Publication number: 20240086578Abstract: A network system is provided that enables a user to record media in connection with a user operating a service application to participate in a transport service. In examples, the network system includes a user computing device on which media is recorded and stored in an unrenderable state. The user can elect to make a media recording submission for a particular service activity (e.g., trip provided or received by user). In response to the media recording submission, the user computing device identifies one or more media files that contain media data which depict the service activity. The identified media files are transmitted to a service computing system where the media files can be rendered.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Shobhit Gupta, Mikhail Bosin, Neil Chopra, Garrick Buckley, Emmanuelle Soni, Dhaval Shah

Publication number: 20230262082Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for automatically predicting a risk score of a user login attempt by receiving a user login attempt and generating a login feature vector associated with the user login attempt. The systems and methods further train a machine learning technique to establish a relationship between the login feature vector and the risk score. The trained machine learning technique is applied to new user login attempts to predict a risk score associated with the login attempt and issue an authentication challenge to the user if the risk score exceeds a predetermined threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Neil Shah, Mingyi Zhao, Yu-Hsin Chen

Publication number: 20220198510Abstract: A processor collecting advertisement (ad) events of a user using a mobile device, such as a mobile phone or eyewear, parsing the ad events from the mobile device, and generating an ad receptivity profile on the granularity of a user identification (ID) and an hour of day. In one example, the processor computes the percentage of ad time watched by the individual user, such as on an hourly basis, and by monitoring a click-through rate (CTR) of the respective user as a measure for user ad receptivity. The processor adjusts an ad allocation/ad load on a per user basis according the user level ad receptivity profile, resulting in dynamically providing ads on the mobile device display when a user is active and receptive viewing the ads.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2020Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Maarten Bos, Farhan Asif Chowdhury, Yozen Liu, Leonardo Ribas Machado das Neves, Koustuv Saha, Neil Shah, Nicholas Vincent

Publication number: 20220198511Abstract: A processor having a performance engine tracking user engagement of advertisement (ad) events using a mobile device, such as a mobile phone or eyewear, to generate a user level ad receptivity profile. In one example, the processor tracks both the percentage of ad time watched by the individual user, such as on an hourly basis, and ad engagement such as by monitoring a click-through rate (CTR) of the respective user as a measure for user ad receptivity. The processor downloads data from the performance engine to a server processor, and the server processor adjusts an ad allocation/ad load on a per user basis according the user level ad receptivity profile. The server processor dynamically provides ads on the mobile device display when a user is active and receptive viewing the ads.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2020Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Maarten Bos, Farhan Asif Chowdhury, Yozen Liu, Leonardo Ribas Machado das Neves, Koustuv Saha, Neil Shah, Nicholas Vincent
