  • Patent number: 10115146
    Abstract: Implementations include systems and methods for scoring candidates for set recommendation problems. An example method includes repeating, for each code in code arrays for items in a set of items, determining a most common value for the code. In some implementations, the method includes determining that the most common value occurs with a frequency that meets an occurrence threshold and adding the code and the most common value to set-inclusion criteria. In other implementations, the method includes determining a value for the code from a code array for a seed item and adding the code and the most common value to set-inclusion criteria when the value for the code from the code array for the seed item matches the most common value. The method may also include evaluating a similarity with a candidate item based on the set-inclusion criteria and basing a recommendation regarding the candidate item on the similarity.

  • Patent number: 10089703
    Abstract: Land use rights management where land use rights are represented as bounded space, and portions of rights are represented as portions of whole rights. The portions are specifically designated subspaces within the bounded space. Rights or ownership interests can be determined by a set or array of interests as indicated by separate computer objects. Conveyances that indicate a split of rights causes the generation of multiple separate interests. Conveyances that indicate a merger of rights can cause the generation of a merged interest where rights from multiple sources can be combined in one interest as indicated by a single computer object. The merged interest can reduce the number of individual rights in the set to enable the computer to perform more efficient computation of ownership interests.

  • Publication number: 20180255070
    Abstract: A server computer receives an indication of an interaction between a first user device of a first user and a second user device of a second user, where the interaction includes a message for transmission from the first user to the second user. The server computer performs a verification process on the message, including performing one or more binary checks on the message. The server computer then generates a response indicating whether the message is a legitimate message based on the verification process. When the response indicates that the message is a legitimate message, the server computer transmits the message to the second user device of the second user for display.

  • Publication number: 20180227250
    Abstract: A server automatically generates a response on behalf of a first user to a request received from a second user. The server receives configuration information for configuring automatic response generation for the first user, including information identifying the first user, information specifying a type of service provided by the first user including a plurality of parameters that define details for the service, and information providing an availability of the first user to provide the specified type of service. A request is received from the second user. The first user is selected from multiple users to respond to the request. A response is automatically generated using at least some of the received configuration information. The response is automatically transmitted to the second user on behalf of the first user.

  • Patent number: 10027887
    Abstract: The technology relates to transitioning between panoramic imagery and the imagery from which the panoramic imagery was generated. Individual images of a portion of a scene may be combined to create a panoramic image of the entire scene. The individual images may be associated with the portion of the panoramic image which they form. The full panoramic image may then be displayed. Based on user input, a portion of the panoramic image may be zoomed-in on, and the individual image associated with that portion of the panoramic image may be displayed.
