Patent number: 9483652Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for enabling user privacy for content on a network includes receiving input from a first user instructing at least one change in user access to shared content provided by a network system. The change modifies the user access from an existing set of one or more users of the network system to a different set of one or more users of the network system. The method checks a privacy setting associated with each of one or more referred users of the network system who are referred to by the shared content. The privacy setting indicates whether the associated referred user is to be sent a notification indicating that the at least one change in user access has been instructed.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2013Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Doug Sherrets, Ajmal Arshan Asver, Zach Yeskel

Patent number: 8996616Abstract: Methods and systems that provide for cross-linking from composite images that include receiving, over a computer network, a source image and then associating a first identifier tag with a first object in the source image. A composite image is generated from the source image, wherein the composite image includes a cropped image of the first object. Then a first user is notified that the first identifier tag is associated with the first object in the cropped image and also includes a copy of the composite image. Additionally, the user can select the first object in the composite image and be linked to the source image that contains the selected first object where the first object is highlighted.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2012Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Balaji Srinivasan, Brett Rolston Lider, Zach Yeskel, Alison Boncha
