Publication number: 20170230700Abstract: In particular embodiments, one or more computer systems of a social-networking system determine identities of one or more users in proximity to a display device and query a social graph of the social-networking system for social content associated with the determined identities. The social graph includes nodes and edges connecting the nodes. The nodes include user nodes that are each associated with a particular user of the social-networking system. The one or more computer systems of the social-networking system identify, using the social content, recommended media content for the one or more users in proximity to the display device and provide a playlist for display on the display device. The playlist includes the recommended media content for the one or more users in proximity to the display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2017Publication date: August 10, 2017Inventors: Ime Archibong, Gregory Joseph Badros, Colin Cameron Brennan Campbell, David Harry Garcia, Mark Heynen, Brian Krausz, Cameron Alexander Marlow, Justin Alexander Shaffer, Michael John McKenzie Toksvig, Erick Tseng, Yoon Kean Wong

Patent number: 9430782Abstract: Advertisements in a social networking system may be targeted to searching users in relation with a real-time search engine operated by a social networking system. Ads are targeted to users based in part on social information included in a structured search query and/or search results on a page. In a typeahead search, a user of the social networking system may receive prefix search results of objects in the search box. The prefix search results are ranked by relevance to the user, and advertisers may bid for particular objects to increase their ranking in the results list. An option may be provided to a viewer of search query results to buy an ad that would be seen by other users who performed the same search query, received a targeted search result, or based on targeting criteria as determined by the viewer bidding on the ad.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Amit Alon, Gregory Joseph Badros
