Publication number: 20240179110Abstract: In some examples, a method comprises displaying cover art in a given tile of a plurality of tiles, and detecting input that causes the given tile to move to a first display position. A video is generated responsive to the detected input and, without further user input or navigation, automatically presented in place of the cover art displayed in the given tile. While the video is being played back in the given tile, it is determined that the given tile has been moved to a second display position. In response to determining that the given tile has been moved to the second display position, the video playback is terminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2024Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Newar Husam Al Majid, Nathan Kenneth Boyd, Laurent Desserrey, Matthew Thompson, Jeremy Voss

Patent number: 11973730Abstract: A sender holds a first platform account with an interaction system. The sender selects a content item to be shared with a recipient. In response to determining that a recipient identifier of the recipient is not linked to a platform account, an off-platform communication is transmitted to a second user device associated with the recipient identifier. The off-platform communication is in an electronic format supported by the second user device and contains a user-selectable registration link. In response to detecting establishment of a second platform account linked to the recipient identifier, the recipient is enabled to access the content item on the second user device via a user interface provided by an interaction application. A relationship between the first platform account and the second platform account is established within the interaction system.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Nathan Kenneth Boyd, David Phillip Taitz, Jeremy Baker Voss, Xingnan Xia

Publication number: 20240112261Abstract: A computer system for integrating trading account security with associate investment policy (AIP) governance is provided. The system includes a processor and a receiver. A received trade request may include an associate social security number, an associate name, a security name, a last security purchase data, and a broker dealer name. The employee may be a private side employee. The processor may use a series of containers in electronic communication with a database or database engine to determine that the trade request is industry compliant and employer regulations compliant. When the trade request is determined to be non-compliant, then the processor may electronically message or e-mail the employee 1) a trade denial and 2) insider trading mitigation messages. Following a determination that the trade request is fully compliant; the processor may transmit the trade request to an employer trading platform and prompt the associate to execute the trade request.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Aravind Shankaragouda Singtalur, Manmohan V.

Publication number: 20240062254Abstract: Embodiments for communicating and displaying collections of image and video clip content with an opt-out interstitial are described. In one example embodiment, a device receives interface information about a group of content collections from a server computer system. When a user inputs a selection of a first content collection, the device displays images and video clips in a sequence defined by the content collection. Each piece of content is displayed for less than a threshold display time. When the device finishes playing the first content collection, the device presents an opt-out interstitial. Additional content collections generated from content submitted by other client devices can be received from the server computer system, and are presented based on a response input, or a lack of response input, to the opt-out interstitial. Some embodiments include content collections generated by the server computer system, as well as advertising elements presented between content collections.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Nathan Kenneth Boyd, Jeremy Voss, William Wu
