  • Patent number: 11928714
    Abstract: Features for adaptation and control of a graphical user interface (GUI) and GUI functionality are disclosed herein. In an example, a user interface control is provided in a GUI to receive interaction from a user, which is provided in an enabled state to offer functionality for the user to attempt an initial commerce action with a constrained item. The user interface control is changed from the enabled state to a disabled state, in response to receipt of the interaction from the user, and a delay time period is calculated for the disabled state (with the delay time period being uniquely calculated for the user). The user interface control is changed from the disabled state to the enabled state, upon expiration of the delay time period, and the enabled state of the user interface control provides functionality for the user to perform a commerce action with the constrained item.

  • Patent number: 11720947
    Abstract: A search engine provides diverse search results in response to a search query using a trained diversity ranker. The diverse results may be generated by determining ranking positions of at least some search results based on delta feature values that are dependent on higher-ranked results. Delta feature values indicate a degree or magnitude of difference between a particular result and other results with respect to a particular feature, such as price, category, or shipping type. In providing the ranked results for presentation to a user at a computing device, a diversity feature indicator for at least some results may be generated. The diversity feature is a feature that distinguishes a given result from other results. As such, the diversity feature indicator represents that diversity feature for the particular result being different from other results and distinguishes the diversity feature from other features in the particular result.
