  • Publication number: 20210029395
    Abstract: A system and method for determining a geographic location of a client device to determine whether to provide content to a user of the client device is disclosed. The system determines, based on a geographic location of the client device, whether to present the video item to the user of the client device for consumption by determining whether an address of the client device is of a first type; responsive to determining that the address of the client device is of the first type: determining a blackout rule for the video item; determining whether to restrict access to the video item based at least in part on the geographic location of the client device and the blackout rule; in response to determining that the access to the video item is to be restricted, generating graphical data notifying the user of the client device that the video item is restricted.

  • Patent number: 10805656
    Abstract: A system and method for restricting access to content is disclosed. The system comprises a communication module, a rules module, a geolocation module, and a blackout module. The communication module receives a request for content and location data describing the geographic location of a client. The request includes content data identifying the content. The rules module determines a blackout rule for the content based at least in part on the content data. The geolocation module determines the geographic location of the client based at least in part on the location data. The blackout module determines whether to restrict access to the content based at least in part on the geographic location of the client and the blackout rule.

  • Publication number: 20200210029
    Abstract: A computing device receives a first display rule associated with an object category that defines whether unselected objects in the category are displayed when the object is selected, and a second display rule associated with an object that defines whether the object can continue to be displayed when the object is selected. The computing device renders a first display of the listing on a user interface of another computing device. The computing device receives notification of selection of a user interface element on the second computing device requesting selection of the object from the first display and analyzes the object by determining the object category, the first display rule, and the second display rule. The computing devices render a second display of the listing on a user interface of the second computing device comprising an updated display of the objects according to the first and second display rules.

  • Publication number: 20200033145
    Abstract: A latency analysis system determines a latency period, such as a wait time, at a user destination. To determine the latency period, the latency analysis system receives location history from multiple user devices. With the location histories, the latency analysis system identifies points-of-interest that users have visited and determines the amount of time the user devices were at a point-of-interest. For example, the latency analysis system determines when a user device entered and exited a point-of-interest. Based on the elapsed time between entry and exit, the latency analysis system determines how long the user device was inside the point-of-interest. By averaging elapsed times for multiple user devices, the latency analysis system determines a latency period for the point-of-interest. The latency analysis system then uses the latency period to provide latency-based recommendations to a user. For example, the latency analysis system may determine a shopping route for a user.

  • Patent number: 10306010
    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure describe inferring social groups through patterns of communication. A method of the disclosure includes ascertaining, by a processing device, a proposed group of contacts from contacts of the user based on a correlation in geographic locations of communications between the user and the proposed group of contacts and a correlation in a type of medium of the communications, providing a recommendation that the user create a new list of contacts associated with the user from the proposed group of contacts, and responsive to the user indicating acceptance of the recommendation, creating the new list of contacts associated with the user from the proposed group.

  • Patent number: 10115118
    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to obtaining event reviews. In one embodiment a method includes receiving location data corresponding to a location of a device and receiving temporal data corresponding to a time when the device was at the location. The method also includes obtaining event information based on the location data and the temporal data, and generating a user interface on the device to permit reviews of an event associated with the event information. The method also includes generating one or more prompts based on the location data and the temporal data.

  • Patent number: 9983002
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for determining floors at a geographic location using barometric air pressure sensors in a mobile phone. An exemplary method includes identifying a first height associated with a location based on a client device. The first height indicates an entry level of the client device at the location. Using information regarding an amount of outside air pressure at the location, a pressure sensor in the client device is calibrated. A pressure offset for the location is calculated. The pressure offset identifies a difference between air pressure readings inside the location and the amount of outside air pressure at the location. Using the calibrated pressure sensor, a second height associated with the location is determined based on readings from the calibrated pressure sensor and the pressure offset. The second height indicates a different level at the location that the client device is currently on.
