  • Patent number: 10454943
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and computer implemented methods for generating a virtual or augmented reality-based oversight system of business processes at a location remote from where the business process is executed. In one example, system operations include identifying a process-based operation performed at a physical first location, where the operation is associated with a request for oversight from a remote second location. A current state of the operation at the first location is identified, and at least one input source at the first location is identified. A simulation of the current state of the operation at the first location incorporating input from the input source(s) is generated for presentation at the second location. An action performed at the first location in the current state of the operation is identified, and the second location is then transmitted a request to authorize the identified action.

  • Patent number: 10437902
    Abstract: Various embodiments identify candidate phrases users have used to reference a product in previous searches by analyzing query logs of a search engine. Upon identifying a candidate phrase within a volume of unstructured text, the candidate phrase is compared against a corpus of contemporary language. A frequency of each candidate phrase in contemporary language and the same in the query logs are determined and used as an indication to distinguish between genuine product references in the text or their normal use in common language in order to determine whether the volume of unstructured text is suitable, based on the number of references, for a hyperlink to a product page for the product of an electronic marketplace. Furthermore, behavioral data associated with user interaction with various aspects of the hyperlinks can be tracked over time to better identify suitable product references and tailor future hyperlink suggestions.

  • Patent number: 10432944
    Abstract: A system and methods for a CODEC driving a real-time light field display for multi-dimensional video streaming, interactive gaming and other light field display applications is provided applying a layered scene decomposition strategy. Multi-dimensional scene data is divided into a plurality of data layers of increasing depths as the distance between a given layer and the plane of the display increases. Data layers are sampled using a plenoptic sampling scheme and rendered using hybrid rendering, such as perspective and oblique rendering, to encode light fields corresponding to each data layer. The resulting compressed, (layered) core representation of the multi-dimensional scene data is produced at predictable rates, reconstructed and merged at the light field display in real-time by applying view synthesis protocols, including edge adaptive interpolation, to reconstruct pixel arrays in stages (e.g. columns then rows) from reference elemental images.

  • Patent number: 10416851
    Abstract: A content publisher can use a publisher tool to tag various content elements, which enables a user viewing content from the publisher to view related advertising. In at least some embodiments, the tool is a toolbar that the publisher can use to tag content elements such as images and text, whereby the toolbar can recommend related items to be linked to those content elements. The items can be associated with an entity, such as an advertiser or electronic retailer, that will provide some level of compensation to the publisher in return for the linking. Such an approach enables the publisher to monetize the content in a way that is minimally intrusive for the end user.

  • Publication number: 20190244244
    Abstract: Various embodiments enable a user editing a document to tag product references in the document. These product references can then be recognizable when the document is published online, thereby enabling ad units (or other personalized units associated with the content) to be inserted either at a location associated with a particular product reference or within the document in a designated location. For example, when editing or drafting a document, a client-side tool could enable a user to tag particular words within the text to create a hyperlink to product pages of an electronic marketplace. In another example, a client-side tool could auto-insert a list of words associated with subject matter of the same. Accordingly, mentions of these words in content could be auto-converted into text-links or hyperlinks to a respective items page of the electronic marketplace.

  • Patent number: 10355955
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and computer implemented methods for implementing a resource allocation and adjusting resource usage and spending based on information received from a plurality of network-connected devices. One example method includes identifying a new connected device replacing an existing device associated with a resource allocation, the resource allocation defining an expected resource usage for a plurality of devices (including the existing device), obtaining historical resource usage information associated with the existing device, identifying the existing device's operational parameters, and determining an expected resource usage for the new connected device after replacement. A change in the expected resource usage in the resource allocation is calculated based on the obtained historical resource usage information associated with the existing device and the expected resource usage amount for the new connected device.

  • Patent number: 10346916
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods and systems that facilitate automate trade-order entry and execution based on social media messaging. In one embodiment, an apparatus may receive, from a social-networking service, social media data that includes various social media messages associated with social-networking accounts of various users. The apparatus may detect an occurrence of a predetermined element of content within a first social media message associated with a social networking account of a first user, and may extract data identifying at least one parameter of an action from the first social media message. The apparatus may generate proposed transaction parameters that include the at least one extracted action parameter, and in response to a confirmation of the proposed transaction parameters, the apparatus may generate one or more electronic commands to initiate a performance of the action in accordance with the confirmed transaction parameters.

  • Patent number: 10282757
    Abstract: Certain embodiments herein relate to targeting ads for purchase by leveraging relationships between advertisers and publishers. Ad campaigns may be established between an ad device associated with an advertiser and publisher devices associated with publishers. An ad campaign for displaying an ad may be determined based on information associated with a communication session from a user device (e.g., as identified in a cookie) and/or information associated with a user utilizing the user device. An ad device may activate one or more established ad campaigns as part of an auction process, and may subsequently provide one or more ads for displaying on a web page according to attributes that may characterize the ad campaigns.

  • Patent number: 10193756
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and computer-implemented methods for implementing a resource allocation and adjusting resource usage and spending based on information received from a plurality of network-connected devices. One example method is performed by identifying a master resource allocation associated with a plurality of connected devices and monitoring, at a device hub, resource usage information associated with at least one connected device. The device hub compares the monitored resource usage information associated with the at least one connected device to the master resource allocation for the plurality of connected devices, and, in response to the comparison, calculates at least one adjustment in operation for a particular connected device from the plurality of connected devices based on the monitored resource usage information.
