Patent number: 12131006Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for navigating an avatar based on time zones. A global event is identified that begins at a particular time on a given date; a sequential list of time zones associated with a plurality of geographical locations is retrieved; and a current time at a first time zone of the sequential list of time zones is determined to have reached the particular time on the given date. In response, an avatar is generated for display on a map at a first of the plurality of geographical locations associated with the first time zone and is navigated to a second geographical location when a current time at a second time zone, associated with the second geographical location, reaches the particular time on the given date.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2023Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: SNAP INC.Inventors: Sumbul Alvi, David Mark, Kimberly A. Phifer, Graham Reid, Suraj Vindana Samaranayake, Alexandre Valdetaro Porto

Patent number: 11657428Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for goal-based audience selection. A method for generating an audience using machine learning may include receiving a request to generate an audience for an advertisement campaign, the request including an objective associated with presentation of the advertisement campaign. The method may include determining first user actions based on the objective, and identifying first users of a system who performed the first user actions using the system. The method may include determining second user actions performed by the first users prior to performing the first user actions, and identifying second users of the system who performed the second user actions and failed to perform the first user actions. The method may include generating a target audience to which to present the advertisement campaign, and causing presentation of the advertisement campaign to the target audience.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Graham Reid Scarth Ritchie, Pawel Pomorski, Zhun Zhang, Ravi Bhagavan
