    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods relating generally to pre-rendering prior receiving a command to print are disclosed. In such a method and system therefor, a determination is made that a document is open. An idle time is identified to pre-render at least a portion of the document prior to assertion of a print command therefor. At least the portion of the document is pre-rendered during the idle time thereof. In another method thereof, a determination is made that a document is offline. The document is determined to be a candidate to be pre-rendered. The document is pre-rendered to provide a rendered version thereof prior to assertion of a print command. The rendered version is cached.

    Abstract: Systems and methods relate generally to contextual features for a printing device. In an example method thereof, features of a printing device configuration are queried by a firmware service. The features obtained by a first dynamic scheduling service associated with the printing device are packaged. The features packaged are retrieved to provide a features list thereof by a second dynamic scheduling service for a driver associated with the printing device. Dynamic scheduling data is generated by an artificial intelligence service including deactivating one or more of the features responsive to a policy. The generating of the dynamic scheduling data includes filtering the features using the policy by the artificial intelligence service. A dynamic user interface is created by the second dynamic scheduling service responsive to the dynamic scheduling data.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying cut-out patterns from a scanned raw image file and arranging shapes within a document prior to printing cut-out patterns are described. A printing device may identify and group contents in a page of a print job as shapes to be cut out from the paper after they are printed. The printing device may then detect the grouped page contents as cut-out patterns. For each cut-out pattern, the printing device may detect the white spaces of content of the cut-out pattern and mark them as available for printing other cut-out patterns. Thus, the printing device may print multiple cut-out patterns on a same page based on using the white space within larger cut-out patterns.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for decoding data streams are provided. A computing device can receive a decoder-input data stream encoded in a decoder-input format. The decoder-input data stream can include one or more pages of content. The decoder-input data stream can be initiated by an identifier identifying the decoder-input format (which may be the same as an encoder-output format) and a lookup table. The lookup table can reference objects within the decoder-input data stream and can specify locations of each of the one or more pages within the decoder-input data stream. The computing device can generate an output based on the decoder-input data stream.

    Abstract: A drone printer configured to print an image on a destination surface includes a flying management module (FMM) and a printing system (PS). The FMM comprises a positioning system configured to detect position of the drone printer in 3-Dimensional (3D) space, and generate a rendering flight plan (RFP) in the 3D space, said RFP being representative of routing path that the drone printer is to follow during printing of the image on the destination surface; and a stabilizer system configured to stabilize the drone printer in the 3D space during any or a combination of flying, aerial manoeuvring, and homing. The PS can include at least one colorant tank; and at least one printing device configured to draw colorant from the at least one colorant tank, and apply the colorant on the destination surface so as to print the image along at least a part of the RFP.

    Abstract: Systems and methods relate generally to textile patch attachment to a textile material. In an example, a method relating generally to textile patch attachment to a textile material is disclosed. In such a method, design and coloring of a textile patch and the textile material is detected. This detection includes: capturing images of the textile patch and the textile material with a camera; sending the images to a programmed computer system in communication with the camera for image processing; determining thickness and colors of the textile patch and the textile material from the image processing of the images; and determining position of the textile patch relative to a pattern of the textile material from the image processing of the images. After the detecting, data obtained from the detecting is displayed on a display screen of the programmed computer system.

    Abstract: Systems and methods relate generally to contextually providing a dynamic user interface. In an example method thereof, an apps list is obtained by a dynamic scheduling service for an operating system. The apps list is generated responsive to a query by the operating system responsive to a request by the dynamic scheduling service. Dynamic scheduling data is obtained by the dynamic scheduling service, which includes generating the dynamic scheduling data by an artificial intelligence service including filtering apps on the apps list responsive to a policy. A dynamic user interface is created by the dynamic scheduling service responsive to the dynamic scheduling data, which includes deactivating one or more of the apps on the apps list by the artificial intelligence service responsive to the policy.
