Patent number: 11216861Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating social networking recommendations. A color preference of a first user may be determined from a color palette of a first image associated with the user and/or a color palette of an item associated with the user. Other users may be identified that have a similar color preference as the first user based at least in part on the determined color preference of the first user. Interactions between the first user and one or more other users having similar color preferences with respect to the first user may be facilitated. A social networking recommendation may be generated with respect to the one or more other users having similar color preferences with respect to the first user.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2018Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Amason Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Charles Shearer Dorner, Jenny Ann Blackburn, Robert Yuji Haitani, Eva Manolis, Timothy Andrew Ong, Gonzalo Alberto Ramos, Paul Barnhart Sayre, III

Patent number: 10831819Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for associating colors or color names with a color image based on hue. A set of hue values can be extracted from color data, such as a color palette, corresponding to a color image. A representative hue can be derived from the set of hue values. Colors included in the color data that are attributable to the representative hue can be identified and one or more colors can be derived therefrom as representative of a subject depicted by the color image. Color names matching the representative colors can be identified and associated with the color image. In particular, a common color name can be determined therefrom and associated with the subject of the color image.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Charles Shearer Dorner, Jenny Ann Blackburn, Eva Manolis, Timothy Andrew Ong, Paul Barnhart Sayre, III

Patent number: 10242396Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating color-related item recommendations using color palette information. A request may be received from a user for a color-related item recommendation. The request may include an input image and one or more item attributes. Based at least in part on an analysis of the input image to identify affiliated colors to the input image and the one or more item attributes, one or more items corresponding to the affiliated colors and the one or more item attributes are identified. Where there is more than one identified item, a ranking for the identified plurality of items may be generated. Item recommendations comprising at least a portion of the identified plurality of items in accordance with the generated ranking may be provided for presentation on a user device.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2018Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Charles Shearer Dorner, Jenny Ann Blackburn, Robert Yuji Haitani, Eva Manolis, Timothy Andrew Ong

Patent number: 10223427Abstract: Systems and methods are described to generate a color palette with color combinations based on human color preferences. One or more input colors can be used to determine affiliated colors based on the presence of colors in color palettes that have been voted on and/or ranked by a community of users. Each affiliated color can be weighted, normalized, and ordered based at least in part on the level of preference for the color palette to which it belongs and the relative popularity of the input colors. A color from the ordered affiliated colors can be selected and added to the custom palette of colors. With the addition of a color, the ordered affiliated colors can be updated to further present colors for inclusion in the custom color palette.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2014Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Charles Shearer Dorner, Jenny Ann Blackburn, Eva Manolis, Timothy Andrew Ong, Paul Barnhart Sayre, III

Patent number: 10146887Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing separate views for items. A network page providing a summary view of at least a portion of a pool of items is encoded in a computing resource for rendering by a client computing device. A window superimposed over at least a portion of the summary view is rendered by the client computing device. The summary view is deemphasized relative to the window that is superimposed. The window provides a separate view for examination of one item from the pool of items, and the window facilitates a serial examination of the pool of items.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2015Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Amy Bates, Sean M.

Patent number: 10026176Abstract: Features are disclosed for an automatic segmentation and alignment of images for display via an interface. The images may have different scales and lengths. As such, items shown in the images, such as clothing, may not be depicted in a uniform way. Segmentation of the images into image portions where a portion of an image shows a specific item is described. The segmentation may be achieved using models and/or complex image analysis. To provide a realistic view of the subject when image segments are presented together on an interface, additional alignment of the image segments may be performed. The alignment may be achieved using models and/or complex image analysis.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2016Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Adrian Hugh Davidson, Charles Shearer Dorner, Douglas J.
