Patent number: 11582522Abstract: A system can be configured to receive entertainment content requested by a user and identify content segments and content features from the entertainment content. The content segments can be utilized to identify portions of the entertainment content for enrichment and/or enhancement by the system. The content features can be utilized to associate the entertainment content and the content segments with supplemental content that includes or is associated with the content features. The content features can indicate genres, scene classifications, significant figures credited with creating the entertainment content, and other points of interests for users interested in the entertainment content. The associations between the entertainment content and the supplemental content can enable the system to engage the users by presenting the supplemental content determined to match interests of the users.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hooman Mahyar, Shiva Krishnamurthy, Steven David Prinz, Craig Critchley, Arjun Cholkar, Andrew James McVeigh

Publication number: 20060218238Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for failed message error recovery using application specific error queues. An application message, a reference to a receive queue that corresponds to a receiving application, and a reference to an application specific error queue specific to a sending application are received from the sending application. The application message is enqueued in a transmission queue. Transfer of the application message to the receive queue is attempted. It is detected that the application message was not delivered to the receiving application due to an error. The application message is moved from the transmission queue to the application specific error queue. The application message and appropriate error information is returned from the application specific error queue to the sending application.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2005Publication date: September 28, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Craig Critchley, Richard Hill, Krishnan Srinivasan, Uday Hedge, Alexander Dadiomov

Publication number: 20060177069Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with the present invention allow for messages to be delivered from one application to another over a network in discrete groupings or communication sessions. For example, a sending computer system sends a group of related messages to a queue at a recipient computer system. The recipient computer system identifies that the messages of the group are related, and initiates a session-oriented communication channel. The recipient computer passes the group of messages to an appropriate application, and opens a different, new session-oriented communication channel for a new group of messages that are not necessarily related to the first group of messages. In one implementation, an order identifier in each of the received messages instructs the recipient computer system on what order, if any, the messages in a group are to be processed by the specific application.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2005Publication date: August 10, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Craig Critchley, Richard Dievendorff, Krishnan Srinivasan, Richard Hill, Uday Hedge

Publication number: 20060174016Abstract: The present invention provides for an automated, user friendly way of constructing and using a binding object. A developer is presenting and selects binding elements that will ultimately be used to create a runtime communication channel for transporting a message between a client and service endpoint. After receiving the user input, metadata, a channel factory and listener factory are created. The metadata describes binding elements and provides an abstract representation of a protocol stack that implements communication aspects at runtime. The channel factory is configured to use the collection of metadata at runtime to generate the runtime communication channel. Further, the listener factory is configured to accept the runtime communication channel for de-multiplex the communication aspects in order to process the message at a service endpoint. The present invention also provides for groupings of binding elements and standardized binging objects organized based on industry need.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2005Publication date: August 3, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Craig Critchley, David Wortendyke, Elliot Waingold, Eric Zinda, Erik Christensen, Giovanni Della-Libera, Kenneth Wolf, Michael Vernal, Shy Cohen, Stefan Pharies, Stephen Millet, Stephen Swartz, Tomasz Janczuk, Uday Hegde, Yaniv Pessach

Publication number: 20060168052Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for reliably and securely transferring queued application messages. Application messages are (e.g., binary or text) encoded and then encapsulated in transfer messages, enqueue messages, and dequeue responses such that composable protocol elements used in application messages can be reused in the transfer messages, enqueue messages, and dequeue responses. Transfer message headers are encoded and then encapsulated along with encoded application messages such that composable protocol elements used in transfer headers and application messages can be reused in the store and forward messages. Application messages, transfer messages, enqueue messages, dequeue responses, and store and forward messages can all be configured in accordance with the same messaging protocol, such as, for example, Simple Object Access Protocol.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2005Publication date: July 27, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Krishnan Srinivasan, Craig Critchley, Uday Hegde, Alan Geller, David Driver, Richard Hill, Rodney Limprecht

Publication number: 20050203949Abstract: Systems and methods for using endpoint references in a publish-subscribe system are described. In one aspect, an endpoint reference is created by a component of the pub-sub system. The endpoint reference includes an endpoint address and one or more contexts. Each context is directed to a respective component of the pub-sub system. Each context is transparent to the respective component, and selectively opaque to all other pub-sub system components.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2004Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: Luis Felipe Cabrera, Geary Eppley, Jeffrey Schlimmer, David Wortendyke, Bradford Lovering, Craig Critchley
