摘要:
While a user is viewing in a first display area a portion of an electronic document intended to be printed to produce a printed product, presenting to the user in a second display area a representation of the physical outline of the printed product and an indicator that indicates to the user the size and location of the electronic document portion relative to the printed product. When the user positions a cursor in the second display area, a second indicator image, visually distinctive from the first indicator image, is displayed. The user can position the second indicator at a desired location relative to the representation and request that the portion of the electronic document at that second indicator location be displayed in the first display area.

Computer-implemented electronic document design systems and methods allowing a user to integrate user-specific location maps into custom printed products. During the creation of an electronic design of a product intended for subsequent printing, user-provided location information is received by a server computer and used to generate a user map suitable for high quality printing. Lower resolution display and thumbnail versions of the map suitable for displaying to the user of the client system are generated.

Computer-implemented systems and method for generating personalized email communications soliciting orders of custom products. Product reorder candidates are identified from customer records and a personalized email order solicitation is sent to the customer. The email is adapted to display an image of the customer's previously designed custom product either exactly as originally designed or, if appropriate, as automatically updated prior to displaying to the user.

A method using two local clipboards in conjunction with the system clipboard to perform cut-and-paste and copy-and-paste operations during the creation and editing of markup language documents. A user editing a document has the option of cutting or copying an entire textbox or selected text from within a textbox. If an entire textbox is copied, two local clipboards are used in combination with the system clipboard to store related information in multiple locations. Upon receipt of a paste command from the user, if a text insertion cursor is present, the text to be pasted is inserted into an existing textbox. If no text insertion cursor is present, a new textbox is created and the text is inserted in the new textbox. The attributes of the text in a newly created textbox depend on how and from what source the text was cut or copied.

Electronic document design systems and methods allowing a user engaged in customizing an electronic product to re-crop product images in a manner that is compatible with the product layout. Upon selection of an image area in the product design, the user can choose to re-crop the image currently displayed in the image area or to select and crop a different image to be used in the selected image area. A cropping indicator that can be resized and repositioned is provided to the user. The cropping indicator is automatically sized to have and retain the same height to width ratio as the selected image area. Upon completion of any resizing or repositioning operation, the selected image area of the electronic product is updated to reflect the cropping changes made by the user.

A bridge structure includes a light-weight, corrosion-resistant, readily installed bridge deck formed of modular deck panels spliced to each other on site. The deck panels are preferably shop-fabricated by longitudinal welding of adjacently placed multi-void elongate structural elements. Longitudinally adjacent elongate elements are spliced by providing internally disposed shear elements prior to longitudinal welding of adjacent spliced elongate elements, with the end joints between spliced elongate elements being arrayed in a staggered manner. A safety rail system is mounted to run alongside and above outer edges of the finished bridge deck mounted to a system of support girders. In one aspect of the invention, the bridge deck is very securely mounted to a support girder by flowing an initially fluid uncured medium into the voids of a structural element and, via holes formed into a bottom of that structural element, contiguously into a space defined by a bottom surface of the deck and a top surface of the girder. In this aspect, studs are welded to the top surface of the girder and extend through the holes into the voids, so that when the medium is cured-in-place it serves to bond the structural element to the girder. The cured medium inside the void facilitates transfer of shear and bending-related forces to the girder.

During the creation of an electronic design of a product intended for subsequent printing, user-provided location information is received by a server computer and used to generate a user map suitable for high quality printing. Lower resolution display and thumbnail versions of the map suitable for displaying to the user of the client system are generated. The display version is sent to the client system for review and editing by the user. The user map, the display map, and the thumbnail are stored at the server for possible future use. The maps are created and stored with the same height to width ratio as the map area in the electronic product design into which the map will be placed. The user is provided with a cropping tool to allow the user to select the portion of the map to be incorporated into the electronic product design.
摘要:
A system and method for automatically generating composite images from component images selected by a system user and incorporating the composite images into an image of a custom product. The user can select component images in any sequence and can delete, add, replace or change component images and colors during the design process. The library of component images is organized into categories and subcategories for presentation to the user.
