Patent number: 10002355Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating a payment to an owner of a media file for enabling the consumption of the media file. In one embodiment, a jukebox service transmits a plurality of media files to a plurality of users for consumption, wherein the media files are served up from a plurality of cloud drives associated with the users. A license service determines whether the consumption comprises at least one of a download, a purchase and an execution of the media files. Then, the license service facilitates a payment to the owner of the media files if a payment is owed to the owner. In one embodiment, the payment owed to the owner may be based on the type of consumption of the media files.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2011Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Scott Dixon

Patent number: 9026932Abstract: A user interface for a touch-screen display of a computing device is described. The user interface has an edge navigation feature designed to facilitate navigation through digital content items, such as electronic books, in response to user input received via the touch-screen display. This navigation may be to an arbitrary point within the content, or to previously defined bookmarks. The user interface provides a representation of a virtual edge of the content object, such as a book or album. Presentation of this virtual edge, overlaid with bookmark indicators, allows the user to spatially visualize the position of content within the book, and select a desired location or bookmark.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2010Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Scott Dixon

Patent number: 8951120Abstract: Systems and methods for calibration and biasing are described herein. In one example, a method for determining a playing height of a user is described. The method includes receiving an identification of a first corner of a display screen from the user by associating a first position of a tracked object with the first corner using image data from a capture device, receiving an identification of a second corner of the display screen from the user by associating a second position of the tracked object with the second corner using image data from the capture device, and triangulating between the first and second corners and the tracked object to define a range of movement made by the user. The tracked object is held by the user. The method further includes defining a height at which the tracked object is held by the user based on the range of movement.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Sony Computer Entertainment America LLCInventors: Michael Seegers, Mark Ming-lun Tsai, Jeff Scott Dixon, Sean Hyde-Moyer, Deborah Mars, Nathan Gary

Patent number: 8949958Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for determining if a requesting client is within a predetermined distance of a location of a trusted client. In one embodiment, a trusted signal having a plurality of trusted signal metrics may be established by the trusted client as being associated with a specified location. The trusted signal may then be rendered to the requesting client to be recorded as a contested signal. In one embodiment, an authentication service may then determine if the contested signal is of an adequate signal quality according a predetermined quality threshold. Assuming the contested signal is of an adequate quality, the authentication service then determines that the requesting client is within a common acoustic environment as the trusted client if the contested signal corresponds to the trusted signal by comparing a plurality of contested signal metrics with a plurality of trusted signal metrics.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2011Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Scott Dixon

Patent number: 8281258Abstract: Optimized object traversal techniques are presented to move an object focus in an intuitive manner in a display interface using a navigational controller. The optimized object traversal enables two-directional movement (e.g., up, down, left, right, or other direction) of the object focus and not confined to a sequential movement order. The optimized object traversal may vary an order of the object focus selection between objects based on a selection path of a user (e.g., which object previously had the object focus). The optimized object traversal techniques use an edge point on the object having a current object focus to identify a next object to receive the object focus. Objects may be identified based on an orthogonal alignment, a distance from the edge point, a container order (e.g., in tie breaking instances) and/or by a coded assignment.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2010Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Amazon Technologies Inc.Inventors: Scott Dixon, Donald Ryan Willhoit
