  • Publication number: 20250104313
    Abstract: A system or method for contextual image generation in messaging applications may include textual input being analyzed using natural language processing to determine an intent to generate an image without requiring an explicit command. An image may be generated based on the determined intent and conversation context, then displayed within the messaging application. The system supports collaborative image refinement, allowing multiple users in a group chat to modify and animate generated images through natural language interactions. A suggestion mechanism may be employed to maintain user control over image generation.

  • Patent number: 12073140
    Abstract: A first screen device establishes a pairing session between a first screen device and a second screen device. The first screen device presents, in a user interface on the first screen device, a video and one or more media features related to the video. The media features pertain to at least one of a presentation of the video or user feedback about the video. The video is cast from the first screen device onto the second screen device. The first screen device receives, via the user interface, user input indicating a user request to enable presentation of at least one of the media features on the second screen device in connection with the video. In response to the user input, the first screen device causes the at least one of the media features to be presented on the second screen device in connection with the video.
