Patent number: 11757848Abstract: Users access content using a variety of formats, where some formats provide stronger encryption or protections than others. Content transmitted over open protocols may expose content to unauthorized third parties or enable unauthorized use of the content. The content may be protected by converting the content to a set of instructions on a user device, where the instructions correlate characters to identifications and outlines of the characters with instructions for rendering the characters. Different segments of content may have different mappings between characters, identifications, and outlines to add time or resource use to attempts to reverse engineer the instructions.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jan Zieh, Musachy Barroso, Lokesh Joshi, Mark David Van Hamersveld, Jeffrey Gerard Rodrigues, Mohammad A.

Patent number: 10545640Abstract: Electronic content such as an electronic book (e-book) that is referenced in or otherwise related to other content such as website content is identified, and a visual representation of the electronic content is generated. The visual representation is presented in conjunction with the website content, and a reader application for previewing the electronic content is launched via user interaction with the visual representation. Exiting the reader application causes a browser application that is rendering the website content to be automatically returned to a foreground state. A variety of actions are enabled via interaction with the reader application such as purchasing the electronic content, sharing the electronic content, or downloading a sample preview of the electronic content for later consumption.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Wainwright Gregory Siady Yu, Anisha Gulabani, Andrew Olcott, Robert Wayne Roth, Joon Hao Chuah, Jeffrey Craig Kunins, Brandon LaBranche Watson, Simran K.

Patent number: 9158743Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for designing a network site. A grid layout component is provided in conjunction with a network page. The network page has at least one text element and at least one image element. The grid layout component has a plurality of cell configurations. Each cell configuration includes at least one text cell and at least one image cell. An indication is received from a user, indicating that one of the cell configurations is to be an initial cell configuration. In response to the user indication, the at least one text element and the at least one image element are displayed in a grid having the initial cell configuration. Layout code is generated which renders the grid, including the at least one text element and the at least one image element, within the network page for display by the browser.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2011Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Erin H.
