Patent number: 9876870Abstract: A user selects a content item that he wishes to send. He then performs a “sending” gesture and specifies an initial “content-sharing zone.” In order to be eligible to receive the selected content item, a receiving device must be located within the content-sharing zone. However, the content-sharing zone can evolve over time. It can grow in size, change shape, or move (e.g., it can remain centered on the sending user as he moves). A potential recipient makes a “receiving” gesture, and, if the location of the receiving device is located within the evolving content-sharing zone, as currently defined, then the content item is sent from the sending device to the receiving device (either directly or via a content server). A maximum size or duration of the evolving content-sharing zone can be specified. Other restrictions can be stated so that, for example, only intended recipients can receive the content item.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2017Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Alex G. Goncalves, Maria N. Mokhnatkina

Patent number: 9743458Abstract: A system and method of determining a keep-alive interval for a network access point (AP) employs adaptive learning and crowd sourced data building to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of mobile device connectivity. In particular, in addition to allowing group accessed storage of resolved keep-alive intervals for specific APs, the disclosed principles provide a mechanism for resolving the keep-alive interval for any AP upon first encounter, allowing devices to maintain connectivity during a session without consuming bandwidth unnecessarily by sending superfluous keep-alive messages.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2013Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: GOOGLE TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS LLCInventors: Ravi Jain, Maria N Mokhnatkina, Balaji Thiagarajan, Lakahmi Thyagarajan

Patent number: 9152131Abstract: A wearable device in one embodiment includes a motion detection sensor, an alarm clock and a sleep monitor operatively coupled to the motion detection sensor and the alarm clock. The sleep monitor monitors a person during sleep by collecting motion detection sensor data at a first data collection rate and determines a sleep state of the person based on the collected motion detection sensor data at the first data collection rate. If the sleep monitor detects that the alarm clock has entered a snooze mode, then the first data collection rate is increased to a second data collection rate and motion detection sensor data is collected at the second data collection rate while the alarm clock system in the snooze mode.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2013Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Maria N Mokhnatkina, Dmitri R Latypov, Ravi Jain, Mikhail Petrov
