System And Method For Augmenting Rich Media Content Using Multiple Content Repositories
US Patent:
2012018, Jul 19, 2012
Filed:
Jan 18, 2011
Appl. No.:
12/930787
Inventors:
Joseph L. Spears - Hayward CA, US
International Classification:
H04N 5/92, H04N 9/80
US Classification:
386244, 386239, 386E05009, 386E09011
Abstract:
Computer-implemented systems and methods for determining second content which was not selected by the user but which is related to first content which was selected by the user. For example, a system and method can be configured to receive, using one or more processors, first and second content where the first and second content are rich media (e.g., content containing audio or video elements). Systems and methods may be further configured where the relationship between the first content and second content are determined based on data or metadata of the first content (e.g., the title of the content or an episode number). Systems and methods may be further configured where the relationship between the first content and second content are determined based on scheduling data of the first content (e.g., the time and channel when the first content is transmitted).
Systems And Methods For Word Offensiveness Detection And Processing Using Weighted Dictionaries And Normalization
US Patent:
8296130, Oct 23, 2012
Filed:
Jan 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/696991
Inventors:
Joseph L. Spears - Hayward CA, US
Assignee:
Ipar, LLC - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
G06F 17/21, G06F 17/24, G06F 17/27
US Classification:
704 9, 704 1, 715271, 707754
Abstract:
Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for identifying language that would be considered obscene or otherwise offensive to a user or proprietor of a system. A plurality of offensive words are received, where each offensive word is associated with a severity score identifying the offensiveness of that word. A string of words is received. A distance between a candidate word and each offensive word in the plurality of offensive words is calculated, and a plurality of offensiveness scores for the candidate word are calculated, each offensiveness score based on the calculated distance between the candidate word and the offensive word and the severity score of the offensive word. A determination is made as to whether the candidate word is an offender word, where the candidate word is deemed to be an offender word when the highest offensiveness score in the plurality of offensiveness scores exceeds an offensiveness threshold value.
Method And System For Predicting Association Item Affinities Using Second Order User Item Associations
US Patent:
2012024, Sep 27, 2012

Jeffrey D. Brandstetter - San Francisco CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707749, 707E17005
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for determining an affinity score of a source entity and a target entity without consideration of data that directly links the source entity and the target entity. An intermediate entity that is relatable to a source entity is identified. A target entity is identified that is relatable to an intermediate entity. A similarity score is calculated identifying a degree of similarity between the source entity and the intermediate entity, or the target entity and the intermediate entity. An affinity score is calculated of the source entity and the intermediate entity, or the target entity and the intermediate entity. An affinity score of the source entity and the target entity is determined based on the similarity score and the affinity score.

Systems And Methods For Dynamic Generation Of Multiple Content Alternatives For Content Management Systems
US Patent:
2011019, Aug 4, 2011
Filed:
Jan 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/697013
Inventors:
Joseph L. Spears - Hayward CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/30, G06F 21/24
US Classification:
707609, 726 1, 707E17005
Abstract:
Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided that include receiving data or metadata for first content or data or metadata related to the first content. A first alternative for the first content is generated, where the first alternative is based upon the data or metadata for the first content or data or metadata for content related to the first content. A selection of the first alternative is received, where the selection of the first alternative generates first additional data or metadata for the first content or first additional data or metadata for content related to the first content. One or more second alternatives corresponding to the first content are dynamically generated, where a second alternative in the one or more second alternatives is based upon the generated first additional data or metadata for the first content or first additional data or metadata for content related to the first content.

International Classification:
G06F 21/00
US Classification:
726 21
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for delegating permissions of a content provider for a content item to a delegate.
