Publication number: 20160314208Abstract: A search engine provider interacts with a content provider wherein the content provider provides content to the search engine provider. The content may comprise information that indicates a structure of the content provider's web pages. The search engine may use structural information to classify and extract data items from web pages, and to highlight those data items in search results with labels that identify each such data item's class.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2016Publication date: October 27, 2016Inventors: Priyank Shanker Garg, Tuoc Vinh Luong, Hari Vasudev

Publication number: 20110178868Abstract: A search engine provider enters into an agreement with a content provider wherein the search engine provider agrees to provide compensation in exchange for the content provider giving content to the search engine provider. The content may comprise data that normally can't be accessed without a subscription, or any other content. The content may comprise information that indicates a structure of the content provider's web pages. The search engine may display normally inaccessible content with search results. The search engine may use structural information to classify and extract data items from web pages, and to highlight those data items in search results with labels that identify each such data item's class. A computing device determines the extent to which enhancement of the search results page using the content provider's content increased the revenue value of the page. The amount paid to the content provider may be based on this extent.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2010Publication date: July 21, 2011Inventors: Priyank Shanker Garg, Tuoc Vinh Luong, Hari Vasudev

Publication number: 20110093881Abstract: Two-way digital media devices typically store digital identifying data that identify the user to providers of content and interactive data. In the case of a Web browser of a personal computer, the digital identity is stored in the form of a plurality of cookies that are used by respective web sites to personalize the web site experience for each particular user. When a user is at a different computer, the digital identifying data is not available. In addition, other types of interactive devices, such as CATV settop boxes, cell phones, PDAs and the like, may not have enough non-volatile memory (persistent storage) to store the digital identifying data. In order to provide users with a portable digital identity, a digital identity server is provided as a server node on the Internet, which retrieves digital identifying data and downloads such digital identifying data to any device upon request.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2010Publication date: April 21, 2011Applicant: TVWORKS, LLCInventors: Jonathan I. McCormack, Venkatachary Srinivasan, Hari Vasudev, Raymond Drewry

Patent number: 6885405Abstract: An intelligent flash system for a digital camera having components including an image optical pickup, an interface circuit, a flash unit and a processor. Upon activation of the camera, ambient lighting conditions are evaluated and if flash energy is required, a first low energy pre-flash is radiated, the reflected light received by the optical pickup having a multiplicity of pixels, and the output of the pixels converted to image intensity data by the interface circuit. The processor samples the image intensity data, weighing the center image area more heavily, and creates a histogram plot of quantity of pixels v.s. intensity, and separates the plot into a bar graph from which a determination of exposure is obtained. The histogram is then used to calculate a multiplicative scaling factor used to multiply the first flash energy to an estimate of a flash energy for correct exposure. Conditions of extreme over and under exposure result in the activation of a second flash at an adjusted energy level.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2000Date of Patent: April 26, 2005Assignee: FlashPoint Technology, Inc.Inventors: Eran Steinberg, Hari Vasudev, Sumat Mehra

Publication number: 20050075895Abstract: A method for storing and retrieving digital media received from a sending device of a user by a service provider. The service provider has a database for storing of digital media with respect to the associated customer account. The image provider examines a message associated with the digital media so as to obtain a sender ID and them searches the database to determine if the ID is associated with one of the customer accounts. The digital media is forwarded to the database if the associated customer account exists. However, if no associated customer account exists, a temporary account is established and the digital media is stored on database. A PIN is associated with respect to the temporary account and is forwarded to the user for use in accessing the stored digital media.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2003Publication date: April 7, 2005Inventors: Kamran Mohsenin, Hari Vasudev, Mark Johns
