  • Patent number: 10489473
    Abstract: A digital magazine server receives user interactions with content items presented to users via various digital magazines. The digital magazine server retrieves interactions associated with a content item that are also associated with multiple digital magazines. From the retrieved interactions, the digital magazine server generates information describing global interactions with a content item that are associated with multiple digital magazines. The digital magazine server may filter interactions with the content item that are associated with different digital magazines based on characteristics of the interactions and the information describing global interactions with the content item generated based on the filtered interactions.

  • Patent number: 10341278
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for determining, for comments associated with a content item, response likelihood scores indicating likelihood of a user responding to the comments, and presenting the comments to the user according to the determined response likelihood scores. A response likelihood score of the user responding to a comment is determined according to an emotion score associated with the comment and a user propensity of the user responding to comments with similar emotion scores for a topic of the content item. The comments associated with the content item are ranked based on the response likelihood scores associated with the comments. An arrangement of the comments can be determined based on the rankings of the comments, and the comments can be presented to the user according to the determined arrangement.

  • Patent number: 10235020
    Abstract: A solution is provided for presenting content items of a digital magazine to a user of a digital magazine server, where a dynamic index is provided to indicate which content items are currently displayed on a display of the computing device. Multiple content items of the digital magazine can be arranged in a content panel. A dynamic index is synchronized with the display region of the content panel such that when a position of the display region of the content panel changes, a dynamic index is updated to indicate the changed position of the display region of the content panel. A portion of a content item can be displayed or hidden depending on current user interaction with the display panel. The display region indicator indicates the displayed portions of the content items and their corresponding hidden portions.

  • Patent number: 10148775
    Abstract: An application associated with a digital magazine server receives actions from a user of the digital magazine server with content provided by the application. Additionally, the application obtains rules including suggested actions for the user to perform that are associated with actions previously performed by the user. As the user interacts with the application, the application captures information describing actions performed by the user and compares the actions performed by the user to the rules. If the application identifies a rule including information describing actions previously performed by the user that match captured actions, the application presents information identifying the suggested action in the identified rule to the user.
