Presenting an image of assembled components

摘要

A ring design machine receives one or more selections of gemstones and one or more selections of settings and allows a user to “mix and match” gemstones and settings and view a selected gemstone in a compatible setting for that gemstone. To present the gemstone in the setting, the ring design machine presents a combination image that depicts the gemstone in the setting. The ring design machine, which may be implemented using a computer programmed by software, may present the combination image to the user in response to receiving a selection of the gemstone and a selection of the setting from the user via a network.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving compatibility information from a seller machine that stores information about a plurality of first components, the compatibility information being usable to determine that each of the first components is combinable with a second component selectable from a plurality of second components; receiving a first selection from a client machine of a user, the first selection indicating that the second component is selected by the user from the plurality of second components; determining that each one among a subset of the plurality of the first components is combinable with the second component selected by the user, the determining being based on the compatibility information received from the seller machine; receiving a second selection from the client machine, the second selection indicating that a first component among the subset of the plurality of first components is selected by the user; and causing the client machine to display a combination image that depicts an assembly that combines the first component selected by the user with the second component selected by the user, the causing being performed by a processor of a machine.
