined position, for example, at a predefined distance from a top edge of the frame. A spring-loaded peg mounted on a flat slab, at a predefined distance from a wall member of the device, allows wiring the frame such that the apex of the wire is at the predefined distance from the top edge of the frame. The frame is placed in the device with the top edge of the frame adjacent to the wall member. The flat slab is configured to move vertically on a channel guide mounted on the wall member to accommodate varying thickness of the frame.

Abstract: Disclosed here are methods, devices, paradigms and structures for wiring a picture frame, and for generating user defined templates for hanging picture frames wired using the device in various layouts. A template may be generated on a flexible material, such as a paper. The template includes a manifestation of picture frames in a particular layout. The dimensions of the manifestation of the picture frames are substantially the same as actual picture frames for which the template is generated. The template also includes a marker in the manifestation of each of the picture frames that indicates a position for placing a fastener on the wall to hang the picture frame.

Abstract: The disclosure is related to a décor harmony service (DHS) that facilitates mapping of colors from a color palette to décor accessories in a setting, e.g., a room, such that the décor accessories, when arranged together, appear harmonious to a user. For example, using harmony-distribution rules, the DHS maps a set of décor accessories occupying “60%” of the area of a room to a main color of a color palette, a second set of décor accessories occupying “30%” to a feature color and a third set of décor accessories occupying “10%” to an accent color. The DHS generates a representation of the room, e.g., an image of the room, with the décor accessories having the assigned colors. The DHS facilitates a user to use the generated image for finding and purchasing décor products that match with a décor accessory in the generated image.
