A method for providing an augmented reality service using an AR sticker comprises: a step where a mobile terminal requests, from a server, an AR sticker template enabling a user to edit an AR sticker, and the server transmits the AR sticker template; a step where the mobile terminal directly edits the AR sticker image using the AR sticker template and creates AR content corresponding to the AR sticker image; a step where the server receives the AR sticker image and the AR content from the mobile terminal and stores same in an AR database, and creates an AR sticker including the AR sticker image and the AR content; a step where the mobile terminal receives the AR sticker, transmits the AR sticker to a printer, and requests printing of the AR sticker; and a step where the printer prints the AR sticker and conveys the printed AR sticker.

STAINABLE SURFACE
20210009841 · 2021-01-14 · ·

The invention relates to a method for producing a color-changeable decorative surface. In order to provide a decorative surface that can be changed in a particularly simple manner in terms of its coloring by the end consumer and which is particularly cost-effective and resistant, it is provided that at least one layer of a coating agent, which enables the absorption of color particles, is applied.

STAINABLE DECORATIVE BOARD
20210010203 · 2021-01-14 · ·

The invention relates to a method for producing a synthetic resin surface or lacquered surface with a variable color, having the steps of providing a support layer with a lower face and an upper face, impregnating the support layer with a liquid impregnant without using a pickling additive and at least drying the impregnated support layer. The aim of the invention is to provide a decorative surface, the coloring of which by the end consumer can be modified in a particularly simple manner and which is particularly inexpensive and resistant. This is achieved in that a layer of coating agent is deposited on the upper face of the support layer and is dried, and the support layer is then connected to a material, wherein the layer is cured in order to form an open-pore layer which is at least as transparent as possible upon drying and/or connecting to the upper face.

MICROSPHERE ARTICLES AND TRANSFER ARTICLES

There is provided an article comprising at least a first surface having: (a) a first binder layer; (b) a plurality of transparent microspheres partially embedded in the first binder layer such that about 20% to about 70% of the average diameter of the transparent microspheres is exposed at the outermost surface of the article, wherein the transparent microspheres have refractive indices that are less than a refractive index of the first binder layer and wherein the plurality of transparent microspheres consist of microspheres having a refractive index of no more than 1.490. There is also provided a transfer article comprising: (a) a transfer carrier, the transfer carrier comprising: (i) a support layer; and (ii) a thermoplastic release layer bonded to the support layer; (b) a layer of a plurality of transparent microspheres, formed on a side of the thermoplastic transparent microsphere release layer opposite the support layer, wherein the plurality of transparent microspheres consist of microspheres having a refractive index of no more than 1.490.

Film Structure, Shell, and Electronic Device
20200404086 · 2020-12-24 ·

A film structure, a method for manufacturing the film structure, a shell, and an electronic device are disclosed. The film structure includes a first film assembly and a second film assembly. The first film assembly includes a first film and a texture layer stacked sequentially. The second film assembly includes a second film and a ribbon unit disposed on the second film. The second film assembly is laminated on the first film assembly. The ribbon unit is located adjacent to the first film, and an orthographic projection of the ribbon unit projected on a plane on which the texture layer is located falls in the texture layer.

Method for Applying a Polymeric Film to a Substrate and Resulting Articles
20200391493 · 2020-12-17 · ·

A polymeric film assembly comprising a first solidified interlayer on a polymeric film or laminate comprising the same that is contacted with at least a portion of a surface of an underlying article to provide, for example, desired surface characteristics. At least a portion of the first solidified interlayer becomes a softened interlayer positioned between the polymeric film and the surface of the article when contacted as such. The softened interlayer is then converted to a second solidified interlayer, which second solidified interlayer may be in a different form than or same form as the first solidified interlayer initially provided, for adherence of the polymeric film to at least the portion of the surface of the article. Ease of removal and/or repair of polymeric film and laminates comprising the polymeric film that are so applied is facilitated.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL DECORATIVE PIECE MADE OF THERMOPLASTIC SYNTHETIC RESIN AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
20200384797 · 2020-12-10 · ·

A three-dimensional decorative piece made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin is produced by subjecting, to high-frequency dielectric heating, a decorative piece material that includes an upper layer that includes a thermoplastic synthetic resin film having a vapor-deposited metal layer, an intermediate layer that includes a thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet, and a lower layer that includes a thermal bonding film, the decorative piece including: a first printing layer printed using a transparent color ink, a matte ink, or a glossy ink, as an upper surface of the upper layer; and a second printing layer in which a fine line is printed using a transparent UV ink, on an upper surface of the first printing layer. It is desirable that the fine line of the second printing layer has a width of 0.1 mm to 0.25 mm.

Layered Removable Graffiti Skin
20200361179 · 2020-11-19 ·

Improvements in a graffiti covering skin are disclosed the covering skin is formed from multiple layers of transparent or filtering layers that can be individually removed to provide a new layer without graffiti or damage. Each layer of the skin provides different functions to provide a material that covers existing graffiti and creates a new surface that reduces or repels future graffiti from being placed on the original host surface. One of the layers can be a visual pattern layer that provides the desired appearance of a hard surface of stainless steel, mirror, wood, color, marble, granite or light filtering. This layer provides a structural rigidity that maintains dimensional stability. The skin is backed with a removable adhesive that is removed from the host surface without leaving a residue. Each skin is measured and cut to the desired size before placement in a host surface.
