  • Patent number: 9305328
    Abstract: A method performed by software generates a render request record for a render request submitted by a user of an app and stores the render request record in a queue database. The render request includes a visualization to be rendered. The software selects the render request record from the queue database. Selection of the render request record is determined at least in part by a priority value that depends on an amount of time the user has spent using the app. The software generates a rendered image for the selected render request record, using render data. Then the software publishes a publishing element including the rendered image to a newsfeed stream displayed by a social networking site.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8754905
    Abstract: Software on a server receives a render request from a queue database. The software determines the render process requirements for the render request. The software queries a user profile database for render data based on the render process requirements. The software transmits a request to provide render data to a client device, if render data is not available in the user profile database. The software receives a response from the client device, including the requested render data. The software generates the rendered image, using the rendered data. The software creates a publishing element from the rendered data and a publishing template. And the software publishes the publishing element to the a newsfeed using an application programming interface (API).
