Patent number: 10425671Abstract: In particular embodiments, one or more computer systems of a social-networking system receive a first video stream from a content source, receive social content from a social graph of the social-networking system, and generate an overlay area comprising at least a portion of the social content. The social graph includes a plurality of nodes and edges connecting the nodes, the nodes comprising user nodes that are each associated with a particular user of the social-networking system. The one or more computer systems of the social-networking system determine a placement for the overlay area within the first video stream, generate a modified video stream using at least the first video stream and the overlay area, and provide the modified video stream for display on a display device. The overlay area is placed within the modified video stream according to the determined placement.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2012Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Ime Archibong, Colin Cameron Brennan Campbell, Robert Daniel, David Harry Garcia, Michael John McKenzie Toksvig, Erick Tseng, Patrick Underwood, Yoon Kean Wong

Patent number: 10405020Abstract: In particular embodiments, a social networking system queries a social graph of the social-networking system for social content associated with video content provided to one or more users of the social-networking system and accesses privacy settings associated with each of the one or more users. The privacy settings indicate whether a particular user has authorized the social-networking system to share social content associated with the particular user with one or more third parties. The social networking system provides the social content associated with video content provided to the one or more users to a particular third party if the privacy settings of the one or more users indicate that the one or more users have authorized the social-networking system to share the social content with one or more third parties.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Sean Michael Bruich, Colin Cameron Brennan Campbell, Robert Daniel, David Harry Garcia, Brian Krausz, Erick Tseng, Yoon Kean Wong

Patent number: 10291737Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes identifying candidate content associated with a user of a computing device, selecting, from the candidate content, cache content to be stored in cache storage of the computing device for access by the user when the computing device does not have network connectivity, and storing the cache content in the cache storage of the computing device. The cache content may be based on information associated with a user node that represents the user in a social graph. The cache content may include entities liked by the user, friends of the user, and/or entities of interest to the user. The cache content includes web pages accessed by the user and/or web pages referenced by content created by the user. The cache content may include information related to past, current, and/or predicted actions of the user, such as social network posts, travel itineraries, and geographic locations.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2014Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Aaron Samuel Filner, Devin Naquin, Joshua Li, Katherine L.
