Patent number: 11233758Abstract: Method, systems, and computer-readable for selectively sharing media among two or more client devices. Initially, media (e.g., image(s), video, audio, text, etc.) can be rendered via a first client device. Portions of the media rendered on a first client device can be selectively encoded, thereby masking the selectively encoded portions. The media can then be shared, including the encoded portions, with a second client device. Using the first client device, an operation can be implemented for authorizing decoding of the portions of the media by the second client device, thereby allowing the decoded portions of the media to be rendered by the second client device without masking.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2015Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Nadav Golbandi, Oren Shlomo Somekh, Rodrigo Setti, Srinivas Raovasudeva

Patent number: 10929758Abstract: Disclosed herein is an enhanced device personalization that personalizes a user's experience with a device, e.g., a multi-user device. Rather than personalizing based on the specific user(s) that are using, an active entity, which represents a type of consumption, may be generated and used to make recommendations for personalizing an experience using the device. In a case of a multi-user device, each user's experience is personalized by determining an active entity for the user's experience and without knowledge of which user is using the device.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: VERIZON MEDIA INC.Inventors: Eshcar Hillel, Michal Aharon, Nadav Golbandi

Patent number: 10664484Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content generating, searching, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods leverage the display screen sizes of information cards to improve the accuracy and efficiency of displayed search results. The disclosed systems and methods can be implemented in search and recommendation systems for optimally performing a search and displaying the results of the search based on, among other features, the size of the cards providing each search result and the display size of the screen displaying such results.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2016Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: OATH INC.Inventors: Nadav Golbandi, Xing Yi, Liangjie Hong
