Patent number: 11303591Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for managing message content are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by one or more computing devices, a message comprising audio content and visual media content. The method further includes sending, by the one or more computing devices, a first set of data descriptive of the audio content to an audio device. The audio device is configured to communicate the audio content to a user of the audio device. The method includes sending, by the one or more computing devices, a second set of data descriptive of the visual media content to a display device. The display device is configured to display the visual media content for the user. The method further includes providing, by the one or more computing devices, a notification to the user of the audio device to view the visual media content on the display device.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: George Cody Sumter, Christopher James Kelley, Matthew David Tait, Alok Chandel, Shane Riley Brennan

Patent number: 10445325Abstract: The disclosure includes a system and method for detecting proximity between users. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that when executed cause the system to: determine a context associated with a first user device; query other user devices based on the context to create a set of other user devices that satisfy a query; generate a list of filtered devices by filtering the set of other user devices; notify the first user device of the list of filtered devices; and query for the list of filtered devices to determine which filtered devices are within proximity to the first user device.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alan Lee Gardner, III, George Cody Sumter, Nadav Aharony
