  • Patent number: 10362368
    Abstract: Relationships and descriptions are inferred for entities that appear in media content, such as movies and television programs. In one embodiment, media content is analyzed to infer relationships among entities that appear in the media content over an entirety of the media content. Relationships between two or more entities may change over time in the media content. A request is received from a client device for entity information regarding one or more entities relative to a particular time in the media content. Relationships that have been inferred via this analysis are then identified based at least in part on the particular time. The entity information presenting the identified relationships is sent to the client device.

  • Patent number: 9451034
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed which facilitate managing interaction with instances corresponding to hosted services. Customers may implement services on a hosted computing environment. Further, the customer may allow limited interaction with the hosted service to a third party (e.g., in connection with a secondary service). For example, the third party may interact with a temporary copy of the hosted service. Thereafter, the customer may, given the consent of the third party, view details of the third party's interaction with the copy, and may be enabled to merge any alterations with the initial hosted service. In addition, a customer may monitor their own interactions with a hosted service or copies of a hosted service, and view details of the differences between multiple versions of the hosted service.
