摘要:
The present invention is an improved method for automatically generating chain stitching in a computer aided design system in which the shape to be filled is a complex polygon. The medial axis of the polygon is determined, concentric polygons are then constructed and sorted and the chain stitches are placed on the perimeter of the concentric polygons. The chain stitches can be used to completely fill a stitch pattern, such as an embroidery stitch pattern, or in conjunction with other stitching, such as chenille stitching in an embroidery pattern.
摘要:
An embroidery system having an embroidery machine for automatically stitching embroidery stitch patterns on a garment and a machine controller for selectably controlling the operation of the embroidery machine in response to user provided selections, the improvement involves the use of a Windows CE based graphical user interface, such as a PDA, which is located between the user and the machine controller to provide user selections through the graphical user interface for directing the machine controller. The embroidery system has an associated embroidery functionality and the graphical user interface has a defined system architecture which may selectably enhance the embroidery system functionality by selectably adding software modules to the graphical user interface, such as to control the creation of embroidery lettering, to provide maintenance monitoring either locally or over the Internet, or to enable communication with the embroidery machine over a network.

The present invention is an improved method for automatically generating chenille filled embroidery stitch patterns and/or chain stitching in a computer aided design system in which the shape to be filled is a complex polygon. The medial axis of the polygon is determined, concentric polygons are then constructed and sorted and spirals are placed along the polygons with stitches being placed along the spirals. For chain stitching, rather than placing spirals, the chain stitches are placed on the perimeter of the concentric polygons.

A method and system of remotely communicating embroidery pattern data to embroidery machines involving providing an embroidery pattern in response to a pattern selection input from a remote user at a local node, the input communicated through a communications connection between the local node and a server, receiving an identification address for an embroidery machine, communicating the embroidery pattern to the embroidery machine for application of the embroidery pattern to a work piece. The system includes a server having circuitry for receiving wireless electronic communications, a local node having a graphical user interface for receiving input from a remote user, the local node in wireless electronic communication with the server, a database of electronically encoded data, the data comprising embroidery patterns, the database in communication with the server, and responsive to the local node input, to retrieve embroidery patterns and to display the embroidery patterns through the server to the remote user, and an embroidery machine in communication with the server, the embroidery machine receiving embroidery patterns from the database through the server.
摘要:
A method of filling a defined embroidery pattern shape, with the shape comprising a curve defining the shape, fills the pattern shape with a plurality of turning satin-like embroidery stitches which turn to follow the defined shape. In carrying out the method, the density inset for the next adjacent satin-like embroidery stitch is dynamically varied in accordance with any change in the defined shape from the previous stitch, taking into account the stitch length and stitch angle. The process is iteratively repeated , using the predefined perpendicular distance from the previous stitch end point to the new stitch end point until the defined shape is completely filled.
摘要:
The present invention is an improved method for automatically generating chenille filled embroidery stitch patterns and/or claim stitching in a computer aided design system in which the shape to be filled is a complex polygon. Concentric polygons are constructed, such as either by using the medial axis of the polygon or by constructing offset elements and joining arcs without use of the medial axis, and sorted, and spirals are placed along the polygons with stitches being placed along the spirals. For chain stitching, rather than placing spirals, the chain stitches are placed on the perimeter of the concentric polygons.
摘要:
A web based embroidery system capable of creating an automatically fulfilling a user customized embroidery order for a selectable garment over the internet. The system includes the ability to select the garment to be customized over the internet, to selectably locate an embroidery area on that garment, to select a customized embroidery pattern over the internet to be located in the user selected embroidery area, the ability to display an embroided simulation of the user located customized embroidery pattern on the selected garment, and the ability to provide embroidery pattern controlled signals over the internet to a remotely located embroidery machine for automatically stitching the user located customized embroidery pattern on an actual garment corresponding to the selected garment based on the displayed embroided simulation, which maybe a three dimensional simulation. In addition, customized embroidery lettering can be created and may be combined with a preexisting embroidery pattern. Furthermore, on-line editing may be employed as well as individual colorizing by the user. This can be accomplished on customized web sites as well as templated websites. In addition, a system is enclosed which permits autodigitizing of user generated images over the internet which may be automatically converted into embroidery patterns, cost estimates based thereon and, after confirmation by the user, used to automatically generate embroidery patterns on actual garments.

The present invention is an improved method for automatically generating chain stitching in a computer aided design system in which the shape to be filled is a complex polygon. The Voronoi Diagram of the polygon is determined, concentric polygons are then constructed and sorted and the chain stitches are placed on the perimeter of the concentric polygons. The chain stitches can be used to completely fill a stitch pattern, such as an embroidery stitch pattern, or in conjunction with other stitching, such as Chenille stitching in an embroidery pattern.

An improved method for automatically generating chenille filled embroidery stitch patterns and/or chain stitching in a computer aided design system in which the shape to be filled is a complex polygon. A spine of a medial axis of the Voronoi Diagram of the polygon is determined, modified concentric polygons are then constructed by clipping the edges of the concentric polygons that are within a clip width of the spine, the modified concentric polygons are then sorted and spirals are placed along the modified polygons with stitches being placed along the spirals, with the occurrence of any bald spots in the shape being filled being minimized. For chain stitching, rather than placing spirals, the chain stitches are placed on the perimeter of the concentric polygons.
摘要:
A method for creating a self-generating embroidery design pattern, which may be provided alone or merged with an existing pattern comprising the steps of defining a predetermined fractal shape having an associated axiom and production rules; parsing the axiom and production rules associated with the defined fractal shape and performing the production rules a selectable predetermined number of times for providing a plurality of stitch or outline points in accordance with a desired finished embroidery design pattern size, the stitch points being in either an outline data format or a stitch data format; converting the outline data format into a stitch data format; and translating the stitch data format into a predetermined embroidery language machine code for controlling an associated embroidery machine responsive to the predetermined embroidery language machine code.
