Patent number: 11475617Abstract: In implementations of path-constrained drawing with visual properties based on a drawing tool, a digital artwork editing system includes a user interface in which a constraint path can be designated in a digital artwork. A stroke input can be sampled as it is drawn with a drawing tool and for each processing interval of the stroke input, a start point of the stroke input and a tangent line to the constraint path is determined. An end point of the stroke input is projected onto a parallel line that is through the start point and parallel to the tangent line, and a stroke is rendered along this line. Hence, the stroke is rendered based on the stroke input in a piecewise linear fashion, simultaneously constrained by the constraint path and rendered based on how the drawing tool is used.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2021Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventor: Dwight O.

Patent number: 10521835Abstract: A digital medium environment includes a content provider that receives a request for content and provides the requested content to a computing device. An improved advertisement detection method implemented by the content provider comprises determining whether the requesting computing device is blocking advertisements provided with the content. If the requesting computing device is blocking advertisements, the content provider may prevent the requested content from being displayed unless a user of the requesting device selects an alternate option for viewing the requested content. Alternate options for viewing the requested content include purchasing a subscription to the content provider, paying the content provider to view only the requested content, or enabling display of advertisements at the requesting computing device. The improved advertisement detection method protects content provider revenue streams and informs users of alternate options for viewing content from a trusted content source.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2016Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Shrinidhi P. Karanth, Gopalakrishna M. P. Sharma, Dwight O. Rodgers

Publication number: 20170244959Abstract: Techniques for selecting a view of a video are described for videos having multiple views of a real-world scene that are captured simultaneously. When playback of a video is initiated, an object of interest is identified and tracked by automatically switching between multiple views of the video in order to maintain the object in view within a viewport as the object moves between the multiple views. A user input may be received at a scrub bar of the viewport, prompting generation of a thumbnail preview of the video based on a selected view of the video and a time of the video relating to the user input. The correction may be based on a view that is currently displayed in the viewport.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2016Publication date: August 24, 2017Inventors: Angela Ranjeet, Pavan Kumar, Kiran Chandra Zagabattuni, Dwight O.

Publication number: 20170148057Abstract: Various implementations provide improved advertisement workflow techniques designed to increase click-through rates in the context of a digital medium environment. When content, such as streaming video, is received and has an associated advertisement, an option can be provided to enable the user to defer viewing of the advertisement. If the user selects the defer viewing option, the advertisement is placed in a deferred advertisement queue for later viewing and the user can proceed directly to consuming their content. The user can then choose to view deferred advertisements at any time that is convenient to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2015Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: Shrinidhi Karanth Parameshwar, Dwight O.

Patent number: 7478158Abstract: A method of enforcing network bandwidth limitation includes receiving a request from a client for transmission of a server's feed data and receiving a client timestamp from the client. The method further includes determining if feed data in a previous transmission from the server to the client has been lost, and if so, reimbursing the client for the lost data. The method further includes determining if the client is eligible to receive the requested feed data transmission from the server, and if the client is eligible, then immediately transmitting of the most recent available requested feed data from the server to the client, but if the client is not eligible, then preventing the transmission and withholding the feed data from the client without prolonging the duration of any network connection from the server to the client.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2004Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Dwight O. Rodgers, Brian P. Connolly, James T. Morris, Laurent E. Sellier, Basil C. Hosmer
