Patent number: 9582548Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing geographically relevant search results. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a geotoken for a resource. The geotoken can be a resource token that references a geographic location. A semantic geotoken can be selected using the received geotoken. The semantic geotoken is a standardized representation of the geographic location that includes one or more location-specific terms. The semantic geotoken is stored with a reference to the resource. Neighboring locations for the geographic location are determined. The neighboring locations are within a predetermined distance of the geographic location. Semantic geotokens for the neighboring locations are selected and stored with the reference to the resource. Data specifying the semantic geotokens and the reference to the resource are provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2014Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Daniel Francis Lieuwen, Andrew William Hogue, Greg Morris, Denis M.

Patent number: 7600003Abstract: Techniques for configuring a customer premises equipment connected to a network of a network service provider include receiving configuration information at a distributed component on the network from a central unit on the network. The distributed component also receives from the customer premises equipment a request for values of configuration parameters that determine network properties for the customer premises equipment. The distributed component generates a set of values for the configuration parameters based on the request and the configuration information received from the central unit. The set of values are sent from the distributed component to the customer premises equipment. A system using these techniques is scalable with increasing numbers of customer premises equipments simultaneously requesting values for configuration parameters and is robust in face of equipment failure at a distributed component or at the central unit or both.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2002Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Anton Okmianski, Greg Morris, Timothy Webb, Mickael Graham, David K.

Patent number: 6876667Abstract: A method for establishing class of service configuration in a network device of a broadband cable network using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is disclosed. A request to obtain a network address presented using DHCP is received from a network interface unit over the cable network, generally upon boot up of the network interface unit. A DHCP message is received from a registration center, and the message includes a network address and a quality of service code value associated with the network interface unit. Based on the quality of service code value, a quality of service configuration is established in the cable network for the network interface unit. As a result, quality of service information is obtained for each network interface unit in the network, specifically when the network interface unit is activated, and as part of its boot-up sequence.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2001Date of Patent: April 5, 2005Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Erik Synnestvedt, Greg Morris, Richard Woundy, Timothy Webb, Kenneth Kinnear, Jr., Samer Seoud, Michael Hansen
