Patent number: 10908765Abstract: The invention provides a display interface in a social networking system that enables the presentation of information related to a user in a timeline or map view. The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system, including both data about the user and social network activities related to the user. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on their relatedness and their relevance to users. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and are used to generate a timeline or map view for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by location or time. The timeline or map view is then provided to other users of the social networking system that wish to view information about the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Drew W. Hamlin, William Joseph Flynn, III, Burak Guzel, Samuel Lessin, Paul M. McDonald, Stefan Parker, Aaron Sittig, Arun Vijayvergiya, Zizhuang Yang, Mark E. Zuckerberg

Patent number: 10182052Abstract: A method includes receiving, by an operating system of the first computing device and from a client application executing on the first computing device, a first request for accessing a set of data associated with a user of the first computing device. The set of data is managed by a second computing device. The method further includes sending, by the operating system and to the second computing device, a second request for accessing the set of data. The method still further includes receiving, by the operating system and from the second computing device, a response to the second request. The method additionally includes, if the response to the second request grants the client application access to the set of data, then forwarding, by the operating system and to the client application, an access token to be used by the client application for accessing the set of data with the second computing device.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2017Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Luke Jonathan Shepard, Julie Christina Tung, Yariv Sadan, Brent Justin Goldman, Arun Vijayvergiya, Naitik Hemant Shah

Patent number: 9798440Abstract: The invention provides a display interface in a social networking system that enables the presentation of information related to a user in a timeline view. The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on their relatedness and their relevance to users. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and a diversity policy is applied to prevent overrepresentation of timeline unit type(s). The timeline units are used to generate a timeline view for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by location or time. The timeline view is then provided to other users of the social networking system that wish to view information about the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Serkan Piantino, Daniel Klatzko Gibson, Jeff Huang, Paul M.

The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system, including both data about the user and social network activities related to the user. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on their relatedness and their relevance to users. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and can then determine a quantity of timeline for display in the timeline view and select them based at least in part on the ranking. The units then are used to generate a timeline view for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by location or time.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Serkan Piantino, Daniel Klatzko Gibson, Jeff Huang, Paul M.
