Patent number: 11580514Abstract: Improvements to existing technologies associated with point-of-sale transactions and merchant ecosystems to, among other things, reduce in-person contact and, in some examples, improve the efficiency at which point-of-sale transactions are completed (i.e., reduce friction) are described. In some examples, such reduced in-person contact and/or improved efficiencies can limit transmission of infectious diseases. As such, techniques described are directed to modifying aspects of point-of-sale transactions such that they occur on different computing devices (e.g., customer computing devices instead of merchant computing devices), are automated, and/or occur at different times than with conventional point-of-sale transactions.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Sivan Whiteley, Kirupa Pushparaj

Publication number: 20230037770Abstract: The present technology pertains to a penannular slider in a user interface. The penannular slider can accept an input to drag an indicator about the penannular slider to a location between a first terminal end of the penannular slider representing a first input source, and a second terminal end of the penannular slider representing input audio from playback of a media item. The location of the indicator can control a mixing of audio from the first input source and the input audio, and generating a mix includes first audio from the first input source at a first volume level and second audio from the input audio at a second volume level based on the location of the indicator about the penannular slider.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventors: Jesse Dorogusker, Pål Berg, Agustina Sacerdote, Tait Svenson, Kirupa Pushparaj, Anders Herning

Publication number: 20230040545Abstract: The present technology pertains to managing a sample of a media item using a non-fungible token (NFT) and an associated smart contract. The present technology includes identifying a portion of the media item as a sample, and creating an NFT referencing assignment of a right associated with the sample of the media item. The NFT has an associated smart contract defining a condition upon satisfaction of which the right associated with the sample will be assigned. The present technology may also include identifying market data of the media item, where the market data includes at least one of a list price and historical sales volume for the media item, and identifying charts data, critical review scores, and social media interaction with the media items. The market data can be used to determine a spot price for the sample of the media item.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventors: Jesse Dorogusker, Pål Berg, Agustina Sacerdote, Tait Svenson, Kirupa Pushparaj, Anders Herning

Publication number: 20230024373Abstract: The present technology pertains to generating a playlist based on a shared attribute between content items. The present technology includes receiving a request to generate a playlist to including first media content from a first collection associated with the user account and second media content from a second collection associated with another user account. The technology also includes generating the playlist to include the first media content and the second media content when it is determined that a condition has been met, where the condition includes at least an identification of the user account as recommended to another user account. The user account can be provided with access to the playlist, and an interactive element that, when selected, causes a computing device associated with the user account to be directed to an e-commerce service at which a product is available for sale.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Jesse Dorogusker, Pål Berg, Agustina Sacerdote, Tait Svenson, Kirupa Pushparaj, Anders Herning

Publication number: 20220337898Abstract: The present technology pertains to providing a live playback stream by a multi-media platform. During a live playback stream, the client device controls public playback of media items and is a source of live media during the live playback stream. The live playback stream can be made up of at least two streams between the client device and the multi-media platform. One stream is a playback control channel for transmitting data regarding playback controls pertaining to playback of recorded media content and another stream is a live media stream for transmitting data encoding live media. The multi-media platforms can transmit at least a portion of the data from the playback control channel and the live media stream to an audience member client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Jesse Dorogusker, Pål Berg, Agustina Sacerdote, Tait Svenson, Kirupa Pushparaj, Anders Herning

Patent number: 10171938Abstract: Disclosed herein is a geofence service that enables various remote control and automatic operations based a user's current geographic position as determined by the user's mobile device's current geographic location. The geofence service enables the user to define one or more geofences based on specific geographic locations. Such geofences may be applied against several geofence applications for remote and automatic control of devices. In one embodiment, the mobile device's volume or power control settings are adjusted based on the user's location inside or outside a geofence. In one embodiment, temperature setting of a building or house is controlled based on user's proximity to a geofence. In one embodiment, electrical appliances within a home are activated and controlled automatically based on user's current geographic location.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2017Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Inventors: Mani Partheesh, Kirupa Pushparaj
