US 10,853,982 B2 · Systems and methods for selecting images for placement in portions of a graphical layout

Abstract

Systems and methods are described herein for selection of tagged images to populate the graphical layout. The system accesses a layout that defines a plurality of portions of the graphical layout and corresponding image parameters for each portion of the graphical layout. The system selects a first portion of the plurality of portions and retrieves the corresponding image parameters. If the image parameters indicate that the selected portion of the graphical layout is subject to a visual effect, the system selects an image having image parameters, such as the tags described above, indicating that the image can be placed in a portion of the graphical interface which will be subject to the particular visual effect. Otherwise, the system selects an image having image parameters that match the image parameters corresponding to the selected portion of the graphical interface.

Dependent claims

A method for selecting an image for placement in a graphical layout, the method comprising:

determining whether an overlay will be displayed over a portion of the graphical layout;
and
in response to determining that an overlay will be displayed over the portion of the graphical layout:
determining a position of the overlay relative to the position of the portion of the graphical layout;
retrieving, from a database, a plurality of images that can be placed in the portion of the graphical layout located at the position;
identifying, in each image, a portion of the respective image that will be covered by the overlay;
determining whether the overlay will significantly reduce visibility of the portion of the respective image;
and
in response to determining that the overlay will not significantly reduce visibility of the portion of the respective image, selecting the respective image for placement in the portion of the graphical layout.

6 more elements

A system for selecting an image for placement in a graphical layout, the system comprising:

memory;
and
control circuitry configured to:
determine whether an overlay will be displayed over a portion of the graphical layout;
and
in response to determining that an overlay will be displayed over the portion of the graphical layout:
determine a position of the overlay relative to the position of the portion of the graphical layout;
retrieve, from a database stored in the memory, a plurality of images that can be placed in the portion of the graphical layout located at the position;
identify, in each image, a portion of the respective image that will be covered by the overlay;
determine whether the overlay will significantly reduce visibility of the portion of the respective image;
and
in response to determining that the overlay will not significantly reduce visibility of the portion of the respective image, select the respective image for placement in the portion of the graphical layout.

9 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having non-transitory computer-readable instructions encoded thereon for selecting an image for placement in a graphical layout which, when executed by control circuitry, cause the control circuitry to:

determine whether an overlay will be displayed over a portion of the graphical layout;
and
in response to determining that an overlay will be displayed over the portion of the graphical layout:
determine a position of the overlay relative to the position of the portion of the graphical layout;
retrieve, from a database stored in the memory, a plurality of images that can be placed in the portion of the graphical layout located at the position;
identify, in each image, a portion of the respective image that will be covered by the overlay;
determine whether the overlay will significantly reduce visibility of the portion of the respective image;
and
in response to determining that the overlay will not significantly reduce visibility of the portion of the respective image, select the respective image for placement in the portion of the graphical layout.
