Patent number: 11430020Abstract: Techniques for determining a metric for an item that represents a condition of the item are described herein. For example, a request for a metric determination for an item may be received where the request is associated with a user identifier. Browsing history information and purchase history information from a website may be obtained based at least in part on the user identifier. The browsing history information and the purchase history information may be filtered to obtain a data set based at least in part on a plurality of item categories associated with items included in the browsing history information and the purchase history information. A metric for the item may be determined based at least in part on the data set and a base metric for the item.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ashish Chauhan, Salil Joshi, John Martin Miller

Patent number: 11176210Abstract: Techniques for improving dynamic content retrieval are described. In an example, a system may receive a request for content. The request may be associated with an access by a computing device to a network document. The system may determine a context associated with the network document based on the request. The content may be pre-computed based on historical accesses to a network resource. The system may determine a match between the context and a pre-computed context that is associated with content and may select the content from a set of candidate content based on an intent description of a content provider and historical behavior data of visitors to the network resource. The intent description may be associated with a presentation of the content at the network resource. The system may provide an identifier of the content. The identifier may be usable to present the content at the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Martin Miller, Anuj Chadha, Anthony Crider

Patent number: 11023554Abstract: Techniques for improving dynamic content retrieval are described. In an example, a computer system may receive, from a content provider device, an intent description associated with providing content at a network resource. The computer system may determine a goal and a predicate based on the intent description and may select a workflow from a plurality of workflows based on the goal and the predicate. The workflow may be associated with determining a context of a network document based on historical behavior data of visitors to the network resource and on a taxonomy of the network resource. The computer system may determine the context based on an execution of the workflow, the historical behavior data, and the taxonomy. The computer system may store an association between the context and the content. The association may be usable to select the content for presentation in a network document of the network resource.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Martin Miller, Anuj Chadha, Anthony Crider

Patent number: 10979535Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for decoupled selection of content for semi-connected electronic devices. In one embodiment, an example method may include determining a set of candidate content for presentation at a semi-connected device, the set of candidate content comprising first content and second content of at least one content campaign, determining that an impression of the first content was served while the semi-connected device was disconnected from a network, determining that the first content and the second content were eligible for presentation at a first timestamp of a first impression interaction for the impression of the first content, determining a first bid amount for the first content and a second bid amount for the second content at a second timestamp of delivery of the first content to the semi-connected device, and determining a winning bid amount for the first impression interaction using the first bid amount and the second bid amount.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2017Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Martin Miller, Deep Desai, Lucas Jacobs, Michael Lee Loritsch, Abhijeet More, Ross Tucker

Patent number: 10714081Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for dynamic voice assistant interaction. Example methods may include receiving first voice data, determining a first meaning of the first voice data, conducting an auction for an audio segment to present in response to the first voice data, wherein the auction is based at least in part on the first meaning, and determining a first audio response for presentation via a speaker in response to the first voice data.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2016Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Martin Miller, Michael Lee Loritsch, Ross Tucker

Patent number: 10534832Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting, storing, and displaying content items are provided, in which complex content selection logic is performed at a content provider environment (i.e., server-side) and selected content items are transmitted to and stored locally at a client device. Thus, the client device can quickly load a content item for display when a content display opportunity occurs, rotating through the stored content items with relatively simple logic. The client device may transmit a request to the content provider for more content if the amount of available content items is below a threshold. The content provider then runs content selection logic designated for the specific client device and selects one or more new content items to transmit to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2017Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: John Martin Miller, Michael Lee Loritsch

Patent number: 10110675Abstract: Delivery of directed content to semi-connected devices is provided. In some embodiments, content packages configured to be presented at a semi-connected device can be partitioned into alternative content packages. The alternative content packages are seamless to a publisher of the content packages and that permits backward compatibility with existing technology. Configuration of presentation attributes of the alternative content packages can be accomplished via rules that contemplate several delivery factors, such as publisher of the content package; type of the content package; type of the semi-connected device; and/or a model of such a device. Application of such rules for a content package can result in customized metadata that controls presentation of a media asset associated with the content package.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Martin Miller, Amit Vasant Kulkarni, Michael John Liddell, Michael Lee Loritsch, Eli Harlan Pinkerton, Sapan Purohit, Timothy Bradford Shoaf, Shawn Paul Smith, Runhe Tian, Ross Tucker
