Patent number: 11915052Abstract: This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for determining target allocation parameters for initiating targeted communications in complex computing networks, which may be associated with the allocation of allocatables in execution events over a period of time. The systems and methods may include receiving a desired allocation; determining a first available allocation at a first time; generating allocation information for a second period comprising the first time; determining a second available allocation at a second time; determining a remaining available allocation, based on the allocation information and the second available allocation; and determining one or more target allocation parameters for initiating a targeted communication to a computing device after the second time.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: The Trade Desk, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Cheung, Konstantinos Karampelas, Alexander L.

Patent number: 10791423Abstract: A system to effectuate passive check-in with respect to a user's mobile device is described. A server system may be configured to receive communications from a GPS-enabled mobile device (e.g., a mobile phone), extract a stream of locations from the received communications, and use the location information to determine whether a boundary-crossing event has occurred with respect to the mobile device. In response to detecting a boundary-crossing event, the server may communicate a message, such as a recommendation, to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Cheung, Greg Alan Cox, Zhenyin Yang, Dawnray Young, Viswa Vaddi, Todd Davis, Chintan Jain, Andrew Shea, Rajkumar Chinnakonda

Patent number: 10740364Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optimizing querying of distributed systems. A system, including a plurality of subsystems each associated with one or more categories, can receive a query from a client device. The system can determine the categories associated with the query. The system can also identify a postal address associated with the query, such as by receiving the location of the client device and mapping the location to a postal address. The system can determine a category unrelated to the postal address and constrain (e.g., sort or filter) the query (and/or query results) based on the remaining categories. In addition, or alternatively, the system can constrain the query (and/or query results) to categories associated with the postal address. The system can also constrain the query (and/or query results) based on time or date, weather information, user profile information, ambient light information, motion information, etc.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: EBAY INC.Inventor: Dennis Cheung
