Patent number: 10242178Abstract: Methods are disclosed for identity key management in networked application execution. In one embodiment, an identifier request is transmitted from a client system to a server system, in which an identity key value in the identifier request is blank. Upon detecting the blank identity key value at the server system, the server system operates to generate a new identity key value and an identifier for the new identity key value. The new identity key value and the identifier for the new identity key value are transmitted from the server system to the client system. The new identity key value is stored in a local store of the client system. The local store of the client system is secured by a passcode and persists data through power cycling of the client system. The identifier is used to track execution of a networked application in an anonymous execution mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Zynga Inc.Inventors: Rohith Ravi, Joy Ghanekar, Dorion Carroll

Patent number: 8583740Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods and the like for the management of filtered messages and filtering settings. Embodiments use the interaction of a user and a notification message to execute commands/requests. In one aspect, a notification message is used to notify a computer user of filtered incoming electronic messages that are stored in a quarantine server and database. In one embodiment, the notification message comprises message data having information regarding incoming messages blocked from reaching the destination server and stored in the quarantine server and database. Also in this embodiment, the message includes user interface data selectable by the user to manage the handling of incoming messages. In addition, the message includes action logic associated with the user interface data and configured to execute the selections made by the user by sending commands from the user's computer to the quarantine server and database via a computer network.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2005Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Oswall, Dorion A. Carroll, Lisa M. Hoggatt, Scott M. Petry, Fredric L. Cox, Peter K. Lund, Michael D. Beeson

Patent number: 8346880Abstract: Disclosed herein are filtering systems and methods that employ an electronic message source reputation system. The source reputation system maintains a pool of source Internet Protocol (IP) address information, in the form of a Real-Time Threat Identification Network (“RTIN”) database, which can provide the reputation of source IP addresses, which can be used by customers for filtering network traffic. The source reputation system provides for multiple avenues of access to the source reputation information. Examples of such avenues can include Domain Name Server (DNS)-type queries, servicing routers with router-table data, or other avenues.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2011Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Peter K. Lund, Scott M. Petry, Craig S. Croteau, Kenneth K. Okumura, Dorion A. Carroll

Patent number: 8210940Abstract: The Apparatuses, Methods, and Systems For Game Mechanics For Gifting (“GGM”) transform social graph, interactions, behavior and characteristics data inputs via various GGM components to create optimal gift-giving dynamics. In one embodiment, the GGM may receive a request to provide a gaming resource to a user. In response to the request, the GGM may aggregate and analyze interaction data to identify a provider with prior interactions with the user. The GGM may in turn request the provider for a gaming resource. The GGM may receive an indication to provide a gaming resource to the user in response to the request and may facilitate providing of a gaming resource to the user. The GGM may identify this indication as an instance of interaction and may update the user interaction data accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2011Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Zynga Inc.Inventors: Dorion Carroll, Bill Mooney, Matthew Ocko
