Patent number: 9202233Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining the likelihood of a user's attendance at an event. For example, the systems and methods can be used to determine that a particular user is attending, is planning to attend, has already attended, or is about to attend a particular event, such as a movie, concert, tour, etc. Further, upon determining that a user is attending, has already attended, or is about to attend an event, systems and methods can be used to serve to a device, associated with the user, content that is related to the event. For example, the content may include invites that invite the user to provide a review of the event and to join a discussion about the event. Further, for example, the content may include links to websites that provide reviews and other information about the event, provide information about related events, or that offer related items for sale.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2010Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: IMDb.com, Inc.Inventors: Hilliard Bruce Siegel, Francis J.

Patent number: 8689255Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for associating and synchronizing extrinsic data with video content at particular points of time in the video content. A user interface is rendered that facilitates a selection from extrinsic data items that are associated with a video content feature that is currently being presented to a user. A user selection of one of the extrinsic data items is obtained through the user interface, and a time in the video content feature is determined corresponding to the user selection. The user selection of the one of the extrinsic data items and the time in the video content feature are reported to a server.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2011Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: IMDB.com, Inc.Inventors: Andrej Gregov, Francis J.

Patent number: 8606770Abstract: A facility for generating item recommendations is described. In one embodiment, the facility displays a plurality of item indications each indicating an item. The facility then receives user input selecting one or more of the displayed item indications, and selects as seed items the items indicated by the selected item indications. The facility then uses the selected seed items to generate a list of recommended items, and displays the generated list of recommended items.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2011Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Inventors: Andrej Gregov, Andrew Harbick, Greg Linden, Jonathan Pak, Josh Petersen

Patent number: 8584165Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating access to content using availability information. Content programs are determined based at least in part on a prior selection of one or more of the content programs from a content catalog by a user. Content availability data is obtained from multiple content providers. Availabilities of each content program are determined based at least in part on the content availability data. A user interface is generated that presents the respective availabilities of each of the content programs through the corresponding interfaces of some or all of the content providers.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2011Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: IMDb.com, Inc.Inventors: Francis J.

Patent number: 8577880Abstract: A system provides a user interface through which users can flexibly tag individual items represented in an electronic catalog with user-defined tags, such as text strings, and obtain recommendations that are specific to particular tags. The tags and tag-item assignments created by each user are stored persistently in association with the user, and may be kept private to the user or exposed to others. Once a user has assigned a tag to a number of items, the user (or another user in some embodiments) can request and obtain recommendations that are specific to this tag. These recommendations may be generated in real time by a recommendation service that identifies items that are collectively similar or related to the items associated with the tag.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2012Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Aaron Donsbach, Andrej Gregov, Jeffrey D. Few, Jeffrey D. Lehman, Jeffrey T. Brownell

Patent number: 7930218Abstract: A facility for presenting information about new items, such as new items available via a web site is described. The facility receives a request for information submitted on behalf of an identified user. In processing the request, the facility accesses a set of items having effective times. The facility performs a first filtering process to eliminate items of the set whose effective times indicate that the items are not new. The facility performs a second filtering process to eliminate items of the set in which the user likely has a low level of interest. Subsequent to both the first and second filterings, the facility presents to the user information about each of at least a portion of the filtered items.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2008Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Andrej Gregov, Greg Linden, Josh Petersen, Brent Smith, Jeremy Charles York
