Patent number: 9538350Abstract: A method including, by one or more computing systems, receiving an indication of a communication from a first user to a second user, calculating an implicit urgency score of the communication, calculating a composite urgency score, determining an urgency of the communication and providing an indication of the urgency as determined for presentation to the second user. The implicit urgency score may be based at least in part on information accessible by the computing systems. The composite urgency score may be based at least in part on the implicit urgency score. The urgency of the communication may be based at least in part on the composite urgency score.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2015Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Michael John McKenzie Toksvig, David Harry Garcia, Eglia Nair Flores

Patent number: 9154608Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing data encoding a response shift in a signal received through an antenna of a mobile device. The signal corresponds to wireless communication to the mobile device from another device. The response shift is detected and encoded by a modem of the mobile device coupled to the antenna. The method also includes determining an environmental or operational state of the mobile device based at least in part on the response shift encoded in the data.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Michael John McKenzie Toksvig, Yoon Kean Wong, Craig Michael Nicol, Eglia Nair Flores

Patent number: 9055415Abstract: In one embodiment, a first computing device communicating with a second computing device through a communications channel transmits an out-of-band message indicative of the urgency of the communication through a notification channel. In particular embodiments, a server acts as a proxy for relaying the out-of-band message from the first device to the second device. The second device calculates an implicit urgency score based on the communication characteristics, and combines the implicit score with the explicit urgency indicator to determine whether a call is urgent. In particular embodiments, communication handling may be affected by the determination of urgency.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2011Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Michael John McKenzie Toksvig, David Harry Garcia, Eglia Nair Flores

In particular embodiments, a server acts as a proxy for relaying the out-of-band message from the first device to the second device. The second device calculates an implicit urgency score based on the communication characteristics, and combines the implicit score with the explicit urgency indicator to determine whether a call is urgent. In particular embodiments, the server calculates an implicit urgency score based on a number of factors, and the score is composited with the overall urgency score. In particular embodiments, communication handling may be affected by the determination of urgency.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2011Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Michael John McKenzie Toksvig, David Harry Garcia, Eglia Nair Flores

Patent number: 8904013Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes broadcasting, from a first mobile device, a message having an identity of the first mobile device and conditions for connecting to a network through the first mobile device and receiving, at the first mobile device, a request from one or more second mobile devices that includes second user identifiers corresponding to respective second users of the one or more second mobile devices. The second user identifiers correspond to respective user accounts of one or more second users in a social-networking system. The method also includes determining, at the first mobile device, whether the one or more second mobile devices are authorized to access the network through the first mobile device and, if the one or more second devices are authorized to access the network, then configuring the first mobile device to provide the second mobile device network access.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2012Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Nicholas Papakipos, Michael John McKenzie Toksvig, David Harry Garcia, Mohit Talwar, Eglia Nair Flores

Publication number: 20140229330Abstract: A social networking system user includes objects maintained by the social networking system in a collection of objects associated with the user's user profile. The objects in a collection may be associated with a product or service offered by a system external to the social networking system. A story may be generated describing the product associated with the object added to the collection. The story may be presented to other social networking system users connected to the user. Metadata describing the product is associated with the object included in the collection and is updated. The user may be notified of the updated metadata or an action may be performed if the updated metadata satisfy one or more criteria.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2013Publication date: August 14, 2014Inventor: Eglia Nair Flores

Publication number: 20090113301Abstract: A toolbar application for network browser applications is described. The tool augments web pages with related multimedia content. The browser application allows the user to locate and render a web page of personal interest. The tool invokes a mechanism to identify one or more media objects related to the web page in a playlist, and invokes a media object player application to render the one or more media objects in the playlist.
