IMAGE CREATION WITH POSITIONING OF RECREATED TEXT AND SHAPES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18045204 titled 'IMAGE CREATION WITH POSITIONING OF RECREATED TEXT AND SHAPES

Simplified Explanation

The computer implemented method described in the abstract involves manipulating an image by creating editable text and shapes from the image, forming text and shape layers respectively.

  • The group of processor units creates editable text with changeable attributes from text in the image.
  • The editable text is placed in the text layer at positions corresponding to the text in the image.
  • A set of editable shapes with changeable attributes is created, corresponding to shapes in the image.
  • The set of editable shapes is placed in the shape layer at positions corresponding to the shapes in the image.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in graphic design software, photo editing applications, and digital art tools.

Problems Solved

This technology allows for easier manipulation of text and shapes within an image, providing more control and flexibility to users.

Original Abstract Submitted

A computer implemented method for manipulating an image comprising pixels. A group of processor units creates editable text having changeable text attributes from text in the image. The group of processor units forms a text layer for the image with the editable text created from the text in the image, wherein the editable text is located in text positions in the text layer corresponding to positions of the text in the image. The group of processor units creates a set of editable shapes having changeable shape attributes, wherein the set of editable shapes correspond to a set of shapes in the image. The group of processor units forms a shape layer for the image with the set of editable shapes. The set of editable shapes have a set of shape positions in the shape layer that correspond to a set of positions of the set of shapes in the image.
