Dynamic Definitive Image Service

View page
US Patent:
20130173603, Jul 4, 2013
Filed:
Dec 30, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/340721
Inventors:
Justin Hamilton - Bellevue WA, US
Troy MA - Bellevue WA, US
Kun Wu - Redmond WA, US
Bing Lang - Beijing, CN
Xiaowei Sheng - Beijing, CN
Avinash Vemuluru - Redmond WA, US
Paul Borza - Bellevue WA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707723, 707E17014
Abstract:
A representative image system is described herein that provides a representative image for any given search query. Upon receiving a search for a term (or terms), the system accesses an inverted index to identify images associated with that term. The system then receives a ranked list of images. The ranked list includes image identifiers, and once an item in the list is selected the system can use the associated image identifier to retrieve the image from a thumbnail or other server. If an editor has overridden the default image for the present search query, then the system returns the image identifier for the overridden image, which can be used to access the image from the thumbnail or other server. Thus, the representative image system provides a reliable and universal mechanism for retrieving representative images for any given topic dynamically in real time.

US Patent:
20170032386, Feb 2, 2017
Filed:
Aug 1, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/815992
Inventors:
Paul Valentin Borza - Redmond WA, US
International Classification:
G06Q 30/02
G06N 99/00
G06F 17/30
Abstract:
Finding early-stage companies (i.e. startup companies) on track to becoming successful may be achieved by predicting future growth of the Internet assets owned or associated with a company. Machine learning algorithms like regression analysis techniques may be employed on past discrete-time data depicting growth of the assets, such as daily page views of the official website of the company and number of downloads of the company applications made available in mobile application stores, in order to predict future growth. A growth score which depicts potential future business success of a company may be generated and sorted by so that the companies are ranked into an ordered list. Further, job listings from each of the companies may be nested in the ranked list of the companies, which allows career-driven professionals to discover and join startup companies on track to becoming successful at a very early stage.

Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Paul Valentin Borza - Redmond WA, US
Ovidiu Dan - Kirkland WA, US
Vaibhav Parikh - Bothell WA, US
Kumar Srinivasamurthy - Bellevue WA, US

The act of setting up a user's device to participate in a meeting may be performed automatically, using location information and calendar information. With appropriate permission obtained from the user, the user's calendar and the location of the user's device are monitored. When the user's calendar indicates that the user is scheduled to be in a meeting and the user is in or approaching a conference room (or other type of room) associated with that meeting, the user's desktop, application, and meeting documents may be shared. The user's computer may be automatically connected to devices in the meeting room, and any audio/visual settings appropriate for the user's role in the meeting may be configured automatically. Alternatively, if the user is to participate in the meeting online, the online meeting may be joined automatically.

Detecting And Preventing Illicit Use Of Device

View page
US Patent:
20160314289, Oct 27, 2016
Filed:
Apr 24, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/695190
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Paul Valentin Borza - Redmond WA, US
International Classification:
G06F 21/31
G06F 3/0488
G06F 21/88
Abstract:
Illicit use of devices, and misappropriation of the data on those devices, may be prevented by detecting patterns of behavior that suggest illicit use, and by taking action when such illicit use is detected. A device may store information that describes suspicious patterns of use, and may also store information that describes normal patterns of use of known legitimate users. If current use of the device matches a suspicious pattern of use, and if the user of the device cannot be confirmed to be a known legitimate user, then action may be taken, such as locking the device's user interface, shutting down the device's communication facilities, issuing a warning message, sending a communication, or any other action.
