Method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for viewing

Abstract

Presented are a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for viewing. An exemplary method includes capturing, by a user equipment (UE), an image of a work piece, and accessing, by the UE, a plurality of predetermined patterns, wherein the accessing includes receiving the plurality of predetermined patterns from a quilting machine. The method further includes combining, by the UE, the captured image with one of the plurality of predetermined patterns, wherein the one of the plurality of predetermined patterns overlays the captured image.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A method of viewing, the method comprising:
 (a) transmitting, by a quilting machine, a plurality of predetermined patterns to a server; 
 (b) capturing, by a user equipment, an image of a work piece; 
 (c) accessing, by the user equipment, the plurality of predetermined patterns on the server, wherein the accessing comprises receiving the plurality of predetermined patterns from the server; and 
 (d) combining, by the user equipment, the captured image with one of the plurality of predetermined patterns, wherein the one of the plurality of predetermined patterns overlays the captured image, wherein the user equipment is one of a mobile phone, smartphone and tablet. 
 
     
     
       2. The method according to  claim 1 , the method further comprising manipulating, by the user equipment, the one of the plurality of predetermined patterns. 
     
     
       3. The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the manipulating comprises resizing, cutting, and cropping. 
     
     
       4. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of predetermined patterns comprise licensed static quilting patterns. 
     
     
       5. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of predetermined patterns comprise a plurality of predetermined quilting patterns. 
     
     
       6. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the combining comprises overlaying one of the plurality of predetermined patterns over the captured image to scale. 
     
     
       7. The method according to  claim 1 , the method further comprising displaying the combined image. 
     
     
       8. A method of viewing, the method comprising:
 (a) transmitting, by a quilting machine, a plurality of predetermined patterns to a server; 
 (b) capturing, by a user equipment, an image of a work piece; 
 (c) accessing, by the user equipment, the plurality of predetermined patterns on the server, wherein the plurality of predetermined patterns comprise licensed static quilting patterns; and 
 (d) combining, by the user equipment, the captured image with one of the plurality of predetermined patterns, wherein the one of the plurality of predetermined patterns overlays the captured image, wherein the user equipment is one of a mobile phone, smartphone and tablet.
