Patent number: 11287963Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for creating custom user interface (“UI”) controls. A networked computing service may determine that an action performed by a user of the service is likely to be repeated, based on previous actions performed by the user and/or other users, parameters of the action including characteristics of an item associated with the action, and other criteria. The networked computing service may generate, or recommend generation of, a custom UI control that automates performance of the action. The networked computing service may automatically determine parameters of the action, and may determine alternative parameters and/or alternative actions if the action cannot be performed using the determined parameters. Custom UI controls may be associated with various computing devices and/or other electronic devices, and categories of custom UI controls may be determined and displayed.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephan Josef Andrizzi, Kara Cavallaro, Jai Prakash Chabria, Nicole Dare, Kenneth DeLand, Nirav Praful Desai, Anindya Guha, Marc Hensley, Douglas James Herrington, Samuel Stevens Heyworth, Apoorva Iyer, Nitish Kumar, Hannah McClellan Richards, Jae Park, Amir Pelleg, Jessica Protasio, Daniel Benjamin Rausch, Laura Allison Ridlehoover, Jeffrey Rosenberg, John Shaw, Paul Warren Smart, Amirali Virani

Patent number: 10922743Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for performing actions based on user activation of custom user interface (“UI”) controls. A user of a networked computing service may activate a custom UI control by selecting the custom UI control (such as by touching the custom UI control displayed on a touchscreen display) to trigger the networked computing service to perform a predefined action associated with the custom UI control. In the event that the predefined action cannot be performed, the networked computing service may identify an alternative action that may be performed instead of the predefined action, optionally request user confirmation of the alternative action, and perform the alternative action.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2017Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Stephan Josef Andrizzi, Jai Prakash Chabria, Nicole Dare, Kenneth DeLand, Nirav Praful Desai, Anindya Guha, Marc Hensley, Douglas James Herrington, Samuel Stevens Heyworth, Apoorva Iyer, Nitish Kumar, Hannah McClellan Richards, Amir Pelleg, Jessica Protasio, Daniel Benjamin Rausch, Laura Allison Ridlehoover, Jeffrey Rosenberg, Paul Warren Smart, Amirali Virani

Publication number: 20200272316Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for creating custom user interface (“UP”) controls. A networked computing service may determine that an action performed by a user of the service is likely to be repeated, based on previous actions performed by the user and/or other users, parameters of the action including characteristics of an item associated with the action, and other criteria. The networked computing service may generate, or recommend generation of, a custom UI control that automates performance of the action.

Patent number: 10708543Abstract: A synchronous video communication session may be established between two devices having corresponding device profiles that are symmetrically or asymmetrically whitelisted with respect to each other. A first device located in a first environment may receive user input indicating a request to whitelist a second device located in a second environment. Whitelisting of the second device by the first device may cause a continuous live video stream to be presented on the second device. The continuous video stream may depict at least a portion of the first environment in which the first device is located. The continuous video stream may be initially at least partially obscured. Upon initiation of a video communication session between the first device and the second device, an audio stream may begin to be delivered between the devices and the video stream may no longer be obscured and a clear video image may be presented.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2017Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric Alan Breitbard, Michael Douglas McQueen, Robert Steven Murdock, Meng Li, Stephan Josef Andrizzi

Patent number: 10521854Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for selecting and displaying custom user interface (“UI”) controls. A user of a networked computing service may create custom UI controls that perform user-specified actions, and the networked computing service may present these custom UI controls as part of its user interface. The networked computing service may determine which of a set of custom UI controls to present based on criteria such as frequency or recency of recurring usage, a context or a category associated with the custom UI controls, user preferences, the status of a pending action, usage of similar custom UI controls by other users, or other criteria. The networked computing service may present an interface that enables further customization or modification of the custom UI controls.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2017Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephan Josef Andrizzi, Jai Prakash Chabria, Nicole Dare, Kenneth DeLand, Nirav Praful Desai, Anindya Guha, Marc Hensley, Douglas James Herrington, Samuel Stevens Heyworth, Apoorva Iyer, Nitish Kumar, Hannah McClellan Richards, Jae Park, Amir Pelleg, Jessica Protasio, Daniel Benjamin Rausch, Laura Allison Ridlehoover, Jeffrey Rosenberg, Paul Warren Smart, Amirali Virani

Patent number: 10332564Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for generating video tags associated with previously captured video data. During a recording mode, video data may be captured and uploaded to a server. In response to a command, video may be tagged and selected, for example for inclusion in a video summary. During a standby mode, video data may be captured and temporarily stored in a buffer. In response to the command, video data stored in the buffer prior to the command may be selected. The video data may be selected for further processing and/or uploaded to the server.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephan Josef Andrizzi, Alex Carter, Peter Van Tuyl Bentley, William Christopher Banta

Patent number: 10255946Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for allowing multiple devices to generate tags associated with video data captured by a single device. For example, a recording device may capture and upload video data and the multiple devices may generate tags identifying memorable moments. The tags may be used to generate a video summary, such as a single video summary for the captured video data that includes video data associated with tags generated by multiple devices. In addition, the tags may be associated with unique devices and may be used to generate multiple video summaries. For example, the tags may be used to generate individual video summaries for each of the multiple devices. Therefore, multiple devices may tag the captured video data to generate the single video summary and/or multiple individual video summaries.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2015Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephan Josef Andrizzi, Alex Carter, Peter Van Tuyl Bentley, William Christopher Banta
