  • Patent number: 11961108
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, searching and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework for analyzing messages associated with an inbox of a user, and providing functionality to the inbox for alerting the user to specific forms of content included within each message. Such functionality can include displaying messages and/or the content contained therein in a novel, dedicated and modified and/or embedded portion of a message inbox. The messages can also be modified upon display within in the inbox to indicate that the message includes content of a specific type. Also, messages that include specific content types can also trigger the disclosed framework to generate and provide alerts to the user indicating the inbox has received or includes specific forms of such content.

  • Patent number: 11875778
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for generating voice renderings of machine-generated electronic messages. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework for organizing often fragmented machine-generated electronic messages and providing mechanisms for a virtual assistant to produce voice-renderings data extracted from electronic messages. The disclosed system may implement steps for receiving user queries via virtual assistants, extracting data from machine-generated electronic messages, converting the extracted data to purposeful organizational schemas, and generating human perceivable voice renderings based on the user queries and extracted data.

  • Patent number: 11861652
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for mailbox-based coupon display are provided. For example, a plurality of email messages stored in a mailbox of a first email account of a first user may be identified, and may be evaluated to identify a plurality of coupons. The plurality of coupons may be analyzed to determine one or more coupon features. User data and/or activity data associated with the first user may be analyzed to determine one or more user features. A predictive model may be tuned based upon the one or more coupon features and/or the one or more user features. A set of scores may be generated for the plurality of coupons based upon the predictive model. A graphical user interface may be controlled based upon the set of scores to display one or more coupons.

  • Patent number: 11768895
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, searching and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework that provides an optimized ranking methodology for query suggestion and auto-completion tasks that messaging systems can implement and embed into their functionality. The disclosed framework can leverage the mail query logs on a personal level or on the aggregate (e.g., across all or a set of users on a network), and the mailbox content of each user to produce a comprehensive ranking function that generates ranked search suggestions for a mail search query for both person and company entities.

  • Publication number: 20230274312
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for generating dynamic content item recommendations are provided. Content item information, extracted from message data, is aggregated to calculate popularity and attributes of content items. The content items are ranked based upon the popularity and attributes to generate a ranked list of content items. Exploration traffic is served utilizing a set of eligible content items selected from the ranked list of content items. An eligible content item is promoted for participation in auctions for serving non-exploration traffic based upon the eligible content item being served a threshold number of times.

  • Publication number: 20230169572
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for generating and providing recommendations of products are provided. For example, content is extracted from a message sent to a user. The content is evaluated to identify a product identifier corresponding to a product title of a product. If the product identifier is a truncated version of the product title, then a database of product titles and frequencies of occurrence of the product titles is used to complete the product title. A model is used to infer a product category for the product title. Matching scores are assigned to products within a product category based upon weighted attributes. A recommendation is provided to the user for a product having a matching score greater than a matching threshold.

  • Patent number: 11443554
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods are provided. One or more videos associated with a user may be analyzed to determine a first set of features of the user associated with a first emotion of the user and/or a second set of features of the user associated with a second emotion of the user. A first user emotion profile associated with the user may be generated based upon the first set of features and/or the second set of features. A second video may be presented via a graphical user interface of a first client device. The user may be identified within the second video. It may be determined, based upon the second video and/or the first user emotion profile, that the user is associated with the first emotion. A representation of the first emotion may be displayed via the graphical user interface of the first client device.

  • Patent number: 11327984
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for query expansion are provided. For example, a search user interface is populated with search results of a query submitted through a computing device. User input is received through the search user interface for an object, such as a drag and drop command of a phrase occurring within the search results. The user input may drag the phrase from a search result to a query input user interface. In this way, the query is modified based upon the object, such as where the phrase is added to the query to create a modified query. Second search results for the modified query are displayed through the search user interface.

  • Patent number: 11302048
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, searching and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework that automatically generates and recommends Internet memes for inclusion within electronically communicated messages. As a user is drafting a message, the input text of the drafted message is analyzed and a set of Internet (or visual) memes are compiled and presented to the user within the drafting interface. Upon selection of at least one of the memes, the message is modified by automatically removing the text from the message and replacing the now removed text with the selected meme.

  • Patent number: 11281725
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods automatically generate and provide an interactive rich set of personalized query suggestions within a unified framework. The disclosed systems and methods are able to integrate attributes associated with message data and metadata by transforming such attributes into facets that are combined with term suggestions and presented to the user in a unified manner. The instant disclosure provides an interactive search suggestion mechanism that narrows the search as the user interacts with the dynamically generated and provided suggestions.
