Patent number: 12100395Abstract: Some implementations relate to an automated assistant that can provide assistant suggestions based on content that the user has requested for the automated assistant to render at a computing device. In some instances, an assistant suggestion can correspond to a portion of the content that is not being rendered at the computing device but that is part of the content that the user is accessing. In other instances, an assistant suggestion can be based on data that can indicate how one or more users may have interacted with their automated assistant when viewing the content. Therefore, an assistant suggestion can correspond to an assistant operation that may have been initialized by another user who had previously viewed the content. In some implementations, an arrangement of the assistant suggestions can be modified according to which part of the content a user is viewing and/or user distance.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2021Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Stacy Cronin, Cliff Kuang, Abraham Wallin, Katrina Egert-Pecot, Sean Joseph Klassen, Caleb Misclevitz, Karan Patel, Ian Baker, Simon Sok, Ryan Allen

Publication number: 20190034980Abstract: A scalable voucher system used to manage how content (specifically advertisements) is delivered to client devices is described. The advertisements are stored on a plurality of different ad servers. With the use of vouchers that are assigned to each ad server for pre-determined periods of time, the voucher system is able to manage when and how advertisements should be provided to the client devices. The voucher system also provides an arrangement that allows for the use of additional ad servers to be scalable. As the number of client devices that would need to be serviced with advertisements increases, the voucher system is able to easily accommodate the increase number of clients with the implementation of additional clusters of ad servers and corresponding processors without significant changes to the underlying system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2017Publication date: January 31, 2019Inventors: Sean Ian Allen, Matthew Bennett, Alexandra Nsonwu
