  • Patent number: 11782910
    Abstract: An electronic device includes at least one memory and at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory. The at least one memory is configured to store a database. The at least one processor is configured to receive content metadata from a content provider based on a query from a first device. The at least one processor is also configured to identify a scenario and a keyword associated with the content metadata. The at least one processor is further configured to generate a recommendation based at least in part on content inferences associated with the first device stored in the database through relating the scenario to previously-identified scenarios and relating the keyword to previously-identified keywords. In addition, the at least one processor is configured to provide the recommendation.

  • Publication number: 20230125008
    Abstract: In a system which predicts useful actions for a user, a graph is used to permit better suggested actions. The graph includes base contexts which are related to time, place and occasion and augmented contexts which are related to device state and user actions. A base context together with one or more augmented contexts may provide a suggested action. Several alternative groupings of base contexts and augmented contexts is a scenario. A high-scoring suggested action from one of the scenarios is provided as the suggested action.

  • Patent number: 11604844
    Abstract: An electronic device for providing cross-domain recommendations includes a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The at least one processor is configured to receive one or more notifications of at least one user activity in a content provider application, build at least one query based on the one or more notifications, and provide the at least one query to a database, receive at least one cross-domain action from the database. The at least one processor is also configured to generate at least one cross-domain recommendation based on the cross-domain action and instruct an application to display the at least one cross-domain recommendation.

  • Patent number: 11538356
    Abstract: A method includes determining user content to be provided in a number of formats to a number of network-connected devices associated with a user. The number of network-connected devices are of a plurality of device types. The method further includes determining a fulfillment goal based at least in part on the user content, and generating a multi-fragment application package based at least in part on the respective device types of the number of network-connected devices. The multi-fragment data package includes an adaptable presentation layer that includes instructions for presenting respective fragments of the multi-fragment application package on the number of network-connected devices in accordance with the fulfillment goal. The method further includes providing the respective fragments of the multi-fragment application package to the number of network-connected devices.

  • Patent number: 11023262
    Abstract: An electronic device for providing content-backed user interface snippets includes a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The at least one processor is configured to transmit a content query for content in a domain to a content owner, receive a user interface object including display content and user interface data from the content owner, validate the user interface object according to display parameters, and display the display content. The at least one processor may also be configured to receive at least one user input associated with the display content and trigger at least one action based on the at least one user input. The at least one processor may further be configured to display the display content in a host application presentation layer of the electronic device.
