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

Publication number: 20210352075Abstract: The subject disclosure provides a machine learning engine trained to recommend, from contacts on a user's device, potential group members to be included in a group with the user. The potential group members can be identified in a privacy preserving manner in which the identification is performed locally at the user's device, using data that is locally stored at the user device. In one or more implementations, a remote server may provide an initial indication to the user's device that potential group members may exist, thereby triggering the local identification of the potential group members for suggestion to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2020Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: Gokul P.
