Publication number: 20210028850Abstract: Aspects of mmWave beam tracking and beam sweeping are described, for example, spatial searching operations, directional beam forming, complex channel measurement operations, and adaptive power savings. Some aspects include using priori information for mmWave beam tracking and beam sweeping. Some aspects include using priori information to modify a superset of beam criteria to obtain a subset of beam criteria, select a spatial region according to the subset of beam criteria, and initiate a spatial searching operation within the spatial region for establishing a communication link. Some aspects include obtaining complex channel measurements of beams and combining the measurements with priori information to determine a beam for use in a communication link.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2018Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Brent Elliott, Benjamin Grewell, Tom Harel, Junyoung Nam, Hosein Nikopour, Oner Orhan, Susruth Sudhakaran, Shilpa Talvvar, Ping Wang, Liang Xian, Xiaodi Zhang

Publication number: 20190138540Abstract: In various exemplary embodiments, a system and associated method predict auto-complete recommendations for a partial search request. A search engine receives a partial search request with one or more characters from a client device. A first set of auto-complete recommendations corresponding to the one or more characters of the partial search request are identified. A second partial search request is predicted that comprises a set of characters with one or more additional characters added to the one or more characters from the partial search request. A second set of auto-complete recommendations corresponding to the second partial search request is identified. The first set of auto-complete recommendations and the second set of auto-complete recommendations are returned to the client device as a response to the partial search request.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2018Publication date: May 9, 2019Inventors: Wenyan Hu, Xiaodi Zhang, Alvaro Bolivar, Randall Scott Shoup

Patent number: 10185762Abstract: In various exemplary embodiments, systems and associated methods to predict search results in an electronic environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method to provide responses to a search request includes receiving, from an end-user, one or more characters that form a portion of the search request. Prior to receiving a completed version of the search request from the end-user, a plurality of keywords is predicted based on the one or more characters. The prediction is based on the most probable keywords selected from a plurality of prior requests stored in a database. A plurality of responses is prepared based on the most probable keywords. The responses are fit within a single communications packet and returned as a reply to the search request. Other systems and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2015Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Wenyan Hu, Xiaodi Zhang, Alvaro Bolivar, Randall Scott Shoup

Patent number: 9529919Abstract: A system and method for providing a suggested store at or through which to purchase a product or service. When a user enters a query for a product or service into a user interface, the system may use the query as a search argument to search files to find one or more pictures illustrating information about a product or service represented by the query. The picture could illustrate where the queried product or service may be purchased. Auto-complete processes may also be used to process the query as it is being entered, to generate an auto-suggestion key word based on fewer than all the letters of the query, to use as a search argument for the search. Both the query and the auto-suggestion key word may be used as search arguments to find the relevant picture in a variety of search logic sequences to provide the picture to the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2014Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Xiaodi Zhang, Jun Hang
