Patent number: 11210301Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that re-rank a plurality of search results received from a search server on the device is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives, with a browser of the device, a search query from a user. The device further sends the search query to a search server. In addition, the device receives the plurality of search results from the search server, wherein the plurality of search results is ranked according to a first ranking. The device also retrieves browser history of the user, wherein the browser history is collected on the device without revealing the browser history to the search server. The device further re-ranks the plurality of search results according to a second ranking based on at least the browser history. In addition, the device presents the plurality of search results using the second ranking.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: João Pedro de Almeida Forjaz de Lacerda, Karolina Buchner, Vivek Sehgal, Hon Yuk Chan, Vipul Ved Prakash, Lun Cui

Patent number: 11113289Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that generates a re-ranking model used to re-rank a plurality of search results on a client device is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a crowd-sourced intra-domain model from a server, where the intra-domain model is a search result re-ranking model generated based on at least device interactions of a plurality of users interacting with a plurality of other devices. The device further generates a re-ranking model from the crowd-sourced intra-domain model and a local model, where the local model includes private data representing a device user's interaction with that device and the re-ranking model is used to re-rank a plurality of search results.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2017Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Hon Yuk Chan, John M. Hörnkvist, Lun Cui, Vipul Ved Prakash, Anubhav Malhotra, Stanley N. Hung, Julien Freudiger

Patent number: 11003672Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that re-rank a plurality of search results is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a search query from a user and generates the plurality of search results over a plurality of search domains, wherein the plurality of search results is ranked according to a first ranking. The device additionally generates a re-ranking model, where the re-ranking model includes a plurality of intra-domain models that are generated based on at least based on-device interactions of a plurality of users interacting with a plurality of other devices and each of the plurality of search domains corresponds to one of the plurality of intra-domain models. The device further re-ranks the plurality of search results using the re-ranking model and presents the plurality of search results using the second ranking.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2017Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Hon Yuk Chan, John M. Hörnkvist, Lun Cui, Vipul Ved Prakash, Anubhav Malhotra, Stanley N. Hung, Julien Freudiger

Patent number: 10275409Abstract: A metadata management system receives metadata changes and automatically updates a metadata architecture which maps the data. The metadata changes may be received through a simple user interface by a user or administrator. Once received, the system may automatically update schemas and data transformation code to process data according to the new data mapping preference. The system may handle metadata updates in a multi-tenant system having one or more applications per tenant, and may update data for a single tenant and 1 or more tenant applications in a multitenancy.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2016Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS L.P.Inventors: David Tung, Hon Yuk Chan, Ketan Bengali, Sasmita Patra, Ming Chang

Publication number: 20170357725Abstract: Described is a system and technique for providing search results in response to a search query for content items. The system may search for content items based on searching metadata associated with the content items. The system may rank the search results based on various criteria to display the search results in an intuitive and relevant manner within a search application. For example, in instances where the search application displays sample text (or a snippet) of the content item as part of a search result, the system may prioritize content items that contain the search query as part of the sample text.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2017Publication date: December 14, 2017Inventors: John M.
