System for creating on a computer display screen composite images from diverse sources

摘要

An interactive user/server system wherein a user with a computer and a display screen an Internet connection through a browser can create in real time a composite image of graphical images, shapes and text capable of being outputted for high quality printing on an end product such as a sticker. The user will download selected graphical images and shapes from the server and resize and reposition them within a predetermined canvas area of his display screen to build up the image, and the user can add his own uploaded graphical images to the composite image being created if desired. The programming for all of the operations is downloaded to the user from the server through an applet, and the complete composite image created will be stored at the server in its component parts so that it can readily be assembled in high resolution form for outputting to a printer.
