Patent number: 11373157Abstract: Smart table devices determine aspects associated with individual and items at a table. Sensors associated with a table are used to determine a location of each individual from a group of individuals at the table. The sensors also determine the location of a first item on the table. The first item is automatically associated with a first individual from the group of individuals based on proximity of the location of the first item on the table to the location of the first individual at the table. It is also determined using the sensors that the first individual has consumed at least a portion of the first item.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2018Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventor: Roy Leon Camp

Publication number: 20220188094Abstract: Systems and methods for centralized client application management are provided. In an example embodiment, a client state is received from a mobile device at a management device. The client state comprises information about a particular application. A first instruction for the mobile device is generated by one or more hardware processors. The first instruction comprises an instruction to the mobile device to prevent user interaction with a user interface of a particular application. The first instruction is communicated to the mobile device, and the mobile device performs the first instruction to prevent user interaction with the user interface of the particular application.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2022Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Roy Leon Camp, Gireesh Sreepathi, Hui Chen, Frederick van Voorden

Patent number: 11301510Abstract: In an example embodiment, a selection of an image in a user interface is received. Then information about the image is received. Then a look is identified for the image, wherein the look is a category for the image based at least in part on one or more visual attributes of the image as shown in the image The identified look is then compared with one or more item listings stored in a database to identify one or more matching item listings, the one or more matching item listings containing associated images that correspond to the look. Finally, the one or more matching item listings are displayed in the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Emily Zhang, Roy Leon Camp, Chenhao Alex Ma

Patent number: 11294659Abstract: Systems and methods for centralized client application management are provided. In an example embodiment, device data is received from a user device. The user device is identified according to an identification rule. A client state is received from the user device. A match between the client state and a specified state is determined. Based on the client state matching the specified state, an instruction to be performed on the user device is generated. The instruction is caused to be performed on the user device. The instruction causes a change to the client state stored on the user device.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Roy Leon Camp, Gireesh Sreepathi, Hui Chen, Frederik van Voorden

Patent number: 10096011Abstract: There are provided systems and method for smart table devices and accessories for determining ordering aspects and bills. A smart table may include one or more modules, devices, and/or accessory devices that determine aspects of users and items associated with the smart table, such as movements of the users, quantities of items located on the table, or other aspects. The aspects may be communicated to a merchant device to determine information about the users and items, such as if the user requires attention or if a drink is empty. Based on the information, notifications may be generated, which may be communicated to a merchant or merchant employee to provide assistance or service to the table. The information may also be utilized to generate and update historical sales statistics for the merchant, such as commonly ordered items, time until receipt of service or food, and preferred payment methods.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2015Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventor: Roy Leon Camp

Patent number: 10032159Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for delegating spending from a user device, such as a parent's smart telephone, to another device, such as a child's smart telephone. In this manner, the owner of the other device, e.g., the child, can be allowed to purchase products. Restrictions can be placed upon the spending ability of the other device. For example, in order for the spending to be done, the other device can be required to be within a certain distance of the user device. Thus, purchases by the owner of the other device, e.g., the child, can be supervised.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Nathan Lyman, Roy Leon Camp
