Publication number: 20200245039Abstract: A method is performed at a server system. The server system receives from an electronic device media content information. The server matches the media content information with stored content information, and identifies a media content item based on the matching. It also identifies a genre of the media content item and one or more entities relevant to the identified media content item. The server generates one or more user-selectable elections based on the genre of the media content item. It sends to the electronic device the user-selectable elections and a plurality of affordances. Each of the affordances provides a user of the electronic device with one of the user-selectable elections corresponding to a respective entity that is relevant to the identified media content item. The server receives from the electronic device a selection of the one or more user-selectable elections, and performs an operation associated with the selection.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Andrew Kirmse, Jan-Willem Maarse, Yaroslav Volovich, Ant Oztaskent, Ingrid McAulay Trollope, Jurek Foryciarz

Patent number: 10469484Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein provide for a third-party application an ability to access a first-party notification interface without receiving credentials linked to a first-party user account. In addition, a device-level permission is established such that each third-party application operating on a client device does not need to seek permission to access the notification interface. A third-party application may request an access code from a client device. The access code may be presented to an authentication server. The authentication server may provide an access token and a refresh token to the third-party application. The third party application may provide the access token and data to be included in a notification to the first-party notification interface.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Muxing Chen, Chandan Gopal Lodha, Jie Shao, Jan Willem Maarse, EMil Praun, Gokay Baris Gultekin

Patent number: 10200360Abstract: User physical interaction characteristics information or the way a user physically interacts with a device is analyzed to aid in authenticating a user of a device. User physical interaction characteristics information such as swipe speed, finger area, finger conductivity, finger angle, device angle, movement patterns, acceleration, etc., provide signatures that are distinctive for particular individuals and possibly unique if measured to a sufficiently high level of precision. In some examples, a device measures finger positions, finger pad sizes, moisture level, acceleration, displacement, and changes in finger pad size for a particular user and compares the measurements to physical interaction characteristics measured during subsequent usage of the device to verify that a user is an authorized user.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Vadim Draluk, Francois Goldfain, Avery Audrey Kwan, Jan-Willem Maarse

Patent number: 9509592Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement framework level mode specific file access operations. In a mode such as a work or enterprise mode, read and write accesses are directed to one or more secured locations. File data and metadata may be secured with encryption and/or authentication mechanisms. Conventional mobile solutions provide only for mode encryption distinctions at the application level, e.g. one work application may prevent access to certain data, but a different application may want to allow access to that same data. Various embodiments provide framework level mode sensitive encryption that does not require different, mutually exclusive, or possibly conflicting applications or platforms. A device and associated applications may have access to different data based on a current mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2016Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Vadim Draluk, Francois Goldfain, Jan-Willem Maarse, Geng Chen
