Patent number: 8416806Abstract: A variable bandwidth communication system includes a first and a second communication station, coupled for continuous, bi-directional communication. The first communication station is capable of transmitting at a first and a second bandwidth, and is capable of receiving at a third and a fourth bandwidth. The second communication station is capable of receiving at the first and second bandwidth and is capable of transmitting at the third and fourth bandwidth. The transmitting bandwidth of each station is selectable by the user. The second bandwidth is greater than the first and the fourth bandwidth is greater than the third. Preferably, but not necessarily, the first and third bandwidth like the second and fourth bandwidth are about the same. The first communication system can display communication received at the fourth bandwidth at the first bandwidth, and the second communication system can display communications received at the second bandwidth at the third bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2011Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Interval Licensing LLCInventors: Debby Hindus, Scott Mainwaring, Elin Pedersen, Sean Michael White, William Gaver

Patent number: 8180778Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating action trails from web history are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a web content access history of a user, the content access history including one or more user actions, each user action being associated with a content item upon which the user action is performed and identifying one or more action trails from the content access history, each action trail including a sequence of user actions performed one content items relating to a topic. Identifying a particular action trail includes clustering the user actions into a series of segments using temporal criteria; calculating semantic similarities between the content items, and adding a segment of the series of segments to the action trail when the semantic similarities between the segment and another segment satisfy a similarity threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2010Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Elin Pedersen, Karl A. Gyllstrom, Shengyin Gu, Peter Jin Hong

Publication number: 20070280290Abstract: A variable bandwidth communication system includes a first and a second communication station, coupled for continuous, bidirectional communication. The first communication station is capable of transmitting at a first and a second bandwidth, and is capable of receiving at a third and a fourth bandwidth. The second communication station is capable of receiving at the first and second bandwidth and is capable of transmitting at the third and fourth bandwidth. The transmitting bandwidth of each station is selectable by the user. The second bandwidth is greater than the first and the fourth bandwidth is greater than the third. Preferably, but not necessarily, the first and third bandwidth like the second and fourth bandwidth are about the same. The first communication system can display communication received at the fourth bandwidth at the first bandwidth, and the second communication system can display communications received at the second bandwidth at the third bandwidth.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2007Publication date: December 6, 2007Inventors: Debby Hindus, Scott Mainwaring, Elin Pedersen, Sean White, William Gaver

Publication number: 20070130145Abstract: Actions of a user that correspond to various documents are identified by observing and analyzing low level system events driven by the user's interactions with one or more windows for displaying the documents. The identified user activity is used to characterize the documents. Characterizations can include relationships between the documents, and/or importance of the documents, or others.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2005Publication date: June 7, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Elin Pedersen, Jeanine Spence

Patent number: 6282206Abstract: A variable bandwidth communication system includes a first communication station and a second communication station coupled to the first communication station for continuous, by directional communication. The first communication station is capable of transmitting at a first bandwidth and a second bandwidth greater than the first bandwidth, and is capable of receiving at a third bandwidth and a fourth bandwidth greater than the third bandwidth. The transmitting bandwidth of the first communication station is selectable by first user. The second communication station is capable of receiving at the first bandwidth and at the second bandwidth and is capable at transmitting at the third bandwidth and the fourth bandwidth. Again, the transmitting bandwidth of the second communication station is selectable by the second user. Preferably, but not necessarily, the first bandwidth and the third bandwidth are about the same, and the second bandwidth and the fourth bandwidth are about the same.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1998Date of Patent: August 28, 2001Assignee: Interval Research CorporationInventors: Debby Hindus, Scott Mainwaring, Elin Pedersen, Sean Michael White, William Gaver
