  • Publication number: 20210200391
    Abstract: Disclosed are interacting methods for sidebar menu, apparatus, and storage medium thereof. The interacting methods display a shortcut panel for displaying first shortcut button icons upon receiving a triggering instruction, and displays another shortcut panel, an editing panel or an editing interface upon receiving another triggering instruction, for editing the first shortcut button icons. Before the triggering instruction is received, the first shortcut panel runs in the background, and there is no resident bar displayed on the mobile terminal, thus, users will not be affected by the shortcut panels. The purpose of eliminating the resident bar of the shortcut panel and voiding the shortcut panel affecting the users' normal use of the mobile terminal is achieved.

  • Patent number: 10972423
    Abstract: Various embodiments include a conversation engine for facilitating a conversation between member accounts (e.g., personal accounts) and social network entities (e.g., corporate accounts) in a social networking system. The conversation engine can enable interactions between a member account and a social network entity via a messaging application when an end-user device associated with the member account is in proximity to a physical establishment associated with the social network entity. The end-user device can scan for available access points and determine its location based on the wireless source identifier(s) of the available access points. The end-user device and/or the social networking system can compare the wireless source identifier(s) to a set of known wireless source identifiers to determine the end-user device's location. Messages can be generated by the conversation engine that include content that is generated based at least in part on the location of the end-user device.
