Patent number: 11842150Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering cross-site auto-play media are described herein. The server can receive, from a client device, a request for media content at a first domain embedded in a content element from a second domain. The request can include an identifier indicating that the client device is configured to restrict cross-domain redirection. The server can determine, responsive to identifying the identifier indicating that the client device is configured to restrict cross-domain redirection, that the request comprises a content type header having a first predetermined value. The server can generate, responsive to the determination, a response comprising the media content element in a body of the response. The server can transmit the response to the client device. Receipt of the response can cause the client device to extract the media content element from the body of the response and to render the media content element.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Murtaza Halai, Lloyd Thompson, Brian Mulford, Armen Mkrtchyan

Patent number: 11579766Abstract: A computing device can receive an interactive advertisement comprising a first content object and a second content object. The computing device can display the first content object corresponding to a collapsed version of the interactive advertisement. The computing device can receive a first action to activate the interactive advertisement. The computing device can provide for display, responsive to receiving the first action, a target object identifying a location on the display screen to which to move the first content object. The computing device can receive a second action to move the first content object towards the target object. The computing device can then provide for display, the second content object corresponding to an expanded version of the interactive ad on the display screen of the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Brian Scot Cohen, Lloyd Dee Thompson, Armen Mkrtchyan

Patent number: 9671858Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes detecting, using a processor, user input through a camera lens. The method further includes determining, using the processor, that an identity of a user, selected from identities of at least two users, is associated with the user input. The method also includes tracking, using the processor, a local interaction between the at least two users based on at least the identity, the user input, and stored rules that govern the local interaction. The tracking can include determining whether the user has complied with the stored rules that govern the local interaction. Furthermore, the local interaction can include a multiplayer game.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2014Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Lanny Smoot, Armen Mkrtchyan, Leonard J.

Patent number: 9517404Abstract: Exemplary implementations may facilitate modifications to characters and/or virtual items within a virtual space, or to the virtual space itself, made responsive to detection of a token. In some implementations, a physical accessory may depict a character in the virtual space. By way of non-limiting example, the physical accessory may include a toy figurine resembling the character. A detectable token (i.e., a physical object) may be removably attached to the physical accessory. According to some implementations, responsive to the physical accessory being detected along with the removably attached token, a modification within the virtual space may be made to the character and/or a virtual item associated with the character. In some implementations, detection of the token alone may effectuate such a modification.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2012Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: John G. Vignocchi, Jieun Kim, Afsoun Yazdian, Armen Mkrtchyan, Robert Nelson, Tracy Thurman, Jeffrey Bunker, John Blackburn
