Patent number: 11763407Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a product packaging model for a product offering of a set of product items associated with a merchant account. At an e-commerce platform, a trigger event is detected and, in response, two or more product items are automatically selected to form a kit that makes up the product offering. Model data for the two or more product items and packaging parameters are used to automatically select a packaging option and to build a product packaging model that is sent to the merchant account. The product packaging model may be a three-dimensional computer model of the kit containing the two or more product items.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2022Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Shopify Inc.Inventors: Bryon Leonel Delgado, Daniel Beauchamp, Brian Crowder

Patent number: 11403723Abstract: Methods and systems for packaging a product offering of product items associated with a merchant account. A product packaging model is associated with a kit of product items having a selected packaging option. During assembly, one or more images of the kit are captured and image features are detected and compared to parameters specified in the product packaging model. An error notification is output if a deviation is detected between the detected image features and the parameters prescribed by the product packaging model.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2021Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Shopify IncInventors: Byron Leonel Delgado, Daniel Beauchamp, Brian Crowder

Patent number: 9604145Abstract: Software at an online game website assigns to a player of a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game a first game task in a conditional series of game tasks. The assignment is based at least in part on a measure of difficulty associated with the first game task. The measure of difficulty depends on a profile associated with the player that includes an Active Social Network (ASN) metric as determined by data that has been read from an in-memory database and that has been retrieved from a social networking website through an application programming interface (API) exposed by the social networking website. Then the software provides a reward to the player upon termination of the conditional series of game tasks. The reward depends at least in part on the game tasks in the conditional series of game tasks that were completed by the player.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Zynga Inc.Inventors: Travis Morrison, Chandra Janakiraman, Brian Crowder

Patent number: 9186584Abstract: Software at an online game website assigns to a player game tasks in a conditional series of game tasks based at least in part on a measure of difficulty associated with the each game task. The measure of difficulty of each game task depends on a profile associated with the player. At least one of the game tasks in the conditional series of game tasks is a social game task. Then the software provides a reward to the player upon termination of the conditional series of game tasks. The reward depends at least in part on the game tasks in the conditional series of game tasks that are completed by the player.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Zynga Inc.Inventors: Travis Morrison, Chandra Janakiraman, Brian Crowder

Patent number: 9168458Abstract: Software at an online game website assigns to a player of an MMO game a first game task in a conditional series of game tasks. Each game task includes a specified duration. At least one of the game tasks in the conditional series of game tasks is a social game task. The software determines whether the player completed the first game task within the specified duration. If the player did not complete the first game task within the specified duration, the software assigns the player a second game task in the conditional series of game tasks that is less difficult to complete than the first game task. Then the software provides a reward to the player upon termination of the conditional series of game tasks. The reward depends on the game tasks in the conditional series of game tasks that are completed by the player.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2013Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Zynga Inc.Inventors: Chandra Janakiraman, Brian Crowder
