SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING USER OFFERS BASED ON EFFICIENT ITERATIVE RECOMMENDATION STRUCTURES
Publication number: 20250054013Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing user offers based on efficient iterative recommendation structures. In various aspects, a server invokes a bi-directional look-up interface via a lookup request, where the bi-directional look-up interface is exposed via an electronic recommendation structure. The lookup request causes the bi-directional look-up interface to return a bi-directional recommendation value. The bi-directional recommendation value indicates a likelihood of a first user selecting a first offer or a second offer. The bi-directional recommendation value is transmitted via a computer network to a client device associated with the first user upon a determination that the likelihood meets or exceeds a recommendation threshold. The client device is operative to display at least one of the first offer or the second offer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Inventors: Taylor Griffin Smith, Jason Matthew White, Joseph David Albright, Tim G.

Publication number: 20250016395Abstract: In response to an indication of a transition in a live workout, a synchronization identifier as metadata is embedded in a portion of a video stream of the live workout. The portion of the video stream of the live workout is transmitted to a remote client exercise machine. A hardware state of the remote client exercise machine is updated based at least in part on the synchronization identifier, at least in part to synchronize the remote client exercise machine with the live workout. In response to an exercise machine joining a video stream of a live workout, a timeline comprising a set of events that are to occur over the course of the live workout is received. A portion of the video stream of the live workout is received, wherein the portion of the video stream has embedded a synchronization identifier.

Patent number: 12165161Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining a session record including properties visited by a consumer during a sample period and extracting, from the session record, a select group of properties associated with a particular category of a predetermined taxonomy of various marketplaces. A breadth value of the select group of properties visited during the sample period is determined according to a number of unique properties of the select group of properties. A depth value of the properties visited during the sample period is also determined according to an extent of consumer interaction with content of properties of the select group of properties. A change point, indicating a state transition along a purchase cycle, is determined based on variations in distributions more than one of the breadth, depth, and recency values without relying on an assumption of a specific parametric family. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2021Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter Willard Shankel, Matthew Robert Teshera, Bo Hong, Shanshan Wang, Varadha Sundaram, Matthew White
