  • Patent number: 11611523
    Abstract: A messaging application provides a user interface displaying a user's threads, where each thread includes at least one message between the user and another user. Via the user interface, the user may select a thread to access messages in the thread or to add one or more messages to the thread. The messaging application also displays a sponsored content item along with the threads, but displays the sponsored content item below threads having unread messages to avoid reducing engagement with threads the user is likely to select. In some embodiments, the messaging application predicts a probability that displaying the sponsored content item above a thread including an unread message thread will cause the user not to engage with the thread and displays the sponsored content item above the thread including the unread message if the predicted probability is below a threshold.

  • Patent number: 11223586
    Abstract: Techniques for a messaging agent platform are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a intermediary server operative to send a page-scoped identifier to a front-end application, the front-end application associated with an entity, the page-scoped identifier identifying a user account with a messaging system in relation to a representation for the entity within the messaging system; receive a user information request from a contact application at the intermediary server, the contact application associated with the representation for the entity within the messaging system, the user information request for the page-scoped identifier; determine a user access consent setting for the page-scoped identifier for the user account; and send a user information data package to the contact application in response to the user information request when the user access consent setting for the page-scoped identifier indicates user consent. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11062362
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing dynamic communication threads in response to a detected interaction with a sponsored digital content item. For example, systems and method described herein detect a user interaction with a sponsored digital content item and generate a screened communication thread between the user and the sponsor that is not available to the sponsor. The screened communication thread serves as a reminder to the user of the sponsored digital content item. Systems and methods described herein convert the screened communication thread to an open communication thread based on user interaction with the screened communication thread (e.g., after the user submits a reply in the screened communication thread). Thus, systems and methods described herein protect the user's online privacy unless and until the user indicates a desire to interact with the sponsor.

  • Publication number: 20170293955
    Abstract: Techniques for messaging agent customization are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a commerce intermediary server operative to receive a commerce message package from a commerce messaging application, the commerce messaging application associated with a commerce entity, the commerce message package addressed to a message thread with a messaging system; determine commerce access privileges for the commerce messaging application in association with the message thread; send the commerce message package to a client device associated with the message thread when the commerce access privileges indicate access to the message thread; and reject the commerce message package when the commerce access privileges reject access to the message thread. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 9710233
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to providing an application model for implementing composite applications and to providing a declarative programming model and distributed runtime for creating and executing composite applications. In an embodiment, a computer system instantiates an application model. The application model allows users to compose composite applications. The composite applications are configured to run on both distributed computing systems and local computing systems. The computer system receives user input at the instantiated application model. The user input indicates which composite application components are to be used in conjunction with each other to form the composite application. The computer system also provides the composite application on a distributed computing system and/or a local computing system.

  • Publication number: 20160371872
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can present a first interface that provides a first set of content items. A command to present a second interface that provides a second set of content items can be detected. An animation that transitions from the first interface to the second interface can be performed. The animation can cause a second subset of content items out of the second set to be visually representative of a first subset of content items out of the first set.

  • Patent number: 9286037
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to providing an application model to deploy and manage composite applications and to providing model-driven software coding assistance. In an embodiment, a computer system instantiates an application design interface that is configured to display composite application components and relationships between the components. Each component includes information specifying how communication is to be conducted with the component. The computer system accesses an application manifest that includes the components and component relationships of the application. The computer system displays the composite application's components and component relationships in the instantiated visual application design interface according to the application manifest.
