  • DISPLAYING AN ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMING GUIDE FOR LIVE TELEVISION
    Publication number: 20220232294
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method uses a first list of ranked entities to determine a first ordering of entities in slots of an electronic programming guide. Information is outputted to display at least a portion of the first ordering of entities in slots of the electronic programming guide. The method determines when a refresh of the electronic programming guide should be performed. When it is determined that the refresh should be performed, if a second list of ranked entities is available: the method uses the second list of ranked entities to determine a second ordering of entities in slots of an electronic programming guide and outputs information to display at least a portion of the second ordering of entities in slots of the electronic programming guide to update the electronic programming guide for the refresh.

  • Systems and methods for caching emails for subsequent delivery
    Patent number: 11394681
    Abstract: A system and method for improving the download time of emails in an environment in which a server distributes emails to persons working in close proximity to each other. When these persons receive multi-recipient emails intended for several or all of these persons, the server distributing the emails delivers the multi-recipient emails to the first one of the persons who logged on to read his or her emails on his or her personal computer, for distribution to the other persons over a personal area network. This reduces the download time for the persons downloading their emails at a subsequent time.

  • Computationally efficient model selection
    Patent number: 11373377
    Abstract: In various implementations, a device surveys a scene and presents, within the scene, a extended reality (XR) environment including one or more assets that evolve over time (e.g., change location or age). Modeling such an XR environment at various timescales can be computationally intensive, particularly when modeling the XR environment over larger timescales. Accordingly, in various implementations, different models are used to determine the environment state of the XR environment when presenting the XR environment at different timescales.

  • Video game system for saving
    Patent number: 11224817
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose technology for allocating funds related to one or more in-game purchases when users interact with a gaming application. Based on the interactions of a user with the gaming application running on a client device of the user, a gaming server receives information of an in-game purchase by the user. The gaming server notifies a second computer server of the in-game purchase which sends an activation link to the user. When the second computer detects selection of the activation link, funds are electronically transferred from the gaming application to one or more accounts. In some embodiments, the funds allocated to the one or more accounts can be a percentage of the in-game purchase amount.
