  • Patent number: 11429656
    Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for scaled delivery of media content. The systems and methods assign a set of proposed designations to a plurality of media content. The systems and methods select a set of media content from the plurality of media content based on the set of proposed designations and distribute a subset of media content of the set of media content to a selected user of a plurality of users. The subset of media content is presented at a computing device associated with the selected user. The systems and methods receive a set of indicators for each media content of the subset of media content. Each indicator represents an interaction with a media content of the subset of media content. The systems and methods cause presentation of an interaction notification at the computing device associated with the selected user.

  • Publication number: 20220004703
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide for systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for annotating a collection of media items, such as digital images. According to some embodiments, an annotation system automatically determines one or more annotations for a plurality of media content items, and generates a collection of media content items that associates the determined annotations with the plurality of media content items. Depending on the embodiment, annotations that may be determined for the plurality of media content (and associated with the collection for the media content items) can include, without limitation, a caption, a geographic location, a category, a novelty measurement, an event, and a highlight media content item representing the collection.
