Patent number: 11212198Abstract: A server computer receives configuration data from a first user of a first user device and establishes an interaction limit for the first user based on the configuration data. The server computer subsequently receives a request message from a second user device of a second user that includes parameters, including a request for services. The server computer selects the first user from a plurality of users based on the parameters and the configuration data from the first user. The server computer transmits a quote message to the second user device indicating the selection of the first user and including a quote. When the server computer receives an indication of a response message from the second user device, the server computer processes the response message and determines if the response message is indicative of an interaction type that requires modifying a first user account associated with the first user.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: THUMBTACK, INC.Inventors: Denys Kopiychenko, Muxing Chen, Scott Zuccarino, Jeffrey Lock, Zhenyu Liu, Tracy Livengood, Samuel Joseph Finegold, Jason Kim, Allan Yu

Publication number: 20200258025Abstract: A server automatically generates a response to a request received from a first user. Configuration information is received from second users. A request is received from the first user. A first stage of matching the parameters of the request to the second users is performed. If the number of matching users is below a threshold, the first stage of matching is performed again expanding or loosening the requirements of the request. A second stage of matching is performed that includes computing a score, and second user(s) are selected based in part on the computed score.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2020Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventors: Denys Kopiychenko, Muxing Chen, Scott Zuccarino, Benjamin Robert Anderson, Harsh Pankaj Panchal, Vikram Reddy Kadi

Patent number: 9870579Abstract: Methods are presented for managing shareable content articles in a social network. One of the methods includes receiving a plurality of articles from a publisher for access to selected users in the social network. In one example, the received articles are identified as having premium content. Each of the received articles is assigned a sharing parameter that includes a sharing threshold. The method further includes receiving a request from a first user, who is identified from the selected users of the social network, to share an article identified from the plurality of received articles with a second user in the social network, and providing the second user with access to the article when the sharing threshold is satisfied. The article is presented to the second user with supplemental content.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2016Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Scott Zuccarino, Paul Moody, Rudolf Michael Galfi
