Patent number: 10269388Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for an asset binder configured to select a media asset to be associated with a media segment that is represented in media seamline of a user interface at a client system, thereby creating a relationship between the media segment and the media asset. At the client system, in real-time, the media asset is layered upon the media segment in order to present the media asset in conjunction with playback of the media segment in the user interface. The relationship between the media segment and the media asset can be described as a parent-child relationship, such that media segment content and media asset content are not intermingled. The asset binder does not combine content of the media segment with content of the media asset within a rendered and compiled media file.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2007Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Ty Lettau, Ryan Tandy

Patent number: 9961296Abstract: A system renders a graphical representation of a timeline of a first video in a graphical user interface. The system receives a notification during playback of the first video at a first location in the first video. The notification indicates a request to playback the first video at a second location in the first video. The system determines that a second video is renderable during the first video between the first location and the second location. The system determines a viewing status associated with the user. The viewing status indicates whether the second video has been previously rendered for a user account on a client machine, and determines whether the user may view the first video at a second location in the first video, based on the viewing status associated with the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2007Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Ty Lettau, Kim Pimmel

Patent number: 9395866Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for summoning a palette to a cursor location is presented. An application is run, the application having a work area in a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The application includes at least one palette associated therewith. A cursor can be operated within the work area. An input is provided causing one of the at least one palette to be presented at a location adjacent the cursor, and wherein the palette is maintained at the location.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2007Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventor: Ty Lettau

Patent number: 8447750Abstract: Techniques for a rating system are described, including presenting a visual field including two or more axes, each axis representing a criterion associated with an asset, receiving a user rating associated with the asset, the user rating including a point on the visual field, and updating a presentation of the visual field to include the user rating. Further, techniques for spatial searching within the rating system are described, including presenting a visual field including two or more axes, each axis representing a criterion, receiving a search inquiry including a shape input on the visual field, searching assets in response to the search inquiry, and displaying a subset of the assets determined from the searching.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2012Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Ty Lettau, Gever Tulley, Robert S.
