Patent number: 12632504Abstract: A user interface of an online system is generated based on search for relevant items that match ingredients of a recipe. After receiving, from a device associated with a user of the online system, a query for an ingredient of a recipe, the online system identifies, based on one or more attributes in the query, a set of candidate items for the ingredient. The online system generates a recipe relevance score for each candidate item by applying a weighted sum of scores, ranks the identified candidate items based on their recipe relevance scores, and selects one or more items for presentation to the user. The online system then generates a user interface of the device with a recipe page including the ingredient of the recipe and the one or more items that match the ingredient of the recipe.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2024Date of Patent: May 19, 2026Assignee: Maplebear Inc.Inventors: Riddhima Sejpal, Prakash Putta, Naval Shah, Taesik Na, Vinesh Reddy Gudla, Hin-Seng Pang

Patent number: 12524470Abstract: Techniques for selectively aggregating records based on a downstream function to be applied to the records are disclosed. A system obtains an instruction corresponding to a set of records and a function to be applied to the set of records. The system determines whether the function meets a particular criteria for aggregating records prior to transmitting the records to an application for executing the function on the records. If the system determines that the function does meet the records-aggregation criteria, the system stores a set of records in a buffer prior to sending the set of records to the function-executing application. The system sends the set of records to the application together as a group with an instruction to generate a set of function results that includes a separate value for each record in the set of records.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2023Date of Patent: January 13, 2026Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventor: Daniel S.
