Patent number: 10726502Abstract: A system may include a profile module and a network interface module. The profile module may be configured to generate a first profile of a user of a social network based, at least in part, on first characteristics related to the user and a second profile of the user based, at least in part, on second characteristics related to the user, at least one of the first plurality of characteristics being the same as at least one of the second characteristics and at least one of the first characteristics being different from at least one of the second characteristics. The network interface module may be configured to transmit the first profile to a device of a third party based on the third party meeting a first criterion and the second profile to a device of the third party based on the third party meeting a second criterion.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2012Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Manish Mohan Sharma, Jonathan Redfern, Jayant Sai

Patent number: 10122774Abstract: Techniques for enabling members that have interacted physically to interact thereafter via an online social networking service are described. According to various embodiments, it is determined that a first member and a second member of an online social networking service physically interacted at an interaction location at an interaction time, and a specific time interval commencing at the interaction time is calculated. Thereafter, an ephemeral prompt is displayed to the first member, during the specific time interval, indicating that the first member physically interacted with the second member, and inviting the first member to message the second member via the online social networking service. The ephemeral prompt is prevented from being displayed subsequent to expiration of the specific time interval.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Pradeepta Dash, Elizabeth Ethel Burstein, Nash Raghavan, Mark Hull, Gaganpreet Singh Shah, Jayant Sai

Patent number: 9087455Abstract: Map interactivity for a visually-impaired user is provided. A map is displayed on a display module of a device and a grid is overlaid onto the displayed map using a rendering module. Each cell of the grill corresponds to a location on the map. Further, a user selection is received using the input module concerning a cell of the grid from the displayed map. Information associated with a selected cell is retrieved using the location module within the device and a speech segment relating to the information is output using an output module.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2011Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: YAHOO! INC.Inventors: Jayant Sai, Victor Tsaran

Patent number: 9009249Abstract: Described herein are a system and method for delivering content to a mobile computing device, where the content is selected for presentation to a member of a social network service based on the current geo-location of the member (device) and one or more associations and/or relationships between entities represented in a social graph of the social network service. A particular embodiment includes providing, by use of a data processor, a user interface to notify a member of a social network service of his or her proximity to another entity that is represented in the social graph of the social network service. In some embodiments, in response to determining that a member is in geographical proximity of a company that has a presence in the social graph of the social network service, a job recommendation/matching engine may cause information to be presented relating to a job listing posted to a job listing service by an authorized representative of the company.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: LinkedIn CorporationInventors: Joff Redfern, Jayant Sai

Publication number: 20140149519Abstract: A system may include a processor and a network interface. The processor may be configured to set a meeting room status of a meeting room over a selected time period to unavailable based on a meeting organizer specifying the time period and an attendee of a meeting, obtain a location status of the attendee during the selected time period, and change the meeting room status to reserved but not occupied based on the location status of the attendee being not in proximity of the meeting room. The network interface may be configured to transmit the meeting room status to a user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2012Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: Linkedln CorporationInventors: Joff Redfern, Jayant Sai
