  • Patent number: 12602265
    Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronized locking of network data records are disclosed. A system can provide, at a first client device and a second client device, respective application interfaces for generating a shared network data record. The system can receive a first selection of a first data structure from the first client device and a second selection of a second data structure from the second client device, and synchronize the selections between the interfaces. A lock message for the shared network data record can be received from the first client device. Upon determining that the first client device has confirmed the first selection and the second client device has confirmed the second selection, the system can generate, based on the lock message, an association between the shared network data record and a network profile of the first client device according to the confirmed selections.

  • Patent number: 12579186
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image-based network operations are disclosed. A system can receive image data from a capture device, the image data comprising a plurality of pixels representing an environment. The system can generate a set of values from the plurality of pixels, each value representative of an attribute or category associated with one of a plurality of live events. The system can filter the set of values by matching a subset of the set of values to one or more predetermined values. The system can execute a search operation according to at least one value of the subset to generate a set of search results comprising a plurality of content items, each content item corresponding to a respective live event. The system can update a graphical user interface to present at least a subset of the plurality of content items.

  • Patent number: 12579147
    Abstract: Systems and methods for local network search optimization based on timers are disclosed. A system can receive first image data from a capture device, the first image data comprising a plurality of first pixels representing an environment. The system can generate a first set of values from the plurality of first pixels and initiate a timer corresponding to the first image data. Generation of additional values from further image data captured by the device can be restricted prior to expiration of the timer. Upon determining that the timer has expired, the system can generate a second set of values from a plurality of second pixels of second image data received from the capture device. The system can then execute a search operation using at least one first value of the second set of values.

  • Patent number: 12477036
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating network data structures from local peripheral signals are disclosed. A system can receive image data from a capture device, where the image data includes a plurality of pixels. The system can determine that the plurality of pixels depict a visual representation of a first data record satisfying a predetermined criterion, the first data record corresponding to a set of data record parameters. The system can generate a set of data from the first data record using a subset of the plurality of pixels of the image data, and can transmit the set of data to at least one server, causing the server to identify a second data record based on the set of data record parameters. The system can present, via a graphical user interface, a content item representative of the second data record received from the server.
