Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and system for defining a package uses a graph representation of the package to create and implement a package generation rule set. The graph representation uses links and nodes to represent the relationships between various facet, edges and functional elements of the package.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method, comprising, by a processor: generating a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional package by: identifying a first plurality of package facets, wherein each facet in the first plurality comprises a face having edges; for each of the edges, identifying a connecting relationship between the edge's face and a different one of the faces; based on the connecting relationships, identifying an additional plurality of package facets,…
