Abstract

A method for proactively creating an image product includes capturing an image of an object in a first environment by a device, storing a library of personalized products each characterized by a product type, automatically recognizing the object in the image as having a product type associated with the library of personalized products, automatically creating a design for the personalized product of the product type using personalized content, automatically displaying the design of the personalized product of the product type incorporating the selected photo in the first environment on the device, and manufacturing a physical product based on the design of the personalized product.

Claims16

Dependent claims

A computer system for proactively creating an image product, comprising:

a computer memory configured to store a library of specification terms for image products;
an I/O unit configured to receive a voice message from a user;
and
a computer processor in communication with the I/O unit and the computer memory, wherein the computer processor is configured to convert the voice message into a text form, to conduct lexical analysis of the text, tokenize the text into a plurality of tokens by the computer system, match one or more of the tokens to the specification terms in the library to determine specification parameters for an image product, automatically identify images based on the specification parameters, and to automatically create a design for the image product that incorporates at least some of the images identified based on the specification parameters.
