Patent number: 10829361Abstract: A refrigerator having a dispenser that includes an outlet and that is configured to dispense content through the outlet and along an output flow path. The refrigerator also includes a detection unit configured to detect user activity that is indicative of a desire to fill a container with content using the dispenser. The refrigerator further includes an optical system that is configured to, in response to detecting the user activity, direct a beam of light along at least a portion of the output flow path of the dispenser to assist a user in positioning a container to receive content dispensed along the output flow path.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Inventor: Jason Adam Denise

Patent number: 9454608Abstract: Techniques are described for displaying a representation of a list of electronic search results while a user is reviewing content linked to by electronic search results included in the list. While the user is reviewing the search results, the user may jump between content linked to by different search results using the representation of the list of electronic search results displayed. The displayed representation of the list of search results may be updated based on the user's browsing activities in reviewing the search results, user input manipulating the list of search results, and supplemental information added to the list of search results by the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2013Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: SHUTTERSTOCK, INC.Inventor: Jason Adam Denise

Patent number: 9395197Abstract: Techniques are described for monitoring whether a user is following directions to a destination during electronic navigation to the destination provided by an electronic navigation device. When the electronic navigation device determines that the user is not following directions to the destination (e.g., the user has missed several turns suggested by the electronic navigation device), the electronic navigation device determines that the user appears to be avoiding the route (or a primary component thereof) to the destination. In response to a determination that the user appears to be avoiding the route (or a primary component thereof) to the destination, the electronic navigation device may automatically, without human intervention, perform an operation directed to using an alternative route (or alternative primary component) to the destination despite the current route remaining preferred according to current routing settings.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2015Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Inventor: Jason Adam Denise

Patent number: 9395203Abstract: An electronic direction system accesses navigation data describing at least one instance in which a direction was missed during provision of electronic navigation along a route and tracks instances in which directions have been missed based on the accessed navigation data. The electronic direction system accounts for the tracked instances in which directions have been missed in handling provision of future directions.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2014Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Inventor: Jason Adam Denise

Patent number: 9384382Abstract: Techniques are described for controlling communication devices using image analysis. For instance, when a communication is received by a communication device, the communication device outputs an alert to notify users of the received communication and accesses one or more images of an area proximate to the communication device. The one or more images cover an area proximate to the communication device at a time during which the communication device is outputting the alert. The communication device analyzes the one or more images to determine whether a user is present in the one or more images and in a position to perceive the received communication. The communication device handles at least one aspect of the received communication based on the determination of whether a user is in a position to perceive the received communication.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2015Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Inventor: Jason Adam Denise

Patent number: 9137181Abstract: Systems and methods concerning electronic communication reminder technology are disclosed. At a receiving device comprising one or more processors and a memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, a first electronic message addressed to a particular user is received from a sender. The first electronic message is made available to the particular user and, in accordance with a determination that the particular user has not responded to the first electronic message, the particular user is alerted, at a predefined time, to the first electronic message. This predefined time is determined based at least in part on response pattern data corresponding to one or more characteristics associated with the receiving device.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2014Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventor: Jason Adam Denise
