Patent number: 11513658Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing a custom query of a media universe database. A plurality of content items are generated based at least in part on a media universe database. The media universe database is configured to store a plurality of elements of media universe content related to a media universe. The content items are sent to a client. From the client is received input indicating a combination of the content items. The combination comprises a selection of two or more of the content items. The media universe database is queried for additional content relevant to the two or more of the content items in the combination. The additional content is sent to the client.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Erik Jacob Olsen, Christian Robert Cabanero, Pilarina Estrada, Matthew George Bell

Patent number: 10970843Abstract: A media universe database is configured to store a plurality of elements of media universe content related to a media universe. An analysis of a digital video is performed. Based at least in part on the analysis, a correspondence is determined between one or more objects in the digital video and respective elements of the media universe content. An interactive digital video is generated based on the digital video. The interactive digital video comprises a plurality of video frames including one or more interactive video frames. The one or more interactive video frames comprise one or more interactive objects corresponding to the elements of media universe content.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Erik Jacob Olsen, Christian Robert Cabanero, Pilarina Estrada, Matthew George Bell

Patent number: 10951668Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating a location-based community. A location of a client device is identified, as are point of interest in proximity to the location. Questions pertaining to a point of interest can be presented on the client device. A newly submitted question can be routed to other users who may be in the same or similar location or have an expertise in a particular subject matter area related to the question.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2016Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventor: Christian Robert Cabanero

Patent number: 10719192Abstract: A media universe (MU) system may leverage network-based resources to store and maintain a database of content for a world encompassed by the media universe. One or more layers of content including a client layer may be overlaid on a base or canonical layer of content in the MU database to enable an immersive client experience within the media universe. Clients may participate within the media universe via the MU system, for example to create customized digital assets. Client-generated content or other content may be dynamically integrated into digital media based within the media universe, for example by leveraging the repository to store and access the client-generated content, and network-based computing resources to dynamically insert the content into digital media for streaming to the clients. Client-generated content may be promoted to intermediate layers and/or to canon within the MU database, for example by community voting, popularity, and so on.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christian Robert Cabanero, Matthew James Van Gorder, Thomas Richard Leonard, Eric Stephen Nylund, Adam C. F. MacDonald

Patent number: 10564820Abstract: A media universe system may leverage network-based computation resources and services, for example a streaming service, and a digital asset repository or repository service to dynamically provide active content in digital media of the media universe streamed to the client. An asset repository may contain digital assets including 3D models of objects and characters used in the digital media. Client interactions with digital media via a client interface may be mapped to particular objects, characters, locations, etc. within the media universe according to the digital assets from the repository. Most or all content within a rendered scene streamed to a client device may be rendered as active content. Clients may interact with the active content to, for example, obtain contextual information about the corresponding objects, manipulate and explore objects, discover hidden content, reveal hidden storylines, order merchandise (e.g., via 3D printing) related to the content, etc.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christian Robert Cabanero, Matthew James Van Gorder, Thomas Richard Leonard, Eric Stephen Nylund, Adam C.

Patent number: 10506003Abstract: A media universe system may provide digital media content to clients via methods and apparatus that provide interactive and immersive viewing experiences to the clients. A repository service may store digital assets for the media universe and maintain an asset tracking database that may track how the digital assets of the media universe relate to one another over time within a world encompassed by the media universe. The repository service may also maintain mappings between the digital assets and other content of the media universe. The repository service may serve as a centralized continuity database for the world and the media universe. Providing an accessible, scalable, network-based location for the continuity database may enable developers to build interactive experiences for users to explore the world of the media universe, both spatially and temporally.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christian Robert Cabanero, Matthew James Van Gorder, Thomas Richard Leonard, Eric Stephen Nylund, Adam C. F. MacDonald, Ashraf Alkarmi, Collin Charles Davis, Michael Anthony Frazzini, Gerard Joseph Heinz, II, Michael Schleif Pesce

Patent number: 10217185Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing interactive and customized experiences to clients of a media universe (MU) system. The MU system may leverage network-based computation resources and services, for example a streaming service, and a digital asset repository or repository service to dynamically provide customized and customizable experiences to clients. Clients may create or modify digital assets (e.g., 3D models of characters, objects, etc.), which may be stored to the asset repository. The MU system may dynamically render digital media content of the media universe (e.g., movies, games, etc.) that includes the clients' custom digital assets (characters, objects, backgrounds, etc.) inserted into appropriate locations, and stream the dynamically customized content to respective client devices. Effectively, a client layer of content is overlaid on a base or canonical layer of content within digital media of the media universe.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christian Robert Cabanero, Matthew James Van Gorder, Thomas Richard Leonard, Eric Stephen Nylund, Adam C.

Patent number: 9292667Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating a location based community. A location associated with a user is identified, as are point of interest in proximity to the location. A question can be received from a user that is related to a point of interest, which can be routed to other users who may be in the same or similar location or have an expertise in a particular subject matter area related to the question.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2010Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Christian Robert Cabanero
