Publication number: 20200245039Abstract: A method is performed at a server system. The server system receives from an electronic device media content information. The server matches the media content information with stored content information, and identifies a media content item based on the matching. It also identifies a genre of the media content item and one or more entities relevant to the identified media content item. The server generates one or more user-selectable elections based on the genre of the media content item. It sends to the electronic device the user-selectable elections and a plurality of affordances. Each of the affordances provides a user of the electronic device with one of the user-selectable elections corresponding to a respective entity that is relevant to the identified media content item. The server receives from the electronic device a selection of the one or more user-selectable elections, and performs an operation associated with the selection.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Andrew Kirmse, Jan-Willem Maarse, Yaroslav Volovich, Ant Oztaskent, Ingrid McAulay Trollope, Jurek Foryciarz

Patent number: 10332019Abstract: In some examples, systems and techniques can determine a respective visit likelihood for each respective destination of a plurality of destinations based at least in part on a respective distance between the respective destination and a geographic location from a location history associated with a user and a comparison between a time associated with the geographic location and a visit likelihood distribution across time. The systems and techniques can then sort at least some of the plurality of destinations. In other examples, systems and techniques can determine whether a user is likely to visit a place during a future instance of a timeslot based at least in part on a location history associated with the user. The systems and techniques can then output information relating to the place prior to the beginning of the future instance of the timeslot.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Guang Yang, Tushar Udeshi, Andrew Kirmse, Emil Praun, Pablo Bellver, Keir Banks Mierle

Patent number: 9986386Abstract: The systems and techniques disclosed herein provide the ability to determine locations visited by a user and associate relevant location labels with the locations visited based on contact information. In some examples, a location label can be applied based on a match between a location visited and information stored in a user's contact list. In other examples, a user can efficiently designate a contact and location label to be associated with a location visited. In still other examples, if a location visited by a user is not listed in the user's contact list, but is otherwise known to the system, the location visited can be appropriately labeled and the corresponding contact in the user's contact list can be updated to include the location visited.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2017Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Dale Kris Hawkins, Thomas Carl Stamm, Andrew Kirmse, Tushar Udeshi

Patent number: 9916070Abstract: The present invention pertains to geographical image processing of time-dependent imagery. Various assets acquired at different times are stored and processing according to acquisition date in order to generate one or more image tiles for a geographical region of interest. The different image tiles are sorted based on asset acquisition date. Multiple image tiles for the same region of interest may be available. In response to a user request for imagery as of a certain date, one or more image tiles associated with assets from prior to that date are used to generate a time-based geographical image for the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Reuel William Nash, Christopher S.
