Patent number: 11287963Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for creating custom user interface (“UI”) controls. A networked computing service may determine that an action performed by a user of the service is likely to be repeated, based on previous actions performed by the user and/or other users, parameters of the action including characteristics of an item associated with the action, and other criteria. The networked computing service may generate, or recommend generation of, a custom UI control that automates performance of the action. The networked computing service may automatically determine parameters of the action, and may determine alternative parameters and/or alternative actions if the action cannot be performed using the determined parameters. Custom UI controls may be associated with various computing devices and/or other electronic devices, and categories of custom UI controls may be determined and displayed.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephan Josef Andrizzi, Kara Cavallaro, Jai Prakash Chabria, Nicole Dare, Kenneth DeLand, Nirav Praful Desai, Anindya Guha, Marc Hensley, Douglas James Herrington, Samuel Stevens Heyworth, Apoorva Iyer, Nitish Kumar, Hannah McClellan Richards, Jae Park, Amir Pelleg, Jessica Protasio, Daniel Benjamin Rausch, Laura Allison Ridlehoover, Jeffrey Rosenberg, John Shaw, Paul Warren Smart, Amirali Virani

Patent number: 10922743Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for performing actions based on user activation of custom user interface (“UI”) controls. A user of a networked computing service may activate a custom UI control by selecting the custom UI control (such as by touching the custom UI control displayed on a touchscreen display) to trigger the networked computing service to perform a predefined action associated with the custom UI control. In the event that the predefined action cannot be performed, the networked computing service may identify an alternative action that may be performed instead of the predefined action, optionally request user confirmation of the alternative action, and perform the alternative action.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2017Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Stephan Josef Andrizzi, Jai Prakash Chabria, Nicole Dare, Kenneth DeLand, Nirav Praful Desai, Anindya Guha, Marc Hensley, Douglas James Herrington, Samuel Stevens Heyworth, Apoorva Iyer, Nitish Kumar, Hannah McClellan Richards, Amir Pelleg, Jessica Protasio, Daniel Benjamin Rausch, Laura Allison Ridlehoover, Jeffrey Rosenberg, Paul Warren Smart, Amirali Virani

Publication number: 20200272316Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for creating custom user interface (“UP”) controls. A networked computing service may determine that an action performed by a user of the service is likely to be repeated, based on previous actions performed by the user and/or other users, parameters of the action including characteristics of an item associated with the action, and other criteria. The networked computing service may generate, or recommend generation of, a custom UI control that automates performance of the action. The networked computing service may automatically determine parameters of the action, and may determine alternative parameters and/or alternative actions if the action cannot be performed using the determined parameters. Custom UI controls may be associated with various computing devices and/or other electronic devices, and categories of custom UI controls may be determined and displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2020Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventors: Stephan Josef Andrizzi, Kara Cavallaro, Jai Prakash Chabria, Nicole Dare, Kenneth DeLand, Nirav Praful Desai, Anindya Guha, Marc Hensley, Douglas James Herrington, Samuel Stevens Heyworth, Apoorva Iyer, Nitish Kumar, Hannah McClellan Richards, Jae Park, Amir Pelleg, Jessica Protasio, Daniel Benjamin Rausch, Laura Allison Ridlehoover, Jeffrey Rosenberg, John Shaw, Paul Warren Smart, Amirali Virani

Patent number: 10521854Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for selecting and displaying custom user interface (“UI”) controls. A user of a networked computing service may create custom UI controls that perform user-specified actions, and the networked computing service may present these custom UI controls as part of its user interface. The networked computing service may determine which of a set of custom UI controls to present based on criteria such as frequency or recency of recurring usage, a context or a category associated with the custom UI controls, user preferences, the status of a pending action, usage of similar custom UI controls by other users, or other criteria. The networked computing service may present an interface that enables further customization or modification of the custom UI controls.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2017Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephan Josef Andrizzi, Jai Prakash Chabria, Nicole Dare, Kenneth DeLand, Nirav Praful Desai, Anindya Guha, Marc Hensley, Douglas James Herrington, Samuel Stevens Heyworth, Apoorva Iyer, Nitish Kumar, Hannah McClellan Richards, Jae Park, Amir Pelleg, Jessica Protasio, Daniel Benjamin Rausch, Laura Allison Ridlehoover, Jeffrey Rosenberg, Paul Warren Smart, Amirali Virani

Patent number: 10296964Abstract: An effortless and automated reordering system includes a dedicated electronic device with a simple button interface that, upon depression of the button, initiates a process of ordering (or reordering) a product associated with the device and a button on that device. The electronic device may store in memory a device identifier and button identifiers for each button as the basis for order request information. The stored data may be communicated to a fulfillment service (e.g., an online merchant, fulfillment center, etc.) for order identification processing. In some cases, an application provided by the fulfillment service may be executed on a secondary management device to allow a user to configure the electronic device to map the buttons to different products, and even different vendors, to facilitate reconfigurable order management.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2014Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Benjamin Rausch, Nagendra Bage Jayaraj, Bradley James Bozarth, Anna Kim Lee, Michael Martin Lee, Thomas Bruno Mader, Amir Pelleg, Laura Allison Ridlehoover, Richard David Young

Publication number: 20160055465Abstract: Architectures and techniques are described to rent electronic books. In particular, a content provider can rent electronic books to individuals for a specified rental term. The individuals may have the option to modify the rental term for an electronic book. The rental term for a particular electronic book may be modified by extending the rental term of the particular electronic book or decreasing the rental term of the particular electronic book. Individuals may also convert the rental of an electronic book to a purchase and a purchase of an electronic book to a rental. In order to rent the electronic books to individuals, the content provider may acquire permission from the publishers of the electronic books. In some cases, the content provider may acquire a pool of time-bound rentable licenses from the publishers to allocate to individuals renting electronic books from the content provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2015Publication date: February 25, 2016Inventors: Daniel Benjamin Rausch, David A.
