Appl. No.:

12/017976

Inventors:

Laurent An Minh Nguyen - Los Altos CA, US
Steven Ka Cheung Moy - San Francisco CA, US
John T. Kim - La Canada CA, US

Assignee:

Amazon Technologies Inc. - Reno NV

International Classification:

G06F 15/18
G06F 17/21
G06F 17/20

US Classification:

706 14, 706 20, 706 21, D14370, D14570, D14138 R

Abstract:

A method for providing digital works based on user preferences is described. Data associated with a plurality of digital works is analyzed. The plurality of digital works are classified based on the data analysis and on a first list and on a second list. The first list includes preferred words, and the second list includes non-preferred words. One or more digital works from the plurality of digital works are transmitted. The one or more digital works transmitted were classified as works to be transmitted using the first list.

US Classification:

345173, 715256, 715831

Abstract:

A method is disclosed for specifying textual input for a computing device using a multi-directional input device. Each character of a textual group is associated with a different angle. Each character of the textual group is displayed on a display screen at the associated angle. A swipe angle of a directional swipe received at a multi-directional pointing device is determined. The associated angle closest to the swipe angle is identified. The character of the textual group corresponding to the identified angle on the display screen is highlighted.

Appl. No.:

13/170182

Inventors:

STEVEN KA CHEUNG MOY - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Amazon Technologies, Inc. - Reno NV

International Classification:

G06F 13/42

US Classification:

713400

Abstract:

Some embodiments enable a first electronic device (e.g., a notebook computer) to obtain state information directly from another electronic device (e.g., a smartphone) so that the first electronic device may replicate a state of content of the other computing device. This is useful when a user of an electronic device desires to switch between one device and another device such that the user may continue an activity (e.g., playing a video game) on another device without having to restart the activity. This is also useful when a user of a first electronic device attempts to replicate the state of the activity on a second device from another user such that both users may participate in the same activity. In some embodiments, a user of a device may obtain content from a server and state information from another device to replicate the state of content on the other device.

Inventors:

- Menlo Park CA, US
Phillip Porras - Cupertino CA, US
Steven Cheung - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

Abstract:

A correlator that includes a number of modules cooperating with each other. A transaction correlation module correlates network flow information for one or more network packet flows corresponding to one or more host-agent network-transaction records on whom participated in a network packet flow. The host-agent network-transaction records at least contain source information. A host input module to take in the host-agent network-transaction records from each host agent on its host computing device connecting to the correlator. A merged record creator creates a merged record for corresponding matches of one or more of the host-agent network-transaction records to one or more of the network packet flows. The merged record gives the network policy enforcement module a complete picture of both the network traffic flow information along with the source information that participated in the network packet flows in order to apply network polices against the network packet flows.

International Classification:

G06F 3/01
G06K 9/00

Abstract:

A low distraction interface can be provided for an electronic device by monitoring information such as a gaze direction of a user. A device can be configured to only display information to a user when the user is looking substantially toward the device, and can be configured to present that information in a way that is of minimal distraction to others nearby. The user can control aspects of the display by looking away from the device, continuing to look at the device for a period of time, or otherwise providing input without physically interacting with the device. Such an approach can be beneficial for settings such as business meetings where a user might want to obtain information from the device but does not want to appear inconsiderate by picking up and checking information on the device.
