Patent number: 11688388Abstract: Techniques are described for fulfilling an utterance request for an item represented within a video rendered at a client device. In some implementations, a user account associated with the request is identified, enabling a video stream transmitted in association with the user account at the time that the request was uttered to be identified. In one technique, a timestamp associated with the request is used to identify the relevant portion of the video stream. The item represented within the portion of the video stream can be identified using various techniques and/or information such as image recognition, metadata within the video, subtitles, closed captions, and/or a database mapping between the item and a video content item transmitted in the video stream.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joshua Danovitz, Lei Li, Lars Christian Ulness, Andrew J. Watts, Amarsingh Buckthasingh Winston, Umut Utkan, Michael Flynn, Girish Bansilal Bajaj

Patent number: 10305721Abstract: Techniques are described for facilitating the delivery of digital content using gossip protocols. A group of client devices share information about network conditions in sideband communications using a gossip protocol. Each of the client devices then uses this information to make decisions about how to access content. By providing accurate and current information about network conditions the occurrence of buffering events and/or fatal errors may be significantly reduced or eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2014Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Justin Michael Binns, Lars Christian Ulness, James Eric Knowler, Charles Benjamin Franklin Waggoner, Terje Kristian Backman, Joshua B. Barnard, Marc Joliveau, Chris Longo, Matthew James Bordenet
