Patent number: 11295504Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive render instructions for rendering an animation. The animation comprises a plurality of layers, each layer comprising one or more layer properties, and a first dynamic property to be defined at runtime prior to rendering the animation. The first dynamic property is mapped to a first set of layer properties of the one or more layer properties. A first dynamic property value is received for the first dynamic property. The first set of layer properties are defined based on the first dynamic property value. The animation is rendered on a computing device based on the render instructions and the first dynamic property value.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Robert Alexander Allen, Jr., Michael O'Brien, Nicholas J. Kwiatek, Alexander Zats, Jerod Wanner, Emily Dubinsky Gasca, Eduardo de Mello Maia, Christopher Slowik, Renyu Liu, Rajesh Janakiraman, David Graham McDermott

Patent number: 10524011Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify a set of video categories. A first video content item can be acquired from a first user. A particular video category selected by the first user as being associated with the first video content item can be acquired from the first user. The particular video category can be selected out of the set of video categories. It can be determined that one or more videos associated with the particular video category are to be provided to a second user. The second user can be connected to the first user in a social networking system. The second user can be provided, via the social networking system, with access to the first video content item associated with the particular video category.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2015Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventor: Eduardo de Mello Maia

Patent number: 9992150Abstract: In particular embodiments, a computer server may receive information regarding an event proposal from an event organizer, where the information includes an identification of multiple invitees, and where the information is missing one or more significant details of the event proposal. The computer server may send the information regarding the event proposal to one or more client devices, where each of the client devices is associated with one of the invitees. The computer server may receive feedback regarding the event proposal from at least one of the invitees, and based on the received feedback, the computer server may determine at least one of the missing significant details of the event proposal. The computer server may send information regarding final details of an event based on the event proposal to one or more of the client devices associated with the invitees.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Aditya Brij Koolwal, Daniel Warner Smith, Eduardo de Mello Maia, Curtis Wayne Spencer, Ken Deeter, Kieran Lafferty, Jason Reid Ederle

Patent number: 8618932Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for improving location awareness of a device. A device position can be determined (e.g., via GPS or some location service), and this position can be used to identify a user-experience that may be in an area around the device, such as within a desired position threshold. A near-field radio system beacon that is associated with the user-experience can be activated in order to identify a distance of the device from the beacon. The beacon can use a near-field radio system ID associated with the device to identify the device, and determine a distance to the device. When a user moves the device to within a threshold distance from the beacon, the user-experience can be activated on the device, such that the user may interact with the user-experience (e.g., to hear a description of artwork as the user navigates through a museum).Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Eduardo de Mello Maia, Stuart Alan Wyatt, Henry Hooper Somuah, Cesare John Saretto, Dillon Shane Lynch

Publication number: 20110307599Abstract: A proximity network architecture is proposed that enables a device to detect other devices in its proximity and automatically interact with the other devices to share in a user experience. In one example implementation, data and code for the experience is stored in the cloud so that users can participate in the experience from multiple and different types of devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2010Publication date: December 15, 2011Inventors: Cesare John Saretto, Kenneth Hinckley, Jason Alexander Meistrich, Steven Bathiche, Stuart Alan Wyatt, Henry Hooper Somuah, Eduardo de Mello Maia
