Problems solved by technology

However, a drawback with floor mats is the difficulty in customization and modification for a particular application, purchaser, product, or the like.
Previously, it was not known to provide a floor mat where an individual can customize the floor mat to display a particular message that they want to convey and in certain circumstances even change the floor mat's message they want to convey.

These methods also are limited in their ability to be customized and modified for a particular application, product, or purchaser.
