  • Patent number: 11381680
    Abstract: Techniques are described that update a caller on call progress status using various effects based on a likelihood that the call will connect with the callee, and/or a likelihood that the caller will prematurely terminate the call. In some examples, a machine-learned model may determine a likelihood that a call will connect based on conditions associated with the callee. In some cases, a machine-learned model may determine a likelihood that a call will be prematurely terminated by the caller based on conditions associated with the caller. Animations, haptic outputs, sounds, and/or other content may be used to indicate likelihood of the call connecting to the caller.

  • Patent number: 10904481
    Abstract: The present application describes a new protocol for broadcasting and managing participation in virtual calls via a digital communication service, such as a social medial platform. The protocol allows broadcasting indications of virtual conversations between user accounts to other user accounts. In some embodiments, the indications may include invitations to join the virtual conversation. The protocol allows broadcasting and managing of virtual conversations between multiple devices via a real-time communication (RTC) channel. The protocol includes exchange messages to cooperatively establish the conversation, broadcast an indication of the conversation to at least one non-participating user, and/or manage a set of participants for the conversation.

  • Patent number: 8226415
    Abstract: There is a dish coding system configured to discreetly represent serving portions on a dish. The dish coding system includes a dish, configured to support food thereon; and a plurality of decorative indicia visibly disposed across a top portion of the dish. The plurality of decorative indicia does not include any overt indication of a relationship between a decorative indicia characteristic and intended portions to be disposed thereon. The plurality of decorative indicia includes an indicator disposed on the top surface of the dish, configured to differentiate food serving portions. The dish coding system also includes an index associated with the dish and including an overt indication of a relationship between decorative indicia characteristics and intended portions to be disposed thereon. The index is visibly displayed on a bottom surface of the dish. The dish may be selected from the group consisting of; plates, bowls, glasses, cookware, pots, pans, cups, and dishes.

  • Patent number: 6829191
    Abstract: A magnetic memory is disclosed. In one embodiment, the magnetic memory includes first and second memory cells and a read controller coupled to the first and second memory cells. An output controller coupled to the read controller and to the first and second memory cells, wherein the output controller is configured to receive read data in parallel only from the first or second memory cells which have completed the current read operation regardless of whether both the first and second memory cells have completed the current read operation and convert the parallel data to serial data and shift the parallel data to an output in synchronism with the system clock signal.
