Publication number: 20150169744Abstract: A digital magazine server creates cover pages identifying relevant content items relevant to a user. Candidate feeds of content items are identified from various sources, such as user-defined sections of content items, social networking systems, external content providers, and recommended content. The digital magazine server retrieves content items from the candidate feeds and generates clusters including retrieved content items based at least in part on the content elements contained in the content items. The content items in various clusters are scored, and one or more content items are selected from each cluster. The selected content items are placed in a consolidated feed, which is used to create a cover page describing a digital magazine for presentation to a digital magazine server user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2014Publication date: June 18, 2015Inventors: Andrew David Walkingshaw, Boris Lev Aleksandrovsky, Xiaoyu Suzanne Fei, Evan R.

Patent number: 7376586Abstract: A voice portal supporting telephone to web server commerce is described. The voice portal allows users to access web servers using a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), optionally including the use of a secure sockets layer (SSL) protocol, to complete commercial transactions. Additionally, embodiments of the invention can employ a one word commerce model that abstracts the particular model used by various electronic commerce vendors' web sites. The one word commerce model permits a user to identify a product and signal her/his purchase intentions with a single word, phrase, or touch-tone command. The voice portal can then complete the transaction supplying the electronic commerce vendor necessary information about the purchaser, e.g., her/his address, telephone number, electronic mail address, credit card information, etc. As needed, the voice portal can prompt the purchaser for information.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1999Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Hadi Partovi, Roderick Steven Brathwaite, Angus Macdonald Davis, Michael S.

Publication number: 20020126813Abstract: A phone based loyalty rewards approach is described. The approach focuses on rewarding certain behaviors by maintaining a rewards balance usable for services such as free telephone calls. Users can be awarded some initial value of rewards balance at registration and then can earn additional rewards through their activities. Calls can be placed using voice dialing against a user supplied address book in one embodiment. Additionally, the rewards can be directly integrated with an advanced dial tone service offering and minutes spent on phone calls beyond the then available rewards balance charged to the user. The rewards are designed to encourage behaviors such as full and accurate registrations, regular usage, trying new features, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2001Publication date: September 12, 2002Inventors: Hadi Partovi, David T.
