Patent number: 12375538Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for ad hoc, ambient, synchronous multimedia collaboration in a group-based communication system. Embodiments of the invention provide a way for users to quickly discover and initiate real-time collaboration sessions among groups of other users without the burden and overhead of a conventional call or video meeting. Users can quickly and easily discover and switch into and out of these synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions at any time, without disrupting the sessions for other participating users. This enables a diverse set of users to experience a rich multimedia collaboration session collaboration as a convenient ad hoc forum rather than a burdensome scheduled event.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2021Date of Patent: July 29, 2025Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Stewart Butterfield, Tamar Yehoshua, Noah Weiss, John Rodgers, Kevin Marshall, Anna Niess, Pedro Carmo, Ethan Eismann, Chris Willmore, David Ly-Gagnon

Patent number: 12184933Abstract: Systems and associated methods are described for providing recording of a blacked out media content item. A system receives a request from a first user device associated with a profile to record a media content item scheduled to broadcast on a second user device (different from the first user device) associated with the profile, at a second location. The system determines that the media content item is subject to a blackout during a blackout period within a blackout region. The system determines that the first user device and the second user device are associated with the same profile and that the first user device is at a first location outside the blackout region. The system then accesses the media content item for recording on the second user device during the blackout period. The system further transmits the recorded media content item to the first user device after expiry of the blackout period.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Jeffery Garcia, David Ly, Hung Vuong, Rodney Young

Publication number: 20220174345Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a notification for display on a device based on consumption history of a content item are disclosed herein. Control circuitry receives a request to store a content item of a series of sequentially ordered content items. The control circuitry determines whether the request is a new request for a user. Upon determining that the request is the new request, the control circuitry stores a predetermined number of content items of the series of sequentially ordered content items in a storage device. If a threshold amount of the predetermined number of content items has not been displayed on a device, then the control circuitry causes the notification to be displayed on the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2020Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: Jeffery Garcia, David Ly, Hung Vuong, Rodney Young

Patent number: 10872198Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for rearranging content within resized sub-regions of a web page. First, resizing of a first sub-region of the webpage is detected by a user dragging a slidable border of the sub-region. A span value associated with dimensions of the first resized sub-region is determined and defining minimum dimensions of the first resized sub-region are defined. A subset of the dimensions of the first resized sub-region that fit within the span value is defined based on the minimum dimensions of the resized sub-region. The dimensions of the first resized sub-region include a fixed parameter and a dynamic parameter. The contents of a second sub-region of the webpage are rearranged in response to the resizing of the first resized sub-region and displaying displayed.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2018Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Michael Wang, Enzhen Huang, David Ly-Gagnon, Benjamin Snyder, Gautam Vasudev

Patent number: 10044660Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, and methods for integrating a service console application by providing communication between a first and second network domain. In various implementations, first data is received at a second network domain, where the first data includes one or more functions. A first message may be received at the second network domain, the first message being provided at the second network domain in response to the one or more functions being invoked, and the message identifying the one or more functions. Responsive to receiving the message, the one or more functions may be executed at a computing device associated with the second network domain. Responsive to executing the one or more functions, a second message may be sent to the first domain indicating that the one or more functions have been executed, where the second message is operable to invoke and execute one or more call back functions.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2015Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Gautam Vasudev, Peng-Wen Chen, David Ly-Gagnon
