A system includes an application generating website building system (AGWBS) for converting a website to an application (app) which operates on a mobile device. The AGWBS includes at least one database storing at least one layout option for the app and BI (business information) for the website, where the BI includes at least use of settings and features by a designer of the website and of apps of the AGWBS from previous editing sessions and an app-editor to determine an editing mode for a designer of the app according to at least the use of settings and features and to provide at least one layout option from the at least one database for the app according to the editing mode and to receive modification to a designer selected layout.

System integrating a mobile device application creation, editing and distribution system with a website design system

A system and method for a website building system (WBS) hosting multiple websites, and a message system to generate at least one actionable widget card (AWC), where the AWC has elements comprising at least content, fields and attributes and implements at least e-commerce related operations for a product, the message system includes a card creator to create at least one AWC according to a trigger from a website associated with the product, stored pre-defined rules concerning card definitions or pre-defined widget card parameters and a card transformer to transform at least one of: content, fields and attributes of the at least one AWC according to transformation rules to create at least one new AWC, where a transformation is according to at least one of: a user request, related elements and product similarity.

Actionable widget cards

An application generating website building system (AGWBS) converts a website to an application which operates on a mobile device. The system includes a website building system (WBS) to enable a user to build a website, and to host the website, a database to store website data that includes at least a structure of the website, an application generator repository to store at least several per-vertical base apps, where each per-vertical base app is a template app for one type of business, and an application generator to determine the website type of business, to generate an initial extended application content file (XACF) at least from an associated per-vertical base app for the type of business, to analyze the structure of the website to generate a graph of elements of the website and to use the graph to modify the associated per-vertical base app into an XACF defining the mobile application.

A messaging system for a website building system hosting a website. The system also includes at least one database storing website parameters, pre-defined rules concerning card definitions, pre-defined widget card parameters and a product classification taxonomy and at least one card product system to receive a trigger from the website, associated with an action related to a product. The system generates an actionable widget card associated with the product based on the action, the website parameters, the pre-defined rules, the pre-defined widget card parameters and the product classification taxonomy where the widget card implements e-commerce related operations for the product between a publisher of the website with an end user of the website.

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for image or video personalization with selectable effects. Image data, which can include video sequences or digital still images, can be received in a graphical personalization tool to perform various image processing and related operations to insert personalized objects into the image data. In aspects, the personalized object(s) can be or include graphical inputs such as, for instance, textual information, graphical information, and/or other visual objects. The graphical personalization tool can automatically perform one or more processing stages in the image path, such as identifying key regions in a still image and/or key frames in a video sequence, in which personalized objects will be generated and inserted. Personalized objects can be extended to additional regions of a still image, can be animated across multiple still images, and/or can be extended to additional frames of a video sequence, all on an automated or user-assisted basis.

Systems and methods for image or video personalization with selectable effects

As set forth herein, a computer-implemented method facilitates pre-analyzing an image and automatically suggesting to the user the most suitable regions within an image for text-based personalization. Image regions that are spatially smooth and regions with existing text (e.g. signage, banners, etc.) are primary candidates for personalization. This gives rise to two sets of corresponding algorithms: one for identifying smooth areas, and one for locating text regions. Smooth regions are found by dividing the image into blocks and applying an iterative combining strategy, and those regions satisfying certain spatial properties (e.g. size, position, shape of the boundary) are retained as promising candidates. In one embodiment, connected component analysis is performed on the image for locating text regions. Finally, based on the smooth and text regions found in the image, several alternative approaches are described herein to derive an overall metric for 'suitability for personalization.'

Methods and system for analyzing and rating images for personalization

Methods and systems herein receive a selection of at least one variable data printing (VDP) pattern from a first user to compose an initial sample design. The methods receive image, text, and graphics into the initial sample design from the first user and the user tags such image, text and graphics with VDP pattern elements. The processes of receiving the image, text, and graphics and tagging alter the initial sample design into the tagged sample design. Further, the methods and systems can automatically convert the tagged sample design into at least one different format file. The methods and systems can automatically provide the different format file to at least one second user. Additionally, the second user can include data components into the different format file to support the composition of a targeted marketing campaign sample.

System and method for creating variable data print samples for campaigns

Processing of a variable print document corresponding to a plurality of elements, each element having a type, a coverage area and a z-axis value, may be improved by creating a composite elements to replace groups of elements when element types are compatible and when creating composite elements is desirable based at least on the coverage area of the composite element, for example, in relation to the sum of the coverage areas of the elements in the group, and otherwise swapping z-axis values of elements if the elements do not overlap. Elements may further include at least one of a transparency and/or text-wrap parameter, which may be used in the method for producing composite elements.

System and method for processing variable print documents

A production system and method for producing a VIPDL output stream from a dynamic document and a recipients list including a data iterator for iterating through the recipients list one record at a time and computing values for each dynamic object in the dynamic document for the record, a document instantiator for creating an instance document for the record, an output generator operating in tandem with the document instantiator for generating code specifying the rendering of the document instance, and a merge component for generating the VIPDL output stream from output of the output generator.
