  • Patent number: 10818056
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for managing custom media overlays for social media applications. Custom media overlays, sometimes referred to as “filters,” “lenses,” or “effects,” can be used to augment a digital image, providing entertainment and increasing engagement in social media applications. In various situations, it may be desirable to reveal a custom media overlay only after an associated event has occurred. Disclosed embodiments allow a custom media overlay to be defined and associated with an event. Prior to the event occurrence, the custom media overlay is only available to a first subset of users. Once the event occurs, the custom media overlay is provided to a second subset of users. In this way, the custom media overlay is concealed from the second subset of users until the event occurs.

  • Patent number: 10795547
    Abstract: A browser or browser component queues touch events on a user device while an associated network page is being rendered. The browser may store a detected touch event, a location of the touch event, and/or a vector associated with the touch event in a touch events queue implemented by a data repository. The browser may also visually indicate that the touch event has been registered. Once the network page is at least partially interactive, the browser may retrieve the touch event information from the touch events queue and apply the touch event. Prior to or after applying the touch event, the visual indicator that alerts the user that the touch event was registered may be removed. The browser may then re-render and display the network page after the touch event has been applied.
