  • Patent number: 10657568
    Abstract: An interactive user interface is disclosed that enables users to efficiently access and/or submit component-specific reviews of components of a product. The user interface displays an image of the product, and displays region identifiers that identify image regions corresponding to product components that are separately reviewable. When a user selects a particular region, the user interface may display component-specific reviews of the corresponding component, and/or may display an option to submit a component-specific review of the component. The user interface may be included in an interactive catalog page, such as a web page.

  • Patent number: 10346858
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for assigning user interface widgets to page slots associated with a page template. In response to a request to generate a content page, content placement requests are then received from user interface widgets. The page slots are associated with a placement value indicating a value of the page slot relative to other page slots in the page template. The highest ranked user interface widgets according to an effectiveness metric or placement score are scheduled for placement in the content page.

  • Patent number: 10089405
    Abstract: A system and a method for the management of addressable network resources (e.g., Web pages, electronic documents accessed via a Uniform Resource Identifier, etc.) within a network are provided. Specifically, embodiments of addressable network resource selection systems and methods are disclosed for managing the analysis and identification of optimal links between addressable network resources. A resource selection component enables pruning of undesirable pages on the basis of various usage metrics, including user depart rate. The resource selection component may then identify optimal linking strategies by determining one or more linking scores for remaining pages based on any of a number of different page usage metrics. In other embodiments, addressable network resource selection systems and methods may weight linking scores to emphasize desired outcomes, such as encouraging exploration of a network-based site or encouraging high aggregate sales figures.

  • Patent number: 9928224
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for assigning user interface widgets to page slots associated with a page pipeline. In response to a request to generate a content page, content placement requests are then received from user interface widgets. The page slots are associated with a placement value indicating a value of the page slot relative to other page slots in the page template and can be weighted based upon their location in a page pipeline. The highest ranked user interface widgets according to an effectiveness metric or placement score are scheduled for placement in the content page.

  • Patent number: 9858356
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for automated page generation using value-based recommendations are disclosed. A plurality of content recommendations are determined for a web page using one or more recommenders. Individual ones of the content recommendations are assigned to individual ones of a plurality of interaction elements. Respective effectiveness values for individual ones of the interaction elements are determined based at least in part on the individual ones of the content recommendations assigned to the individual ones of the interaction elements. Based at least in part on the respective effectiveness values for the individual ones of the interaction elements, individual ones of the interaction elements are assigned to respective portions of the web page. The web page is generated based at least in part on the individual ones of the interaction elements assigned to the respective portions of the web page.

  • Patent number: 9716772
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for delegating requests in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) environment. A calling service in the SOA environment can delegate the task of obtaining data used in a computation to a called service that performs the computation. In order to delegate, the calling service may provide a request specification that defines a mechanism by which the called service can obtain the data. For example, the request specification might define a request to another service in the SOA for obtaining the data. The calling service might also provide an authentication ticket that can be utilized to confirm that the calling service has delegated the task to the called service. The called service can utilize the request specification and the authorization ticket to obtain the data. The obtained data may then be used to perform a computation. The results of the computation may then be provided to the calling service.
