Publication number: 20180143816Abstract: Method and apparatus for coordinating between a media content serving platform and an application distribution platform are provided to reduce the latency between the time the user clicks a media item and the time the media item lands on an application installation page which would allow the user to download an application associated with the media item. The media content serving platform prepares application installation information of an application associated with the media item and transmits the application installation information to the application distribution platform. The application distribution platform makes the application installation information immediately available for the user device to download the application from an application store. The speed of operation of the user device is improved by making the application immediately available for downloading at the application store.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2016Publication date: May 24, 2018Inventor: Aurash Mahbod

Patent number: 9967316Abstract: The presently disclosure provides methods and system for reducing the size of an application by replacing a media item in the application with a reference to the media item stored in a remote storage location. A method may include detecting a media item in an application and storing the media item in a remote storage location. The media item in the application may be replaced with a reference to the media item stored in the remote storage location and the application may be provided to a device. A media item request may be received from the device, and the media item request may indicate a parameter associated with the requested media item. The media item stored in the remote storage location may be scaled based on the parameter associated with the media item request and the scaled media item may be provided to the device.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2014Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventor: Aurash Mahbod

Patent number: 9182975Abstract: A method for updating an application on a mobile device includes accessing, at the mobile device, application management information. The application management information identifies a plurality of applications installed on the mobile device and one or more granted permission settings associated with each installed application. The method also includes sending, from the mobile device to a server, a request for update information regarding each installed application and receiving, at the mobile device from the server, the update information. The update information identifies an update package for a respective application of the plurality of installed applications. The method also includes installing the update package without user interaction from a user of the mobile device if one or more required permission settings associated with the update package are included in the one or more granted permission settings associated with the respective application of the plurality of installed applications.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Brunsman, Ilya Firman, Ficus Kirkpatrick, Jasper Lin, Aurash Mahbod, Linda K.

Patent number: 8971908Abstract: According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, techniques for determining a timeout value for a mobile device are disclosed. The techniques include receiving a request for a timeout value from a mobile device. The request includes a current network provider identifier and a first current connection type identifier. The techniques further include accessing an analytics database that stores a plurality of realized latency values, each realized latency value corresponding to a different previously performed network operation. Each realized latency value has a network provider identifier indicating a network provider and a connection type identifier indicating a type of associated therewith. The techniques further include retrieving one or more of the plurality of realized latency values from the analytics database based on the current network provider identifier and the first connection type identifier. The techniques also include determining the timeout value based on the retrieved realized latency.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2013Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Ficus Kirkpatrick, Aurash Mahbod
