This invention captures the “state” of a design as a mathematical function, rather than the design itself and then applies a series of transformations to that “state” to map it to a new style. The system and method enables designers to seamlessly extrapolate designs across apparels and accessories of various sizes and styles. The automated system and method obviates the need for creating individual designs for each style or size, while ensuring that the transformed designs retain their visual characteristics even upon extrapolation."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"System and method for capturing design state of apparel or accessory to enable extrapolation for style and size variants","description":"This invention outlines a novel method for capturing the “state” of an intended design on an apparel pattern, and subsequently transforming that “state” to a new style or size and then applying that m","keywords":[]},"attribution":{"source":"Patentable","source_url":"https://patentable.app","canonical_url":"https://patentable.app/patents/US-9661886","license":"CC-BY-4.0-like","license_terms":"AI-generated analysis on this page (summary, layman_explanation, technical_analysis, business_analysis, faqs) may be reused with attribution and a visible link back to the canonical URL above.
