Publication number: 20230288222Abstract: A social networking system may generate a region of an interactive map and determine a zoom level at which the interactive map is being presented. The social networking system may then determine a first defined geographic region based at least in part on the region being displayed and the zoom level at which the interactive map is being displayed. A quantity of content items that exists that are associated with the first define geographic region can be determined by the system. The social networking system may then present, based at least in part on the quantity, a visual representation on the interactive map of one or more content items associated with at least one of the first defined geographic region or a second defined geographic region that encompasses the first defined geographic region.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2022Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: William Samuel Bailey, Joshua Barton Dickens, Jessica S. Liang, Key K. Shin

Publication number: 20230289897Abstract: Techniques for providing social network maps are described. For example, a social networking system may receive, from a first user account associated with the social networking system, a content item associated with a location. The social networking system presents a control usable to provide multiple different types of feedback associated with the location. In some examples, the social networking system then generates an interactive map which comprises a visual representation of the content item associated with the location on the interactive map to a second user account. Upon receiving input comprising a selection of a particular type of feedback from among the multiple different types of feedback, the social networking system the performs an action associated with the selected particular type of feedback.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2022Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: William Samuel Bailey, Joshua Barton Dickens, Jessica S. Liang, Key K. Shin

Publication number: 20220182458Abstract: Techniques for providing social network maps are described. For example, a social networking system may receive, from a first user account associated with the social networking system, a text input associated with a multi-author story. In some examples, the social networking system then selects a feed post associated with the multi-author story previously shared by a second user account associated with the social networking system. The social networking system then generates an interactive map which comprises a visual representation of the feed post, and provides the interactive map comprising the visual representation to the first user account.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2022Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: William Samuel Bailey, Jessica S.

Patent number: 11222061Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating accurate digital media clusters corresponding to predicted distribution classes from a repository of digital media based on network distribution history. For example, a digital media clustering system can apply machine learning models at a remote server (based on network distribution history of a network account of a user) to generate predicted distribution classes for future electronic communications. The remote server can provide the predicted distribution classes to a user client device for secure local analysis of digital media stored at the client device. Based on the predicted distribution classes and the stored digital media, the client device can suggest digital media items to distribute via a networking system. Thus, the disclosed system can surface digital media content without providing any information regarding the digital media items stored at the client device to a remote server.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Yue Zhao, Yu Wang, William Samuel Bailey, Mari Sheibley
