  • Patent number: 10499090
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to detect a concept reflected in a first media content item to which a user is provided access. It is determined that the concept has a threshold level of relevance to the user. The concept is associated with an element that upon selection causes a transition to a second media content item to which the user is provided access, the second media content item reflecting the concept. The element is presented in the first media content item for the user.

  • Publication number: 20190286914
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify a set of media content items based on at least one search query. The set of media content items can be ranked based on information associated with one or more media content items in the set of media content items to produce a ranked set of media content items. The ranked set of media content items can be provided for sequential video presentation. A set of image frame previews can be selected for at least some media content items in the ranked set. Each image frame preview in the set of image frame previews can be selected based on a respective confidence score associated with viewer interest. One or more image frame previews, out of the set of image frame previews, can be provided during media navigation associated with the sequential video presentation.

  • Patent number: 10310721
    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.

  • Publication number: 20190042085
    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.

  • Publication number: 20180302659
    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.
