Patent number: 11720918Abstract: Merchants create ecommerce-enabled ad units advertising items offered by the merchants. The ad units contain functionality enabling customers to purchase the items by interacting with the ad units. The ad units have associated bid prices that the merchants agree to pay for sales through the ad units. The merchants provide the ad units to a broker. The broker publishes the ad units on web pages provided by publishers as comparison shop ad units that contain multiple ad units and functionality for navigating among them. A customer receiving a web page interacts with an ad unit to purchase the item. During the interactions, the broker dynamically updates the ad unit to conduct the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: David Chung, Rajas Moonka, Gokul Rajaram

Patent number: 11690009Abstract: A system and method are provided for automatically shutting off or reducing power to certain radios in a client device based on collected wireless network quality parameters. The wireless network quality parameters are collected from wireless networks by various client devices in communication with the wireless networks. The client devices report the wireless network quality parameters to a server. The server collects wireless network quality parameters from a plurality of client devices and analyses the wireless network quality parameters from the plurality of client devices to determine a network quality for the particular wireless networks. The network quality is stored in a network quality database maintained by the server. When it is determined that a device is in an area of weak signal coverage, power to its radio is automatically reduced or shut off until the device leaves the area.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Lawrence Jonathan Brunsman, Christian Sonntag, Rajas Moonka

Publication number: 20220078263Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling content distribution includes forwarding information associated with a user to a device operated by the user, the information being configured for use in selecting content from any of multiple content providers for a content distribution to the user. The method includes receiving, in response to the information, an edit of the information forwarded from the device. The edit identifies a first content provider and including a first modification of the content distribution regarding the first content provider. The method includes storing the edit in association with the information such that the first modification is taken into account in the content distribution. The method can be implemented using a computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Aitan Weinberg, Rajas Moonka, Brad H. Bender, Brian Axe, Oren E. Zamir, Gregor Hochmuth
