Patent number: 10805254Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for graphically representing content viewers, within a user interface, from social networking interrelations between viewers and producers. The systems and methods receive an indication of a positive connection state for a first member and a second member. The positive connection state is validated by identifying a server link between the first member and the second member. In response to validating the positive connection state, an identification for the first member is transmitted to a second client device associated with the second member. A selection is received for a selection of a user interface presented on the second device. In response to receiving the selection from the second device, the identification of the first member is presented within the user interface on the second device.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Richard Allen, Jacob Andreou, Sebastian Gil, Michael Heyeck, Jeremy Voss
