Patent number: 11688388Abstract: Techniques are described for fulfilling an utterance request for an item represented within a video rendered at a client device. In some implementations, a user account associated with the request is identified, enabling a video stream transmitted in association with the user account at the time that the request was uttered to be identified. In one technique, a timestamp associated with the request is used to identify the relevant portion of the video stream. The item represented within the portion of the video stream can be identified using various techniques and/or information such as image recognition, metadata within the video, subtitles, closed captions, and/or a database mapping between the item and a video content item transmitted in the video stream.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joshua Danovitz, Lei Li, Lars Christian Ulness, Andrew J.

Patent number: 8996607Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media identify a server to a client device. In one implementation, server identification data is stored for a plurality of servers associated with a service. An identifier of a client device is received. One of the plurality of servers is selected to provide the service to the client device, and the server is selected based on the identifier of the client device. The server identification data for the selected server is provided to the client device. The selected server may receive a request to access the service from the client device, and may process the request consistent with state data stored at the selected server.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2010Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Girish Bansilal Bajaj, Zhi An
