  • Patent number: 9589296
    Abstract: Various embodiments enable a media playback device to present a user with the option to add items referenced in a media object, such as a movie, ebook, song, game, or application, to a wishlist for later purchase or sharing. An example system performs content analysis of the media object to determine which items are referenced in the media object and where they are located within the media object. Further, the system can query an electronic marketplace for more information about which specific types, sizes, colors, or other variations of the item are available, as well as information such as price, shipping cost, shipping time, and so forth. In a video media object, for example, the system can present a custom miniature storefront for various scenes or frames in the video that represents items present or referred to in the scenes or frames.

  • Patent number: 8275808
    Abstract: An attribute is received for storage. Whether the attribute is searchable or non-searchable in storage is determined. Storing the attribute as a searchable attribute comprises storing the attribute in a database table corresponding to a hierarchical class-based object. Storing the attribute as a non-searchable attribute comprises storing the attribute together with one or more other non-searchable attributes as a set of attributes. The set of attributes is stored in a database location outside the database table corresponding to the hierarchical class-based object, and the database location is accessed before the database table. A unique attribute identifier is associated with the attribute to distinguish between a name of the attribute and a name of one of the one or more other non-searchable attributes in the event that the name of the attribute and the name of the one of the one or more other non-searchable attributes are assigned the same name.
