Patent number: 11778439Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for providing assistance to a user of a mobile application are described. A request to establish a session for a single mobile application executing on a mobile device is received on a remote device via an application programming interface (API) that is integrated with the single mobile application. Information from the single mobile application is received on the remote device via the API, the information including information about the single mobile application. A command is sent from the remote device to the mobile device, causing the mobile device to execute the command in the single mobile application.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: EBAY INC.Inventors: Scot Fraser Hamilton, Ladd Van Tol, Luke Shardlow, Jonathan David Chard, Matthew Olson

Publication number: 20220374421Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for processing search queries using item-based search refinement are provided. In response to a search query, search result items are displayed on a search interface. The search result items each have an associated item-specific control having embedded selectable hierarchical category classifications. Upon selecting an item-specific control, the item-specific control is displayed. A selection of an embedded hierarchical category classification is received to cause execution of an embedded-item search operation. An embedded-item search operation is executed to identify a subset of the items using the selected hierarchical category classification. The associated item-specific control further has embedded selectable attributes. A selection of an embedded attribute is further received to cause execution of the embedded-item search operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Jonathan David Chard, Erin Miller, Tyler Yong Nugent, Yihung Lee, Benjamin Blechman, Brian Wayne Davis

Patent number: 11375122Abstract: Digital image capture session and metadata association techniques are described. In one example, a user input is received to initiate an image capture session. At least one digital image is captured using a digital camera during the image capture session. Audio input data is also collected using an audio input device during the image capture session and is converted into text data, e.g., speech-to-text. Metadata is generated based on the text data and associated with the at least one digital image. The at least one digital image is output as having the associated metadata as completion of the image capture session.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2021Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Joshua Reino Timonen, William Kirk Brohman, Jonathan David Chard, Erin Courtney Miller

Publication number: 20200183920Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to refine search information. The methods and systems are for receiving a request from a mobile device, the request including an indication of a swiping motion that is applied across a touch-sensitive screen on the mobile device, the touch sensitive screen displaying search results including a first plurality of data items. The methods and systems are for retrieving a first refinement and a first value from a database entry. The methods and systems are for filtering the search results to generate refined search results including a second plurality of data items that are filtered based on the first refinement and the first value. The methods and systems are for communicating a user interface, over the network, to the mobile device, the communicating being responsive to the receiving the request, the user interface including the second plurality of data items for display on the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2020Publication date: June 11, 2020Applicant: eBay Inc.Inventors: Ashita Achuthan, Paden Barber, Jonathan David Chard, Patrick Foss, Jean-Charles Gabaix-Hialé, Krystal Rose Higgins, Margaret MacDonald, Mark Eppolito, Matthew Bret MacLaurin, Mica Merce, Tyler Yong Nugent, Ryan Reeves, Bradley Roberts, James Tenniswood, Ladd Van Tol
