Patent number: 10325323Abstract: A social graph may be modeled as a collection of claims. Each claim is associated with an author, an audience, and an assertion about a fact. Probabilistic information may be collected from various sources for a claim, enabling a social networking system to evaluate a truthfulness of the assertion made in the claim. User-declared profile information may be evaluated as claims. A user, entity, or application may make claims about any assertions made in the social networking system. Reputation scores may be determined for users based on evaluations of their historical assertions. Claims may be evaluated for truthfulness using a probabilistic prediction model using heuristics analysis, regression analysis, and machine learning methods. A claims-based profile of users may be provided to viewers based on the contexts in which the claims were made. Viewers may view claims made about users, such as the users' biographical information, contact information, expertise, and interests.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2012Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Samuel Lessin, Michael Hudack, Aaron Sittig, Daniel Klatzko Gibson, Benjamin E. Hiller, Thomas Andrew Watson, Wei Zhong Yeh

Patent number: 10242067Abstract: The invention provides a display interface in a social networking system that enables the presentation of information related to a user in a timeline or map view. The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system, including both data about the user and social network activities related to the user. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on their relatedness and their relevance to users. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and are used to generate a timeline or map view for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by location or time. The timeline or map view is then provided to other users of the social networking system that wish to view information about the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2014Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Serkan Piantino, Ryan Case, Stanislav Funiak, Daniel Klatzko Gibson, Jeff Huang, Ryan David Mack, Paul M. McDonald, Arun Vijayvergiya, Joshua Wiseman, Zizhuang Yang, Steven Young, Raylene Kay Yung, Mark E. Zuckerberg

Patent number: 9798439Abstract: The invention provides a display interface in a social networking system that enables the presentation of information related to a user in a timeline or map view. The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system, including both data about the user and social network activities related to the user. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on whether the viewing user has permission to view them. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and are used to generate a timeline for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by time. The timeline view is then provided to other users of the social networking system that wish to view information about the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Serkan Piantino, Daniel Klatzko Gibson, Jeff Huang, Paul M.

Patent number: 9798440Abstract: The invention provides a display interface in a social networking system that enables the presentation of information related to a user in a timeline view. The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on their relatedness and their relevance to users. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and a diversity policy is applied to prevent overrepresentation of timeline unit type(s). The timeline units are used to generate a timeline view for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by location or time. The timeline view is then provided to other users of the social networking system that wish to view information about the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Serkan Piantino, Daniel Klatzko Gibson, Jeff Huang, Paul M.

The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system, including both data about the user and social network activities related to the user. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on their relatedness and their relevance to users. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and can then determine a quantity of timeline for display in the timeline view and select them based at least in part on the ranking. The units then are used to generate a timeline view for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by location or time.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Serkan Piantino, Daniel Klatzko Gibson, Jeff Huang, Paul M.
