Patent number: 10108274Abstract: A user of a computing device may view an initial content item in a landscape orientation on a display of a computing device. When the user rotates the computing device, supplemental content may be presented in a portrait orientation on the display of the computing device. The supplemental content may include virtually any information in which the user may be interested and/or that is related or similar to the content item. Accordingly, rather than presenting such supplemental content upon an affirmative request or search by the user, the supplemental content is presented to the user automatically when the user rotates the computing device from a landscape position to a portrait position or vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2017Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Nanyan Nicholls, Samuel P.

Publication number: 20130030853Abstract: A personal computing device user may see an item of interest. The user captures data (e.g., a digital image, an audio recording, etc.) of the item of interest (e.g., anything user can see, hear or touch) and submits the captured data to a the memory enhancement service. The memory enhancement service submits the captured data to a human interaction task system for enhancement. The human interaction task system distributes the captured data to one or more human workers to identify the subject of the captured data, determine the user's interest in the item subject of the captured data, and provide information regarding the item that may be relevant to the user based on the determined interest. The enhanced data returned from the human interaction task system is stored by the memory enhancement service for subsequent recall by the user and possible use by the user or others.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Inventors: Amit D.

Publication number: 20090182622Abstract: A user of a personal computing device may see an item that interests him or her and would like to remember the item for future reference. The user captures data (e.g., a digital image, an audio recording, etc.) of the item of interest (e.g., anything user can see, hear or touch) and submits the captured data to the memory enhancement service for enhancement and storage. The memory enhancement service submits the captured data to a human interaction task system for enhancement. More specifically, the human interaction task system distributes the captured data to one or more human workers to identify the item subject of the captured data, determine the user's interest in the item subject of the captured data, and provide information regarding the item that may be relevant to the user based on this determined interest. The enhanced data returned from the human interaction task system is then stored by the memory enhancement service for subsequent recall by the user and possible use by the user or others.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2008Publication date: July 16, 2009Inventors: Amit D.
