Patent number: 11010483Abstract: Data security access and management may require a server dedicated to monitoring document access requests and enforcing rules and policies to limit access to those who are not specifically identified as having access to the data. One example of operation may include selecting data to access via a user device, applying at least one policy to the data that limits access to the data to user profiles assigned privileges to the policy, encrypting the data, generating metadata indicating the policy and pairing the metadata with the data, and storing the data and the metadata in a policy server.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: VERAInventors: Prakash Linga, Ajay Arora, Vladimir Buzuev, Maurice C.

Patent number: 9870128Abstract: Features are disclosed for presenting multiple content items based on one or more rules defining how the multiple content items are to be presented. One content item may be a primary content item, and any number of additional content items may be related to or supplement the primary content item in some way. Rules may define which related content items may be presented and, in the case of multimedia content (e.g., content with both audio and video elements), which elements of the primary content may be overridden by or mixed with related content, and which may not. References to related content may be embedded in the primary content item, or references may be accessed at a content management system or service.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2013Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Audible, Inc.Inventors: Guy Ashley Story, Jr., Ajay Arora, Douglas Scott Goldstein, Douglas Cho Hwang

Patent number: 9792003Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating user format preference data and using that data to select and/or deliver a specific format of a work. For example, a dynamic format delivery service can dynamically collect data representing a user's preferences respecting specific contexts and formats, and can store this data in association with the user. The dynamic format delivery service can then make use of that data to dynamically select a format for a requested work in order to provide the user with a format tailored to that specific user's consumption habits. Moreover, data representing preferences of a population of users, context attributes, or device-specific format preferences may further contribute to selecting a work format.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Audible, Inc.Inventors: Guy Ashley Story, Jr., Beth Anderson, Ajay Arora, Andrew Bennett Gaies, Foy C.

Patent number: 9734153Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to one or more configured computing systems identifying companion content and supplemental content for a base content. Companion content may include, for example, video adaptations of the base content. Supplemental content may include content referenced or related in subject matter to the base content. Information regarding companion content may be utilized to enable a user to interchangeably or synchronously present either a base content (e.g., an eBook or audio book) with the companion content (e.g., a movie adaptation). Information regarding supplemental content may be utilized to present the supplemental content during consumption of a base content, or to save supplemental content for later viewing.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2012Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Audible, Inc.Inventors: Douglas C. Hwang, Ajay Arora, Douglas S. Goldstein, Shirley C. Yang, Guy A. Story, Jr.

Patent number: 9706247Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to one or more configured computing systems identifying when decoupled content includes a companion content pair (e.g., a first content and a second content) that can be synchronously or interchangeably presented. Further, aspects of the present disclosure relate to providing a limited portion of at least one content item of a companion content pair, such as sample portions or trial use portions, and enabling playback of the limited portion synchronized with or as an alternative to the corresponding item of companion content. In some embodiments, a user may be enabled to acquire the complete content item either during or after consumption of the limited portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2012Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: Audible, Inc.Inventors: Beth Anderson, Ajay Arora, Guy A.

Patent number: 9679608Abstract: Users may have a set duration during which they may consume content, or they may have a variable duration during which they may consume content. A content pacing service is disclosed so that a portion of an item of content may be conveyed in the set duration during which a user is to consume the content. In one embodiment, the rate at which the content is conveyed is increased or decreased so that a reference point in the item of content (e.g., the end of a chapter in an audiobook) is reached approximately when the duration of the user's content consumption ends.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2012Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: Audible, Inc.Inventors: Douglas C.

Patent number: 9632647Abstract: Digital items of dynamic content may be navigated by content elements associated with the item of dynamic content. In some embodiments, a voice command or natural language query is obtained from a user to whom the item of dynamic content is being presented. The voice command or natural language query may be processed to identify a content element to which the user wishes to navigate. The item of dynamic content may then be presented starting at a presentation position at or near a presentation position with which the content element is associated.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2012Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: Audible, Inc.Inventors: Will Lopes, Ajay Arora, Steven C.
