Patent number: 11706494Abstract: This disclosure covers systems and methods that both transmit a live video stream from a broadcaster device to viewer devices and relay video clips of reactions (by viewers to the live video stream) to the broadcaster device during presentation of the live video stream. In certain embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods facilitate viewers capturing video clips of reactions to a live video stream using a viewer device and, in turn, transmit video clips received from the viewer device to a broadcaster device during broadcast of the live video stream. For instance, in some embodiments, the systems and methods present the video clips of a viewer's reaction to the broadcaster device during a live-video-stream broadcast. Additionally, in some embodiments, the systems and methods present video clips of other viewers' reactions to a viewer device during a live-video-stream broadcast.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Shilpa Sarkar, Ian McIntyre Silber, Udeepta Dutta Bordoloi

Patent number: 11528309Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine that a broadcaster of a first live content stream has identified at least one user of a social networking system to join as co-broadcaster. A merged live content stream is published through the social networking system, the merged live content stream including the first live content stream of the broadcaster and a second live content stream associated with the at least one identified user. At least one notification is sent to one or more other users of the social networking system. The notification informs the one or more other users about the merged live content stream.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2021Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Shilpa Sarkar, Mari Sheibley, Lu D.

Patent number: 11399002Abstract: Techniques are described that enable a user to create a collection of content posts on a social networking system. In some cases, a social networking system receives multiple content posts to be shared, and shares the multiple content posts with a first group of user accounts. The social networking system receives a request to create a collection of one or more content posts of the multiple content posts, where the request includes a descriptor associated with the collection. The social networking system generates the collection of the one or more content posts including the descriptor, and provides the collection to a second group of user accounts.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2020Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Xiao Ou Wang, Josselyn Tsai, Ryan Keenan Olson, Shilpa Sarkar, Derek Jalee Tsay

Patent number: 11206235Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine that broadcasting of a live content stream has concluded. The concluded live content stream is converted to a post live media content item. The post live media content item corresponding to the concluded live content stream is published through the social networking system. The post live media content item remains accessible through the social networking system for a pre-determined period of time.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2018Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Shilpa Sarkar, Mari Sheibley, Lu D.

Patent number: 10917666Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for providing a start trigger for a live video broadcast. In particular, in some embodiments the systems and methods described herein provide a live video stream received from a broadcaster client device to one or more viewer client devices. Additionally, the systems and methods described herein determine whether an audience satisfies a triggering event to provide the video stream to an audience of viewers. The systems and methods provide content for a wait screen in response to determining that the audience does not satisfy the triggering event, and provide the video stream in a live broadcast in response to determining that the audience does satisfy the triggering event.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Shilpa Sarkar, Hui Ding, Ian McIntyre Silber
