Patent number: 10506410Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a geographical area associated with a crisis. A first user within the geographical area can be identified based on locational data associated with the first user. Information about a safety status of the first user can be actively requested or acquired from the first user. The safety status of the first user can be broadcasted, communicated, or provided to at least a second user associated with the first user.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Peter Michael Cottle, Sharon Zeng, Jean Carla Ablaza Echevarria, Jasmine R.

Patent number: 10397169Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can define a communication item associated with a social networking system, including a plurality of parameters that are each associated with one or more possible values. A plurality of variants of the communication item can be determined based on values associated with the plurality of parameters. A first set of weights associated with the plurality of variants can be determined. Each weight in the first set of weights can be associated with a variant of the plurality of variants. Each variant of the plurality of variants can be provided to a proportion of a first group of users that corresponds to a weight in the first set of weights associated with the variant.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Brian Paihan Sa, Eytan Bakshy, Alexander Kalicki

Publication number: 20180375913Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for management of content presentation within a user interface are presented. Certain embodiments are described that allow for the management of content presentation within a user interface. A channel management subsystem may manage the presentation of content to a user from one or more channels within the social network. The channel management subsystem may receive requests from one or more channels to present content to a user within a user interface (UI) of the social network. The channel management subsystem may grant or deny the received requests based on various rules or criteria. The channel management subsystem may help ensure that the user of the social network is not overwhelmed by the presentation of inorganic content or sponsored content within the UI of the social network.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2017Publication date: December 27, 2018Inventors: Brian Paihan Sa, Khalid M. Ashour, Nikola Vilimonovic, Xingdi Li, Syed Faisal Karim, Mason Daniel Silber

Publication number: 20170251069Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a geographical area associated with a crisis. A first user within the geographical area can be identified based on locational data associated with the first user. Information about a safety status of the first user can be actively requested or acquired from the first user. The safety status of the first user can be broadcasted, communicated, or provided to at least a second user associated with the first user.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2017Publication date: August 31, 2017Inventors: Peter Michael Cottle, Sharon Zeng, Jean Carla Ablaza Echevarria, Jasmine R.

Patent number: 9721024Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a query inputted at a mobile device of a user of an online social network. The query may include n-grams (e.g., words, emoticons, and punctuation marks), and may be, for example, a message to another user or search terms. N-grams may be mapped to tags, which may, in turn, be mapped to ideograms (i.e., stickers). One or more ideograms may be identified based on the one or more ideogram being associated with tags matching n-grams of the query. For each of the identified ideograms, a probability quantifying how likely the user is to select the ideogram is calculated based on how frequently the ideogram has been used. A set of ideogram suggestions, including one or more of the identified ideograms, is generated based on the probabilities and sent to the user's mobile device for display to the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2014Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Brian Paihan Sa, Stephen Moore Davis, Nikola Vilimonovic, Jireh Yiwei Tan, Aaron Payne Goldsmid
