Patent number: 11232119Abstract: Content items may be selected and served with a resource such that each content item is displayed in a corresponding content item slot based on a determined order. The determined order may be based on content of the resource and a referral query. A referral query location of the resource may be based on the referral query and data indicative of content of the resource. In some implementations, the determined order may be based on a predictive model and the referral query location. The predictive model may be based on aggregate historical data of interactions. In some implementations, the determined order may be based on a proximity of a content item slot relative to the referral query location.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Martin Brandt Freund, Yuanying Xie

Patent number: 9973872Abstract: Systems and methods that reproduce surround sound effects from an audio source are described. Wireless communication devices form a wireless network in which music, for example, can be played on the speakers of the wireless communication devices to reproduce surround sound effects from a selected audio source. As the wireless communication devices roam with respect to each other or with respect to a focal point or listening position of the wireless network, the wireless network adjusts how the audio source is played at each speaker of the respective wireless communication device to maintain or to enhance the reproduction of surround sound effects from the audio source.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2017Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Momchil Filev, Martin Brandt Freund

Publication number: 20180082340Abstract: Video ads that play in connection with the presentation of requested videos can generally be skipped if the content consumer is not interested in watching the ad. However, it is common that the content consumer will let the ad play, but focus attention on a different task (e.g., checking email) until the requested content begins. A determination can be made based on input to a user interface that the presentation of the ad does not have the attention of the content consumer. In response, the presentation can be paused. If the user is not interested in watching the ad, the ad can be skipped, but if the user is interested, the ad will not be missed. Such can mitigate unnecessary expenses for advertisers where their ads are played, but ignored by the content consumer.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2013Publication date: March 22, 2018Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Martin Brandt Freund, Yuanying Xie
