Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to the measurement of objects. Using unique processes, the present systems and methods can determine the size of an object using a computing device. For example, in certain embodiments, the present systems and methods receive a physical object such as a finger, determine the size of the finger in pixels, and convert the size of the finger in pixels into a ring size.
Claims21
A method for automatically sizing a physical object via an electronic computing device, comprising the steps of:
- displaying a silhouette of an anticipated physical object on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the electronic computing device;
- receiving input at the electronic computing device corresponding to the silhouette, wherein the input results in a display of an updated silhouette of the anticipated physical object such that the updated silhouette substantially matches the physical object, the updated silhouette having a pixel dimension;
- retrieving a pixel ratio corresponding to the GUI of the electronic computing device;
- and
- calculating an attribute of the physical object based on the pixel dimension and the pixel ratio.
A system for automatically sizing a physical object, comprising:
- a database that stores pixel ratios for electronic computing devices;
- and
- an electronic computing device in operative communication with the database, the electronic computing device having a processor operative to:
- display a silhouette of an anticipated physical object on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the electronic computing device;
- receive input at the electronic computing device corresponding to the silhouette, wherein the input results in a display of an updated silhouette of the anticipated physical object such that the updated silhouette substantially matches the physical object, the updated silhouette having a pixel dimension;
- retrieve a pixel ratio corresponding to the GUI of the electronic computing device from the database;
- and
- calculate an attribute of the physical object based on the pixel dimension and the pixel ratio.
A mobile device for automatically sizing a physical object, comprising:
- a processor operable on the mobile device, the processor operative to:
- display a silhouette of an anticipated physical object on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the mobile device;
- receive input at the mobile device corresponding to the silhouette, wherein the input results in a display of an updated silhouette of the anticipated physical object such that the updated silhouette substantially matches the physical object, the updated silhouette having a pixel dimension;
- retrieve a pixel ratio corresponding to the GUI of the mobile device;
- and
- calculate an attribute of the physical object based on the pixel dimension and the pixel ratio.
