  • Publication number: 20240086998
    Abstract: Feeds in a network-based marketplace are described. The system receives a request, over a network, from a user that is associated with feed selection information, and identifies source feeds based on the feed selection information. The source feeds respectively include a first plurality of content elements. The system generates a presentation feed by retrieving a second plurality of content elements from the source feeds. The generating is performed continuously and in real-time. The system segments the presentation feed into pages and generates interfaces that include a first interface based on the pages. The system communicates the first interface, over the network, to the user, responsive to the receiving of the request.

  • Publication number: 20230153701
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating reservations of shared desks, phone booths, and other spaces or areas within a workspace for members of the workspace are described. For example, a space reservation system receives a request to reserve a space for a member and selects a space suitable for the member based on one or more work environment characteristics associated with the space. The system also presents various interfaces for displaying available spaces and facilitating interactions between the member and the space.

  • Patent number: 10218784
    Abstract: A social networking system selects a set of groups for presentation to a user of the social networking system. To select groups, the social networking system determining scores for various groups representing a likelihood of the user interacting with the groups. When determining a score for a group, the social networking system accounts for a likelihood of the user providing content to the group as well as the user accessing or viewing content associated with the group. Based on the scores, one or more groups are selected and presented to the user. Additionally, the social networking system may apply one or more diversity rules so that the selected groups have a variety of characteristics.

  • Patent number: 9665972
    Abstract: A framework includes a scene display section configured to display a scene that includes a background layer, a video layer, and a three dimensional graphics layer on top of the video layer; and a rendering module configured as a gatekeeper that adds and removes objects to be included for rendering in the three dimensional graphics layer. The framework includes a video module configured to track playback timing of the video; and a moment module, for creating a data model for a moment having a start time, end time, identifier, and a state, configured to update the state of the moment based on the video playback timing, identified by the identifier and in accordance with the start time and the end time. Objects that are added to be included in rendering, check the state of an associated the moment, and when the state of the moment is enabled, update their display state.

  • Publication number: 20160371872
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can present a first interface that provides a first set of content items. A command to present a second interface that provides a second set of content items can be detected. An animation that transitions from the first interface to the second interface can be performed. The animation can cause a second subset of content items out of the second set to be visually representative of a first subset of content items out of the first set.

  • Publication number: 20150134659
    Abstract: A social networking system allows users to create collections including objects associated with products, services, games, videos, books or other similar items. An object is associated with a type and one or more actions are associated with the type to identify actions capable of being performed on the object. When an object is presented to a user, the type of the object is compared to types of objects capable of being included in a collection. If the type of the object is capable of being included in a collection, one or more collections associated with actions associated with the type of the object are identified. Information describing the identified collections is generated and presented to the user. By selecting information identifying a collection, the user includes the object in the collection corresponding to the selected information.

  • Patent number: 7510457
    Abstract: A method for constructing three-dimensional structures with a multi-part construction toy comprised of connectable component parts. A flat construction plan is provided illustrating in full size a two-dimensional structure constituting all or a large part of the intended three-dimensional structure. The connectable component parts are placed directly over their respective illustrations on the flat plan, and joined to form the two-dimensional structure. The two-dimensional structure may include a pair of opposite side subassemblies joined by one or more reorientable bridging elements, for example a flexible panel. After completion, the two-dimensional structure is picked up and erected to three-dimensional form by bending or pivoting the bridging element to position the opposite side subassemblies in spaced apart, usually parallel relation. The free ends of the subassemblies are then joined, usually by a bridging element, which may form an end element of the two-dimensional structure.
