Patent number: 10862836Abstract: Implementations relate to automatic response suggestions based on images received in messaging applications. In some implementations, a computer-executed method includes detecting a first image included within a first message received at a second device over a communication network from a first device of a first user, and programmatically analyzing the first image to extract a first image content. The method includes retrieving a first semantic concept associated with the first image content, programmatically generating a suggested response to the first message based on the first semantic concept, and transmitting instructions causing rendering of the suggested response in the messaging application as a suggestion to a second user of the second device.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: John Patrick McGregor, Jr., Ryan Cassidy, Ariel Fuxman, Vivek Ramavajjala, Sujith Ravi, Sergey Nazarov, Amit Fulay

Patent number: 10798028Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media for bot interaction are described. For example, some implementations can include a computer-executed method including providing a messaging application, on a first computing device associated with a first user, to enable communication between the first user and at least one other user. The method can also include detecting, at the messaging application, a user request, and programmatically determining that an operation in response to the user request requires sharing of data associated with the first user.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Shelbian Fung, Erika Palmer, Amit Fulay, Anton Volkov, Ori Gershony, Jeremy Newton-Smith, Ryan Palmer, Mark Chang

Patent number: 10122848Abstract: Implementations of the present application relate to caller previews for video calls. In some implementations, a method includes sending, by a caller device, a call request to a callee device and determining an identifier associated with the callee device. The method determines whether the identifier is associated with an address book of the caller device, and/or is in an outgoing call record of the caller device. An acknowledgment is received from callee device, and, upon receipt of the acknowledgment, a connection is established with the callee device. Based on determining that the identifier is associated with the address book and/or in the outgoing call record, at least a portion of a caller video is transmitted over the connection with the callee device. The caller video is transmitted prior to receipt of an acceptance of the call request from the callee device.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2017Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Heidi Rafael Sales, Rebecca Michael, Koa Metter, Jason Cornwell, Alan Lee Rogers, Richard Yuan-Ching Lo, Anna Maria Jansson, Matthew Thomas Austin, Tyler Bahl, Minjae Lee, Justin Uberti, Amit Fulay

Patent number: 9503683Abstract: The present disclosure, in some implementations comprises systems and methods for providing applications during video communication, via online communities or services, for example, social networks. Video communication may be video conferencing or “video chat” sessions among a plurality of users of the online services. Users may engage in a video conference or “video chat,” yet at the same time, use or obtain different applications, designated as either “personal” or “shared” applications. A “personal” application is one that does not involve others and is configured to enhance an individual user's personal experience during a group video communication. A “shared” application is one that involves at least one of multiple users during a group video communication, for example, users may participate in a card or trivia game, watch videos together, collaborate and share documents, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2012Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Richard James Dunn, Amit Fulay, Chee Chew, Alexander Jan Verhage
