Patent number: 11890549Abstract: Techniques for managing notifications are described. In an example, a computing device presents content in an application window based on an execution of an application. Notification data is received by a computing device. Based on a context associated with the computing device, such as whether the application window is the foreground and whether the notification data is associated with the application or such as the operational mode of the computing device, a determination is made whether to present a corresponding notification in-context within the application window or in a pop-up window. Otherwise, the notification is added to a notification list and can be summarized in a notification summary.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Elizabeth Ruth Juenger, Ryan David Sutton, Makoto Oshita, Zentaro Kaji

Patent number: 11712624Abstract: Techniques for managing notifications are described. In an example, a computing device receives notification data. The computing device compares a first context associated with the notification data and a second context associated with an application executing in an application window on a display. The computing device determines whether the notification data is to be presented in the application window or is to be sent to a queue based on the comparison, the queue storing other notification data corresponding to another notification. The computing device also presents, based on the comparison, at least the notification data or a notification in the application window over at least a portion of content from execution of the application while a presentation of the content continues, the notification distinct from the notification data and indicating that the notification data is presented.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Elizabeth Ruth Juenger, Ryan David Sutton, Makoto Oshita, Zentaro Kaji

Publication number: 20230105178Abstract: In a case where the storage area of an information processing apparatus is insufficient for data to be downloaded, an information terminal causes the size of a lacking storage space and a list of stored data in the storage area to be displayed, and accepts, from a user, selection of the data targeted for deletion. If the selection is expected to resolve the lack of storage space, the information terminal accepts a deletion request and issues the deletion request to a management server to achieve deletion of the target data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2021Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Takehiko Tsurumi, Makoto Sunayama, Syunsuke Bamba, Toru Yamamoto, Makoto Oshita, Koji Ihara, Keisuke Ichikawa, Yuki Ogawa, Nobuyoshi Miyokawa, Daisuke Matsunaga

Publication number: 20220208210Abstract: Provided are a sound output control apparatus, a sound output control system, a sound output control method, and a program that can appropriately thin out the output of pieces of sound data. A sound data reception section receives a plurality of pieces of sound data transmitted from transmission apparatuses that are different from each other. A selection section selects a portion of the plurality of pieces of sound data on the basis of at least one of a result of a voice activity detection process performed on each of the pieces of sound data or moving averages of volumes of sounds represented by the pieces of sound data. A sound data transmission section outputs the selected portion of the pieces of sound data.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2020Publication date: June 30, 2022Applicant: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Takuma Oiwa, Yoshihisa Onoue, Shogo Suzuki, Shin Nagata, Makoto Oshita, Yuji Kojima, Akihisa Sumi

Publication number: 20220029842Abstract: In a chat system, chat servers are disposed in a distributed fashion in different regions. A client terminal issues an opening request for opening a chat room in response to a user's action. A gateway acquires the region of the client terminal as a request source from the opening request signal. A relay point allocation server selects an appropriate chat server or a region thereof from the standpoint of regions and communication speeds, and requests the chat server to open a chat room. The chat server relays chat data among the client terminals.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2020Publication date: January 27, 2022Applicant: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Yoshihisa Onoue, Makoto Oshita, Soushi Urakawa
