Patent number: 8892653Abstract: Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. Tuning parameters are pushed to a first user device operated by a first user the tuning parameters specifying weights and/or functions to be applied to data from one or more sensors on the first user device. Tuned data is received from the first user device, the tuned data representing data from the one or more sensors that has been tuned in accordance with the tuning parameters. Then potential membership of the first user in a first group of users is determined based on logical relationship information, by selecting the first group from a plurality of possible groups, the selecting being based on scores generated, for each of the plurality of possible groups, by a candidate scorer module using the tuned data.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: LinkedIn CorporationInventors: Vincent Mallet, Jessica Cheng, Noah Fiedel, Eric William Gillum, Ganesh Ramanarayanan, Nicholas James Woods

Patent number: 8886807Abstract: Example systems and methods of content sharing via social networking are presented. In one example, availability of a first user device to provide media content over a communication network is detected. A second user device is identified via an association of the first user device with the second user device that is specified in a social network. An acceptance by the second user device to receive the media content from the first user device is determined. In response to the acceptance, transmission of the media content provided by the first user device over the communication network to the second user device is initiated.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: LinkedInInventors: Bill Nguyen, Vincent Mallet, Nicholas Woods, Jessica Cheng, Sandip Chokshi, Ganesh Ramanarayanan, Megan Streich

Patent number: 8880609Abstract: Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. Logical relationship information describing one-to-one logical relationships among a first user and other users are recorded. Then content from a first user device of the first user and content from a second user device of the second user are received. Based on a determination that the content from the first user device and the content from the second user device were received within a preset amount of time of each other, a first user group in which to add the first user and the second user is created. Then it is determined whether to remove the first or second user from the first user group based on the logical relationship information and the content.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: LinkedIn CorporationInventors: Vincent Mallet, Jessica Cheng, Noah Fiedel, Eric William Gillum, Ganesh Ramanarayanan, Nicholas James Woods

Patent number: 8868739Abstract: Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. First, logical relationship information can be recorded, the logical relationship information describing logical relationships between a first user and other users, the logical relationship information associated with a social networking service. Communications between the first user and the other users, the communications being of at least two different types of communications, may be monitored.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: LinkedIn CorporationInventors: Vincent Mallet, Jessica Cheng, Noah Fiedel, Eric William Gillum, Ganesh Ramanarayanan, Nicholas James Woods

Publication number: 20140214950Abstract: Systems and methods for the transmission of content are provided. A user group is defined and a group data structure corresponding to the user group is stored. An item of content is received and stored as a child data structure of a parent data structure of the group data structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: Linkedln CorporationInventors: Vincent Mallet, Jessica Cheng, Noah Fiedel, Eric William Gillum, Ganesh Ramanarayanan, Nicholas James Woods

Publication number: 20140214949Abstract: Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. In one example, logical relationship information between a first user and other users are recorded. Communications between the first users and other users are monitored, and content is received from the first user, the content having associated metadata. A first group to add the first user to is determined based on the logical relationship information, the communications, the content, and the metadata.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: Linkedln CorporationInventors: Vincent Mallet, Jessica Cheng, Noah Fiedel, Eric William Gillum, Ganesh Ramanarayanan, Nicholas James Woods

Publication number: 20140214952Abstract: Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. In one example, a message received at a user device from a server system, the message indicating that a user of the user device has been added to a logical group of users. Then content may be transmitted from the user device to the server system for distribution to the logical group of users. Then, in response to determination that the user device has been out of communication with the server system for a predetermined period of time a determination is made, utilizing a coasting module on the user device, that the user should be removed from the logical group of users based on a factor other than a length of time the user device has been out of communication with the server system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: Linkedln CorporationInventors: Vincent Mallet, Jessica Cheng, Noah Fiedel, Eric William Gillum, Ganesh Ramanarayanan, Nicholas James Woods

Publication number: 20140214954Abstract: Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. In one example, a message including location information indicating a geographic location of a first user device is received from the first user device. Values representing logical connection strengths between the first user device and other user devices are calculated using the location information. A first device group is determined for the first user device based on the calculating of the values representing the logical connection strengths, the first device group including a plurality of the other user devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: Linkedln CorporationInventors: Vincent Mallet, Jessica Cheng, Noah Fiedel, Eric William Gillum, Ganesh Ramanarayanan, Nicholas James Woods

Publication number: 20140214953Abstract: Systems and methods for adding a first user to a first group of users are presented. First, logical relationship information describing logical relationships among a plurality of users is accessed. Then potential membership of a first user in a first group of users is determined based on the logical relationship information, by selecting the first group from a plurality of possible groups, the selecting being based on scores generated, for each of the plurality of possible groups, by a candidate scorer module, the scores based at least partially on a loneliness score for the first user. Then the first user is added to the first group of users.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: LinkedIn CorporationInventors: Vincent Mallet, Jessica Cheng, Noah Fiedel, Eric William Gillum, Ganesh Ramanarayanan, Nicholas James Woods
