  • Patent number: 11995609
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a processing device receives a first digital fingerprint of a media item along with a first content management rule. The processing device separately receives a second digital fingerprint of the media item along with a second content management rule. The processing device determines that the received digital fingerprints are for the same media item based upon a match between the first digital fingerprint and the second digital fingerprint. The processing device determines that all rights to the media item have been accounted for, and then determines a set of actions to be performed for hosted media items comprising the media item based at least in part upon the first content management rule and the second content management rule. Processing logic may also perform a conflict resolution process for conflicting rights claims to the media item.

  • Patent number: 11550768
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for an improved database. The systems, methods, and computer-readable media described herein may enhance the response time of databases and improve user experiences. In an example method described herein, a database monitoring system may receive instructions to perform one or more data monitoring operations comprising counting an occurrence of a first value within at least a portion of items stored in a database. The method may include determining a length of a first window of time and fetching, from a first location of a data store of the database, data indicative of a total count of the occurrence of the first value at a time associated with the beginning of the first window of time. In turn, the monitoring system may store data representing the first count in the first memory.

  • Patent number: 10459918
    Abstract: Techniques for improving efficiency of data processing associated with data queries are described. For example, a computer system may access a first query result of a first time window that result may have been generated based on first transformed data stored in data partitions associated with the first time window. The computer system may access data corresponding to a time unit that falls outside of the first time window and inside a second time window. The first time window and the second time window may have overlapping time units. The computer system may generate a data partition that corresponds to the time unit and that stores second transformed data. The second transformed data may correspond to a data transformation of the data. The computer system may generate a second query result for the second time window based on the second transformed data and the first query result.

  • Patent number: 10445807
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to, in part, providing customers with an enhanced shopping experience during a visit to a physical store location. The enhanced shopping experience may include providing the customer with customized delivery of product information. The product information may include demonstrations of product use, samples of products, recommendations of related products or areas of interest to a customer, etc. To provide the customized information, the customer may register to be identified while at the physical store location. The physical store location may include sensors that identify a location of the registered customer. A presentation module may then push relevant content to a device located near the customer, possibly in response to a request from the customer and/or a location of the customer.

  • Patent number: 9959551
    Abstract: Techniques for providing a messaging plan may be provided. A message that conforms to a channel agnostic format may be received. In an example, a messaging plan that includes a channel for delivering the message may be determined based at least in part on a score determined by a machine learning module utilizing metrics of a user. The message may be provided to the user according to the messaging plan. The messaging plan may be updated for subsequent messages based at least in part on updated metrics of the user received in response to the user interacting with the message.
