Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, server computers, storage media, and instructions for prioritized device action triggered by device scan data are described. In one embodiment, a mobile device performs a method that involves executing a messaging application with an image capture interface and a scanning input. An associated scanning mode comprises capture of scan data from a plurality of input/output modules of the first client device, analyzes the scan data to identify one or more scan data patterns by matching at least a portion of the scan data against a set of data patterns, and selects a priority system action based on the results of the matching of the portion of the scan data against the set of data patterns. In some embodiments, the priority system action is selected based on a priority ranking for identified scan data types.

Abstract: Methods and systems for training a machine learning model include training a machine learning model using training data. A status of the machine learning model's training is determined based on an accuracy curve of the machine learning model over the course of the training. Parameters of the training are adjusted based on the status. Training of the machine learning model is completed using the adjusted parameters.

Abstract: A seed cluster comprising a group of users who share a particular attribute and/or affiliation is determined by a social networking system. For each user of the seed cluster, other users and/or entities connected to the user in the social networking system are retrieved. For each retrieved other user or entity, the social networking system may determine whether the other user or entity exhibits the attribute or affiliation based on a random walk algorithm. A resulting targeting cluster of users and/or entities may be used for targeting advertisements targeting to members. A social networking system may also infer an affiliation for a user based on the user's interaction with a page, application, or entity where other users who interacted with the same page, application, or entity have the same affiliation.

Therefore, the users can control the accurate amount for provender supply by manipulating the drive unit.

Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing photo filters based on the location of the object in the image are described. A photo filter publication system detects that a client device in communication with the system has captured an image, identifies an object in the image, identifies a location of the object in the image, identifies an image overlay associated with the identified location and having object criteria satisfied by the identified object, and provides the identified image overlay to the client device.

Abstract: A portable electronic device with image capturing capabilities automatically or semi-automatically adjusts one or more image capturing parameters based on an input attribute of user engagement with a single-action haptic input mechanism. For example, the duration for which a single-action control button carried on a frame of the device is pressed automatically determines an image stabilization mode for on-board processing of captured image data. In one example, an above-threshold press duration automatically activates a less rigorous image stabilization mode, while button release before expiry of the threshold automatically activates a more rigorous photo stabilization mode.

Abstract: A service provider may receive item price information and/or point of sale (POS) transaction information from a plurality of merchant devices associated with a plurality of merchants. The service provider may categorize the plurality of merchants according to the types of items offered by the respective merchants, and may further categorize the merchants according to the locations at which they conduct business. The service provider may subsequently determine a price recommendation or other pricing information for a particular item offered by a particular merchant. A merchant device of the particular merchant may present the pricing information in a user interface that enables the merchant to view projected sales at various different price points. Further, the merchant may be able to specify one or more factors used for determining the recommend price, such as a desired business model, a desired clientele, a desired profit margin, or the like.

Abstract: A portable electronic device with image capturing capabilities automatically or semi-automatically adjusts one or more image capturing parameters based on an image metric calculated from image data captured by the device. The device can be configured for processing image data captured by an on-board camera to determine the image metric, and to perform an automated adjustment action based on the determined value of the image metric. In some embodiments, the image metric is an image brightness metric upon which automated adjustment of a camera sensitivity parameter is based.

Abstract: Buyer profile management is described herein. In an example, a payment processing service can store, in a database, buyer profiles associated with buyers involved in point-of-sale (POS) transactions with one or more merchants of the payment processing service. The payment processing service can receive transaction data associated with a new POS transaction between a buyer and a merchant and can determine whether the transaction data corresponds to any of the buyer profiles. Based at least in part on determining whether the transaction data corresponds to any of the buyer profiles, the payment processing service can update the database storing the buyer profiles, wherein updating the database comprises (i) associating the transaction data with an existing buyer profile, (ii) merging two or more buyer profiles, or (iii) adding a new buyer profile.

Abstract: Interface circuitry of an apparatus receives a first service data packet that includes at least first information for a first multimedia presentation frame and second information for a second multimedia presentation frame. Processing circuitry of the apparatus stores the first information and the second information in different rows having different row number in a service data table. Then the processing circuitry determines, from a preset database, first material data for the first multimedia presentation frame and second material data for the multimedia presentation frame based on material configuration information in the first service data packet. Further the processing circuitry associates the first material data and the second material data in a material data table with different row numbers in the service data table and generates first multimedia service data corresponding to the first service data packet based on the association between the service data table and the material data table.
