Patent number: 10521496Abstract: Network resources are subject to automated downloading of information by automated-agents that cause business- or user-specific data to be compiled en masse. In order to control resources and information available to automated-agents, markup documents or elements of markup documents are obfuscated such that a client must reconfigure the obfuscated information in order to display the requested content contained in the document. The obfuscation is applied such that the content will render and display to a human user in the same manner as if the element was untransformed; however, the markup will appear syntactically different to an automated-agent. Thus, in response to a user request, a server can transform elements of a structured document and provide the transformed document to the client for reconfiguring and rendering.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2014Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Samuel Charles Goodwin, John Lindsay Bates, Mark Evans Brighton, Sevag Demirjian, Colin James Hawkett, Blair Livingstone Hotchkies, Forrest MacKenzie Vines

Patent number: 10326783Abstract: Service providers may operate one or more services configured to detect requests generated by automated agents. A CAPTCHA may be transmitted in response to requests generated by automated agents. The CAPTCHAs may be included in a modal pop-up box configured to be displayed by a client application displaying a webpage to a customer of the service provider. Furthermore, the CAPTCHAs included in the modal pop-up box may be rendered inactive and caused not to be displayed by client application executing the webpage. Submitted solutions to CAPTCHAs may be presented with a cookie that enables access to resources of the service provider without restriction. Cookies may be tracked and their use may be used to detect automated agent activity.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sevag Demirjian, John Lindsay Bates, Mark Evans Brighton, Samuel Charles Goodwin, Colin James Hawkett, Blair Livingstone Hotchkies, Forrest MacKenzie Vines

Patent number: 10097583Abstract: Online retailers may operate one or more services configured to detect requests generated by automated agents. A CAPTCHA may be transmitted in response to requests generated by automated agents. The CAPTCHAs may be included in a modal pop-up box configured to be displayed by a client application displaying a webpage to a customer of the online retailer. Automated agents receiving the CAPTCHAs may not be blocked or otherwise restricted from the resources requested and therefore may not be configured to interact with the CAPTCHAs contained in the modal pop-up box.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2014Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sevag Demirjian, John Lindsay Bates, Mark Evans Brighton, Samuel Charles Goodwin, Colin James Hawkett, Blair Livingstone Hotchkies, Forrest MacKenzie Vines
