Patent granted for computer implemented method to identify element overlaps
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11972196B1) discloses a computer-implemented method for identifying undesirable collisions in a set of elements. The method involves accessing data describing original elements with bounding boxes, processing these elements to identify overlaps, accessing data on updated elements with updated bounding boxes, and identifying collisions based on overlaps between updated elements. The method further includes determining expansion directions, penetration distances, and resizing bounding boxes to resolve collisions. The patent also covers scenarios where collisions are caused by a single element or jointly by multiple elements, providing a comprehensive approach to collision detection and resolution in a computer system.
Additionally, the patent extends to a computer processing system that implements the method described above. The system includes processing units and computer-readable storage media storing instructions for identifying undesirable collisions in sets of original and updated elements. By determining current element overlaps, checking containment within bounding boxes, and analyzing pre-existing overlaps, the system can effectively identify and resolve collisions. The method outlined in the patent aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of collision detection in computer systems, particularly in scenarios involving text type elements. This innovation in collision resolution algorithms can potentially improve the user experience and performance of applications that involve complex element interactions and layouts.
