Patent number: 10404814Abstract: Systems and methods for providing third-party content can include a data processing system receiving a first content selection parameter and a plurality of second content selection parameters to manage serving of content items of a third-party content provider. The data processing system can store the first content selection parameter and a plurality of second content selection parameters in a memory bank. Upon receiving a request for third-party content, the data processing system can retrieve the first content selection parameter and the plurality of second content selection parameters from the memory bank, and determine a parameter among the first content selection parameter and the plurality of second content selection parameters. The data processing system can select a content item from a plurality of content items of the third-party content provider based on the determined parameter, and provide the selected content item for presentation on a client device.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Igor Saprykin, Nicholas Tan, Pranav Kantawala, Ying Wang, Piyush Prahladka, Cedric Dupont, Ankur Lahoti, Nandita Prabhu

Patent number: 9147203Abstract: The present technology proposes techniques for managing indoor geolocation conversions based on a user's intent in an indoor location. An advertiser may determine the intent of a user of a mobile device and transmit advertisements to the mobile device related to the determined intent. The intent may be determined based on events that include a location of the mobile device, network browsing history, and a transaction made using the mobile device. The advertisement may provide the user with directions to an item based on location information from the mobile device. The advertisements may also load balance geolocation conversions in order to manage a number of users at a particular location.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2015Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Cedric Dupont, Andrew Lookingbill

Publication number: 20150154639Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to serving content. In one example, while on a shopping trip at a store, a device may scan for wireless network access point information. The scanned information may be compared to a location model store to determine the device's location in the store and how the device is moving through the store. This information may be compared to behavior models. In one example, identifying a behavior model may include comparing the average speed of the device to a single threshold value (faster or slower than this speed?), by comparing the behaviors of the device to a set of pre-determined behavior models (the browser, the list-follower, the single-item purchaser), or by comparing to the device's shopping habits. The behavior model may then be used to select and serve content.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2012Publication date: June 4, 2015Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Cedric Dupont, Brian Patrick Williams

Patent number: 8843352Abstract: A computer-implemented system for designing a structure based on an initial depiction is disclosed. The system includes a design engine that receives the depiction and various other inputs and produces a structure design therefrom. The depiction is analyzed to determine a representation, and cells instantiated to populate the representation. Cells are configured to be assembled together with other cells to form the structure design, including systems of the design. An initial proposed design may be iteratively improved using one or more measures of the proposed structure design's goodness, such as conformance to the depiction's shape, style, volume, etc. Creation of the depiction may be in the context of the building site, from which additional information may be derived in the process of creating a proposed structure design.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2011Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Michelle Kaufmann, Eric Teller, Alena Fong, Nicholas Chim, Cedric Dupont

Publication number: 20130244684Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to using position information to grant access. More specifically, wireless network access point data may be used to identify the location of a mobile device in an indoor space. If the identified location is associated with permission information, this information may be used by a permission device to grant or deny the user of the client device some right. For example, the permission information may be used to unlock a door, lock or unlock a feature on the mobile device, delay some action, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2012Publication date: September 19, 2013Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Mohammed Waleed Kadous, Isaac Richard Taylor, Cedric Dupont, Brian Patrick Williams, Sorelle Alaina Friedler
