  • Publication number: 20220092071
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to a system, a device and a method for expression-based retrieval of expressive media content. A request may be received to search for content items in a media content management system. Media content items may be procured from different content sources through application programming interfaces, user devices, and/or web servers. Media content items may be analyzed to determine one or more metadata attributes, including an expressions. Metadata attributes may be stored as one or more content associations. The media content items may be stored and categorized based on the content associations. A search router rules engine may determine search intent based on the search query, which may include a pictorial representation of an expression, such as an emoji. A dynamic interface may be integrated in a device operating system through various access points, including a button, a trigger key, a keyword trigger, and an overlay button.

  • Publication number: 20180068475
    Abstract: Techniques for dynamic ad hoc generation of customizable image-based files on computing device displays over interactive data networks are described, including detecting an input associated with an image, the input including data associated with one or more attributes of the image, generating an overlay configured to be at least partially transparent when visually rendered over the image, producing a file using the one or more attributes, the file including other data associated with the image, the overlay, and formatting and programmatic instructions configured to visually render the image and the overlay when another input is detected, and detecting the another input associated with placement of a visual rendering of the file and the overlay, the placement being disposed within a display window associated with an application or operating system configured, at least partially, to provide an electronic data communication function between two or more computing devices in data communication with each other in s
