  • Patent number: 9886701
    Abstract: Endorsement abuse detection via social interactions is described, including generating an endorsement log comprising an endorser identifier, a target identifier, endorsement data, and a token indicative of an endorsement event; analyzing the endorsement log with respect to a user aggregator and a target aggregator, to generate an online endorsement abuse candidate; generating an endorsement overlap graph for the online endorsement abuse candidate based on the endorsement log, the user aggregator and the target aggregator, wherein nodes of the endorsement overlap graph represent ones of the online endorsement abuse candidate, and edges represent a number of shared endorsements; and determining whether the endorsement event is authorized based an analysis of the endorsement overlap graph and an orthogonal signal at least one of transmitted and received by the ones of the online endorsement abuse candidate.

  • Patent number: 8462171
    Abstract: A digital imaging tool and a method for enhancing, or adjusting, a saturation contrast of a digital image is provided. The digital imaging tool may convert an original color space of a digital image to a second color space having a saturation channel. The digital imaging tool may define a function based, at least partially, on one or more user-provided parameters. Saturation values of pixels of the digital image, in the second color space, may be adjusted, or enhanced, by applying each of the saturation values to the defined function to produce corresponding enhanced saturation values. The second color space then may be converted back to the original color space and a saturation-enhanced version of the digital image may be presented and/or saved.
