  • Patent number: 11228546
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for a server computer to receive a request from a first device to share a plurality of media content items with a second device, the request including a unique identifier for each of the plurality of media content items. The server computer determines a subset of the plurality of media content items to be processed by the first device, generates instructions for processing the subset of the plurality of media content items by the first device, and sends the instructions to the first device. The server computer receives the processed media content items for the subset of the plurality of media content items that were processed by the first device, generates a message enabling access to processed media content items for the plurality of media content items, and sends the generated message to the second device.

  • Patent number: 11108715
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for capturing a media content item at a first time period and detecting and storing context data for the media content item. The systems and methods further provide for receiving, at a second time period, an indication from a user to access the media content item, retrieving the media content item and the context data for the media content item, analyzing the context data for the media content item to determine that creative tools not available during the second time period were available during the first time period based on the context data for the media content item, and providing creative tools to the user comprising the creative tools that were available during the first time period. The systems and methods further provide for storing recorded user actions and creative tools applied to the media content item separately from the media content item.
