  • Patent number: 11888953
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically adjusting notification frequency for a sporting event. During a sporting event, information related to the sporting event is received. A first level of interest of a user in the sporting event is determined. A performance metric of a competitor in the sporting event is determined. A second level of interest of the user in receiving notifications relating to the sporting event is generated as a function of the first level of interest and the performance metric. In response to determining that the second level of interest exceeds a notification frequency threshold, a notification is presented for the user that includes the information related to the sporting event when the information is received during the sporting event.

  • Patent number: 11784961
    Abstract: A method and corresponding system for improving an interaction process in a social network for a user with at least one other person is provided. The method comprises a step of, in a training phase, acquiring sensor data on at least a user state and interaction data on a social interaction of a human person with the at least one other person. The acquired sensor data and the interaction data is then analyzed in order to generate classifier data from the acquired sensor data and the acquired interaction data. In a subsequent application phase, the method acquires current sensor data on at least the user state of the at least one other person, predicts an interaction score for the user based on the acquired current sensor data and the classifier data, and generates an interaction identifier for the user for an interaction with the at least one other person in the social network based on the predicted interaction score.

  • Patent number: 11763397
    Abstract: A method and system for providing recipient recommendations to a user wishing to share content with a contact is provided. A message having the content along with a first contact is received from the user. Profiles from an entire social graph associated with the user and the first contact are searched to determine a shared attributed among both profiles. The shared attribute is used to search for a second contact to receive the content by searching for the shared attribute in a profile associated with the second contact. When a determination is made that the profile associated with the second contact has the shared attribute, the second contact is suggested as a recipient of the content.

  • Patent number: 11750537
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable storage media, and systems that generate digital content for users to access in a social networking platform and detect user interactions with such digital content as part of user-interaction evaluations to determine the users' digital media literacy. For instance, the disclosed systems receive a request to initiate a user-interaction evaluation in a social networking platform. In response to the request, the disclosed systems generate digital content (e.g., social networking posts from a digital media bot) as part of the user-interaction evaluation for users to access in the social networking platform. The disclosed systems further detect interactions by user accounts with the digital content within the social networking platform and then generate digital-media-proficiency metrics for the users based on the interactions.

  • Patent number: 11689633
    Abstract: Systems and methods for cross-domain tracking of users are disclosed. Embodiments provide mechanism for a unique identifier generated for a first domain (also referred to as a cross domain identifier) and stored at the user device to be made available to a second domain via a cross domain identifier system (XID system) such that the second domain can also use the same unique identifier for the user. This way, a user is identified at multiple domains of the organization using a single unique identifier. Further, in case a user identifier cannot be provided from the first domain to the second, the unique identifier can be created based on a fingerprint of the user's browser.

  • Patent number: 11677758
    Abstract: Techniques for minimizing data flow from a first computing infrastructure hosting an email service platform to a second computing infrastructure at least partly hosting an email security platform that provides security analysis on emails of the email service. The email security platform may extract metadata from emails received at the first computing infrastructure, and send that metadata to the second computing infrastructure that is hosting a back end of the email service platform. The metadata extracted from the emails may include less confidential contained in an email, but enough information for the email security platform to determine whether an email is potentially malicious. Thus, the security analysis performed on emails to detect malicious attacks may be offloaded to the second computing infrastructure, but the metadata that leaves the first computing infrastructure and flows to the second computing infrastructure may be minimized by extracting meaningful metadata.
