Patent number: 10055494Abstract: A technology is described for providing plotline information associated with media content. An example method may include receiving a request from a customer via an interface for plotline information stored on a data store. The plotline information may be included in media content where the plotline information may include a plurality of plotlines featured in the narrative of the media content. The plotline information may then be identified in the data store, and a graphical visualization of the plotline information included in the media content may be generated, where the graphical visualization may display the plotline information as corresponding to the narrative of the media content.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2014Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew James Bordenet, Yann Thierry Oehl, Charles Benjamin Franklin Waggoner, Hilliard Bruce Siegel, Scott Thomas Moran, Tanya Salyers

Patent number: 9998554Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for tracking, in at least one computing device, a presentation of a plurality of items for a user, each item being associated with at least one respective category of a plurality of categories, and determining a user histogram that is customized for a user. A visual symbol may be generated based at least upon the user histogram for each category, each visual symbol comprising a visual characteristic for associating the visual symbol to the category and a graphical dimension of the visual symbol, wherein the graphical dimension correlates with the respective degree of interest associated with the category. Each visual symbol may be appended to one another to form a graphic identifier and a user interface encoded for rendering, where the user interface comprises the graphic identifier.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: IMDB.COM, INC.Inventor: Tanya Salyers

Patent number: 9473556Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a content discovery application. Content items can be selected by first selecting a sequence of descriptors. The descriptors are selected from a subset of descriptors regenerated based on previously selected descriptors and other factors. The content item is selected from a pool of content items responsive to the sequence of descriptors. Users may explore data derived from sequences of descriptors and selected content items from other users to discover content relevant to their interests.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2013Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: IMDb.com, Inc.Inventors: Tanya Salyers, Scott Thomas Moran, Yann Thierry Oehl, Hilliard Bruce Siegel

Publication number: 20160300182Abstract: In embodiments, a schema or map of bays for a venue is created; the schema may include dimensions, aisles, and the names of the POGs found in the venue. Within the schema, adjacent POGs and connected bays are determined. “POG configurations” for a POG (isolated or contiguous segments of a given POG within a venue) are determined. Each set of POG configurations for a POG in a venue is a “layout” of the POG. Layouts are compared across venues and a graphical user interface gets and displays information so that a POG and adjacent POGs can be compared across venues for a merchant.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2016Publication date: October 13, 2016Inventors: Tanya Salyers, Evan Jacobs, Zachary M. Lawson, Arun Veettil, Keane Watterson, Dustin Brownell, Steighton Lee Haley, Preet Bawa, Michael Moricz

Patent number: 9355173Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for forming relationships among items to enhance user experiences in navigating a content database. A user may initiate a request to associate a keyword or label with an item. The keyword may be associated with the user to form a user-keyword association and may be associated with the item to form an item-keyword association. If the item-keyword association meets a predefined threshold, the keyword may be surfaced as a community keyword corresponding to the item.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2013Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: IMDb.com, Inc.Inventors: Tanya Salyers, Scott Thomas Moran, Yann Thierry Oehl, Hilliard Bruce Siegel, Jinesh Udaykumar Vora
