There are disclosed methods and apparatus for manufacture of prints produced and packaged from image inventories. A physical print production and packaging machine assigns metadata to each physical print of a frame of a digital video work. It takes objects that have been detected, recognized and assigned metadata to the objects by the frame slicing and packaging machine and detects, recognizes and assigns new items of metadata to objects that are unique to the physical print. The print production and packaging machine then generates a cryptographic hash of the physical print's digital file. Lastly, the print production and packaging machine writes the hash to a node of a transaction processing network.

A method for printing a document on an electronic paper with a virtual printer, the method comprising: selecting a document to be printed; creating a print job for printing the document to be printed; creating, based on the print job, a data set representing the document to be printed in a format interpretable by the electronic paper with the virtual printer; transmitting the data set to the electronic paper; and displaying the document to be printed on the electronic paper based on the transmitted data set, so that the electronic paper is printed with the document to be printed by the virtual printer, wherein preferably the print job comprises a page description language or a printer language.

Systems and methods for generating group portraits using video chat systems are provided. A communications system can generate a group portrait that includes an image of two or more users. For example, a communications system can generate a group portrait that includes an image of each user participating in a video conference, and the group portrait may serve as a memento from the video conference.

A video presentation device is disclosed. The video presentation device comprises an electronic module including a microcontroller and a memory adapted for storing digital content, a communication link adapted to communicatively couple the electronic module with a host server, to receive multimedia digital content from the host server upon command from the host server, and a video display for playing the multimedia digital content upon command of the electronic module.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media creating and publishing customizable images from within online events are provided. A user may capture an image from an online event presented within a user interface. In response to capturing the image, a pop-up window may be displayed within the presented online event on the user interface. In some embodiments, the pop-up window may include one or more options for customizing or modifying a background of the capture image, as well as including one or more sharing options to publish the captured image.

A unified system of programming communication. The system encompasses the prior art (television, radio, broadcast hardcopy, computer communications, etc.) and new user specific mass media. Within the unified system, parallel processing computer systems, each having an input (e.g., 77) controlling a plurality of computers (e.g., 205), generate and output user information at receiver stations. Under broadcast control, local computers (73, 205), combine user information selectively into prior art communications to exhibit personalized mass media programming at video monitors (202), speakers (263), printers (221), etc. At intermediate transmission stations (e.g., cable television stations), signals in network broadcasts and from local inputs (74, 77, 97, 98) cause control processors (71) and computers (73) to selectively automate connection and operation of receivers (53), recorder/players (76), computers (73), generators (82), strippers (81), etc. At receiver stations, signals in received transmissions and from local inputs (225, 218, 22) cause control processors (200) and computers (205) to automate connection and operation of converters (201), tuners (215), decryptors (224), recorder/players (217), computers (205), furnaces (206), etc. Processors (71, 200) meter and monitor availability and usage of programming.

Systems and methods for printing a 3D object on a three-dimensional (3D) printer are described. The methods semi-automatically or automatically delineate an item in an image, receive a 3D model of the item, matches said item to said 3D model, and send the matched 3D model to a 3D printer.

A content managing method of a mobile device, a server, and a system is provided. According to the content managing method, when the mobile device enters into a specific region, the mobile device transmits location information of the location of the mobile device and device information of the mobile device to the server, and the server searches for and transmits content information corresponding to the location information to the mobile device. Accordingly, a user can receive the content information simply by entering into a specific location with the mobile device.
