Publication number: 20210097230Abstract: A user provides an annotation, such as text or graphics, in relation to a resource available on a computer network. The annotation is automatically stored and/or retrieved without requiring separate action from the user to accomplish the storage or retrieval. An annotation interface may receive the annotation from the user. The annotation is then stored in association with the user and the network address of the resource. The user's annotation may be later retrieved and displayed to the user based on the network address of the resource. In one specific embodiment, a browser toolbar receives and displays user annotations associated with Web sites or Web pages to which the user has navigated. Preferably, the annotation interface remains available to the user throughout the time in which the resource is provided. Further controls may enable the user to make an annotation publicly available to others, and to receive annotations from others.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2020Publication date: April 1, 2021Inventors: Udi Manber, Jonathan Leblang, Colin Saunders, Matthew Amacker

Patent number: 10257251Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for using a uniform resource locator to retrieve content for both a first application and a second application. The user may elect to use the first or second application to view content associated with the uniform resource locator. In one instance, an unmodified uniform resource locator may be parsed for identifiers that may be used to retrieve content for the second application instead of the content for the first application. In another instance, a modified uniform resource locator may be appended with a second application scheme and a path for the content of the second application address. In both instances, the unmodified and the modified uniform resource locators may be used to retrieve content for the first application or the second application.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2015Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Jonathan A.

Patent number: 10230564Abstract: A single sign-on system accepts master credentials from a user device and/or application, and automatically signs on to supported services using account credentials corresponding to those services. If the user has not created an account used by a particular device or application, the system can automatically interact with the account service to create the account. Similarly, if the device or application that relies on the account has not already been registered with the account, the system automatically interacts with the account to register the device or account.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2011Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Luhui Hu, Jonathan A. Leblang, David J. Zimmer

Patent number: 10176173Abstract: The present invention provides a method and/or system for extracting or scraping links, which may be in the form of uniform resource locators (URLs), from an information source such as a Web page displayed on a Web browser, based on a rule set or a template, or based on a selection of links, and adding the extracted or scraped links to another interface in order to facilitate navigating the extracted links. The extracted or scraped links are selectable by a user of the interface to cause the Web browser to display information corresponding to the selected links listed in the interface. Controls associated with the interface may allow the user to move forward and backward through the links listed in the interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2012Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: A9.com, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Warren Amacker, Jonathan A.

Patent number: 9953361Abstract: A method and system for placing an order to purchase an item via the Internet. The order is placed by a user at a client system and received by a server system. The client system can display information identifying the item and, for each of multiple procurement options having information related to ordering the identified item, can display an indication of the procurement option such that selection of the displayed indication represents an ordering of the identified item using the information of the procurement option. In response to selection of a displayed indication, the client system can send to a server computer a request to order the identified item using the information of the procurement option for the selected indication.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2015Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: William Allocca, Jordan Hay, Jonathan A.

Patent number: 8953841Abstract: In some examples, a user transportable device may determine, based at least in part on sensor input, that the device is in motion. For example, the device may determine there is a likelihood that a user of the device is walking, running, traveling in a vehicle, or the like. In response, the device may present, on a display, an image obtained from a camera oriented, at least in part, toward a direction of travel. Further, in some examples, one or more images from the camera and/or sensor input from other sensors on the device may be analyzed to detect whether an object, obstruction or other hazard is in a direction of travel of the user of the device. If the device determines that a hazard may be imminently encountered by the user, the device may provide an alert to the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan A.
