  • Patent number: 10986384
    Abstract: A video application executing on a client device allows a user to modify video data captured by the client device. The video application allows the user to transmit the video data to a viewing client device for presentation to a viewing user. For example, the video application transmits the video data to an online system, which transmits the video data to the viewing client device. The viewing user provides a request to modify the video data to the viewing client device, which transmits the request to the online system. Based on the request from the viewing client device, the online system identifies a modification to the video data to the client device, which modifies the captured video data accordingly. The modified video data is provided from the client device to the viewing client device via the online system.

  • Patent number: 10852945
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for enabling a user to manage a social media account via low-data messages. The systems and methods may include receiving a low-data message from a client device, analyzing the low-data message, generating a social media object relating to the low-data message, and adding the social media object to a social media account of a social networking system. Furthermore, the systems and methods may include detecting a user interaction with the social media object, generating a second low-data message describing the user interaction, providing the second low-data message to the client device, and receiving a third low-data message from the client device. Moreover, the systems and methods include generating a response social media object relating to the third low-data message and adding the response social media object to the social media account within the social networking system.

  • Patent number: 10725637
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide one or more options to adjust, in a virtual three-dimensional space, an image in an initial perspective. At least a first command, provided based on the one or more options, to adjust the image from the initial perspective into an adjusted perspective can be detected. The image can be adjusted, based on at least the first command, into the adjusted perspective in the virtual three-dimensional space to produce an adjusted image. A second command to modify a viewable area of the adjusted image can be detected. At least a portion of the adjusted image can be automatically fitted, when the second command has ceased, within a specified display area while one or more empty regions can be minimized in the specified display area.
