Patent number: 10127305Abstract: A first user of a presentation machine may be a recruiter that initiates an action in reference to a first user profile. The first user profile may describe a first candidate for a job. The presentation machine may identify the first user profile and determine a similarity score that indicates a degree of similarity between the first user profile and a second user profile that describes a second candidate for the job. The presentation machine may also access a volatility score that indicates a likelihood that the second candidate is receptive to a proposal that the second candidate be employed by an employer. Based on the similarity score and on the volatility score, the presentation machine may determine a rank of the second user profile. Based on the determined rank, the presentation machine may present the second user profile to the first user.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Elizabeth Ethel Burstein, Christian Posse, Abhishek Gupta, Anmol Bhasin, Dmytro Andriyovich Ivchenko, Parker R.

Patent number: 10122774Abstract: Techniques for enabling members that have interacted physically to interact thereafter via an online social networking service are described. According to various embodiments, it is determined that a first member and a second member of an online social networking service physically interacted at an interaction location at an interaction time, and a specific time interval commencing at the interaction time is calculated. Thereafter, an ephemeral prompt is displayed to the first member, during the specific time interval, indicating that the first member physically interacted with the second member, and inviting the first member to message the second member via the online social networking service. The ephemeral prompt is prevented from being displayed subsequent to expiration of the specific time interval.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Pradeepta Dash, Elizabeth Ethel Burstein, Nash Raghavan, Mark Hull, Gaganpreet Singh Shah, Jayant Sai
