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: Method and system for discovering artistic preferences by using a graphical user interface (GUI) tool to navigate through a collection of art images based on one or more dimensions within an art image. The GUI tool allows a user to display one or more selectable dimensions of a first image that, when selected, are used as a query to locate and display other images that have a dimension that is equal or similar to the one or more selected dimensions.

Abstract translation: 通过使用图形用户界面（GUI）工具来基于艺术图像内的一个或多个维度导航艺术图像的集合来发现艺术偏好的方法和系统。 GUI工具允许用户显示第一图像的一个或多个可选择的尺寸，当被选择时，它们被用作查询以定位和显示具有与所述一个或多个所选尺寸相同或相似的维度的其他图像。

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: Methods and systems for accurately determining how art will appear in a particular setting. In one embodiment, a user uploads a photograph of the setting as a background for displaying an image of an object. The image of the object is disposed within the photograph and customizable to a preference of the user. In another embodiment, the image of the object is disposed into the photograph of a setting and proportionally scaled to fit a dimension of a feature within the particular setting of the photograph. A user measures the actual dimension (height and/or width, for example) of the feature within the real particular setting and applies the measurement to the image of the feature in the photograph. In response, the disclosed system automatically and proportionally resizes the image of the object to accurately represent how the object will appear in the actual setting.

Abstract translation: 用于准确确定艺术品如何在特定设置中出现的方法和系统。 在一个实施例中，用户将设置的照片上传为用于显示对象的图像的背景。 对象的图像被布置在照片内并且可以根据用户的偏好进行定制。 在另一个实施例中，将对象的图像放置在设置的照片中并按比例缩放以适合于在照片的特定设置内的特征的尺寸。 用户测量实际特定设置中的特征的实际尺寸（例如，高度和/或宽度），并将测量应用于照片中的特征图像。 作为响应，所公开的系统自动和按比例地调整对象的图像大小以准确地表示对象将如何在实际设置中出现。

Abstract: A computer system and method allowing a user to upload an image representing artwork into the memory of the computer system. Thereafter, after the image is uploaded and approved, the image can be made available for display to other users of the computer system and made available for sale as an original artwork, or sale as a reproduction using a print-on-demand (POD) process. In one embodiment, the computer system is a retail website that displays and sells images, such as posters, photographs, and artwork. The user is an artist who desires to upload their artwork to the computer system for inclusion in the artist's portfolio that is electronically stored by the computer system. Once the artwork is uploaded by the artist and approved, the artwork can is displayed to other users of the computer system and/or made available for sale using POD if selected by the artist and approved.

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.
