Patent number: 8331200Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for determining a time zone for a computing device. A computing system identifies an approximate location of the computing device. The computing system identifies multiple time zones that correspond to the approximate location of the computing device. The computing system identifies a time offset for the computing device at a point in time. The computing system determines, as being a time zone for the computing device, a single time zone of the multiple time zones that matches the time offset at the point in time.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2011Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Qingshan Luo, Timothy M. Dierks, Arturo Crespo

Patent number: 8315919Abstract: An electronic commerce system includes a broker that enables customers to purchase an item from a merchant, where one or more merchants provide bids to sell the item to the customer. In one embodiment, the broker can sell the item to the customer for a defined price determined based on pricing criteria, and then accept bids from merchants offering the item for sale to select a merchant to provide the item based on selection criteria. In another embodiment, the bidding is done in real time before the item is sold to the customer. The broker selects a merchant out of the merchants providing bids, and the broker quotes a price to the customer.

Publication number: 20070169189Abstract: A restricted web site has features that are selectively exposed to clients. A screening web site interacts with clients and collects data about the clients using passive and/or active techniques. The screening site generates a token for the client, and includes data in the token identifying the token and describing the client. The token is encoded in a cookie and saved in the client's web browser. The client subsequently provides the token to the restricted site. The restricted site validates the token to ensure that it is legitimate, has not expired, and has not been used before. The restricted site selects one or more features to provide to the client based on the data about the client in the token and/or on other information. If the client does not present a token or the token is invalid, the restricted site does not expose any features to the client.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2006Publication date: July 19, 2007Inventors: Arturo Crespo, Louis Perrochon
