Publication number: 20190182769Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2019Publication date: June 13, 2019Inventors: Lawrence Jonathan Brunsman, Christian Sonntag, Rajas Moonka

Patent number: 10268739Abstract: The subject matter of the disclosure is embodied in a method that includes identifying a user-list which is based on owned or permissioned data, wherein the user-list is associated with a corresponding owner database. The method also includes providing an application programming interface (API) configured to communicate with the owner database, and receiving, from the owner database through the API, metadata related to the user-list. The metadata at least includes data describing a category for the user-list. The method further includes storing in a searchable database a user-list identifier corresponding to the user-list and the associated metadata, and providing a user-interface that includes the user-list identifier and the corresponding associated metadata. The user-interface is configured to receive one or more management instructions related to the user-list from a user-list subscriber.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Rajas Moonka, Alexei Y.

Publication number: 20180349952Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2018Publication date: December 6, 2018Applicant: Google LLCInventors: David Chung, Rajas Moonka, Gokul Rajaram

Publication number: 20180121934Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a computer-implemented method for controlling access to user-related data including electronically registering a plurality of data providers with a computer-implemented data exchange. The method further includes electronically registering a plurality of data buyers with the computer-implemented data exchange. The method further includes mediating a data sharing arrangement between one or more of the data buyers and one or more of the data providers, the data sharing arrangement defining prices and permitted uses of data provided by the one or more data providers to the one or more data buyers. The method further includes enforcing, on behalf of the one or more data providers, one or more restrictions imposed by the data sharing arrangement on the one or more data buyers.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2017Publication date: May 3, 2018Inventors: Anurag Agarwal, Rajas Moonka, Raghava Hassan Nanjunda Swamy, Oren E.

Publication number: 20180005265Abstract: 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: September 18, 2017Publication date: January 4, 2018Inventors: Aitan Weinberg, Rajas Moonka, Brad H.
