Patent number: 11722753Abstract: Receiving and processing out-of-band (OOB) data along with a media stream is disclosed. The received OOB data can be extracted from an OOB data stream and correlated with the media stream using timestamps. Display and other operations can then be performed when a timestamp of the OOB data matches a current timestamp of the media stream. In addition, timestamp notification requests can be received and processed such that when the current timestamp of the media stream matches a requested timestamp, a notification can be transmitted, and data can be received in response to the notification.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2019Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: William M. Bumgarner, Blake Seely, Christopher L. Oklota, Dale A. Taylor, Eswar Priyadarshan

Patent number: 11190856Abstract: Time-based events and other metadata that can be added to a media stream to enable downstream systems to enhance the viewing experience are disclosed. The events are given time attributes that establish their location in the media stream so that regardless of where the playhead is located within the media stream, the events that are active at that point in time can be identified and synchronized with the playhead. In addition, a master clock can be used to update a stream timeline associated with the media stream to account for differences between the expected and actual duration of advertisements inserted into the media stream.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: William M. Bumgarner, Blake Seely, Christopher L. Oklota, Dale A. Taylor, Eswar Priyadarshan

Publication number: 20210150137Abstract: Methods and systems for transcript-based bot creation are provided. Information may be stored in memory regarding different automation templates associated with different statement types. A transcript may be imported that includes statements, which may be analyzed and classified as one or more of the different statement types. The imported transcript may be displayed in a graphic user interface with its statements displayed in accordance with the automation templates associated with the respective statement type. User input may be received, including modification input that modifies at least one automation template associated with at least one statement of the displayed transcript designated as an integration point. A custom bot may thereafter be generated based on the modification input and configured to conduct a conversation based on the imported template and to initiate a workflow at the integration point in accordance with the modified automation template.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2020Publication date: May 20, 2021Applicant: LIVEPERSON, INC.Inventors: Ravikiran Chittari, Eswar Priyadarshan, Robert LoCascio, Jonathan Altschuler, Suresh Ramakrishnaiah, Htet Win, Chuqing He, Matthew Dunn

Patent number: 10097664Abstract: A media item recommendation can be based on application purchase data. Application purchase data of a population of users can be used to create application preference clusters that represent unique application preference profiles. Media preference data of the same population of users can be used to create media preference clusters that represent unique media preference profiles. A preference relationship between an application preference cluster and a media preference cluster can be identified based on the number of members of the media preference cluster that are also members of the application preference cluster. Upon receiving a recommendation request from a user, the user's application preference profile can be determined based on the user's application purchase data. A media item can then be recommended based on a media preference cluster that has a preference relationship with an application preference cluster that represents the application preference profile of the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2013Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: David E.

Patent number: 9367847Abstract: A present technology intelligently retargets invitational content to a user by maintaining a user profile that includes data descriptive of the user's interaction with invitational content previously presented to the user and making decisions regarding retargeting based on an analysis of the user profile. The information in the user profile is not limited to whether or not the user completed a conversion action associated with invitational content presented. Rather, the profile is expanded to include such information as where on the conversion continuum the user abandoned the process and details of how the invitational content was presented to the user, e.g. colors used, situation, and message. When presented with a request for invitational content, the system uses the profile information to influence which content is selected and how it is presented to the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2010Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Eswar Priyadarshan, Kenley Sun, Dan Marius Grigorovici, Ravikiran Chittari, Jayasurya Vadrevu, Prasenjit Mukherjee

Publication number: 20160110764Abstract: The present technology maintains a profile for each user known to a content delivery system and selectively excludes delivery of certain content to some users based on past performance. The user profile includes a listing of all completed conversion actions associated with the invitational content presented to the user. When presented with a request for invitational content, the system identifies the set of all possible invitational content for the given context. Based on the user profile, the system removes from the set all invitational content for which the user has completed the associated conversion action to create a user-specific set of invitational content. The system selects an invitational content from the user-specific set of invitational content to include in the content package presented to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2015Publication date: April 21, 2016Inventors: Eswar Priyadarshan, Kenley Sun, Dan Marius Grigorovici, Ravikiran Chittari, Jayasurya Vadrevu, Prasad Rallabandi
