IMAGE TABLE GENERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233223 titled 'IMAGE TABLE GENERATION
The present disclosure pertains to a method for automatically generating table images. The method involves determining the configuration of a table, including the number of rows, columns, and a spanning area indicating a fraction of spanning cells in the table. The table is then generated based on this configuration, and content is inserted into the cells using a selected content template. An image table representing the appearance of the table is created and provided.
- Method for automatically generating table images
- Determining table configuration including rows, columns, and a spanning area
- Generating table based on configuration
- Inserting content into cells using a content template
- Creating an image table representing the appearance of the table
Potential Applications: - Graphic design software - Data visualization tools - Website development platforms
Problems Solved: - Streamlining the process of creating table images - Ensuring consistency in table design - Simplifying the insertion of content into tables
Benefits: - Time-saving for users - Improved visual presentation of data - Enhanced user experience
Commercial Applications: Title: Automated Table Image Generation for Graphic Design Software This technology could be utilized in graphic design software to automate the creation of table images, saving time for designers and improving the overall efficiency of the design process. Additionally, this innovation could be integrated into data visualization tools to enhance the presentation of data in a visually appealing manner.
Questions about Automated Table Image Generation: 1. How does this method improve the efficiency of creating table images? This method streamlines the process by automatically generating table images based on a specified configuration, eliminating the need for manual design work.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond graphic design software? This technology could also be applied in data visualization tools, website development platforms, and any other software that requires the creation of visually appealing tables.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure relates to a method for automatically generating table images. the method includes determining a table configuration including a number of rows of the table, a number of columns of the table and a spanning area of the table, the spanning area indicating a fraction of spanning cells in the table. the table may be generated in accordance with the table configuration. content may be inserted into cells of the table using a selected content template. an image table of an appearance of the table may be created and the image table may be provided.
