Patent number: 10917743Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining that the first computing device is located within a predetermined geofence and that a user of the first computing device is opted into chance mode. Based on determining that the user of first computing device is opted into chance mode, systems and methods further provide for determining a subset of a plurality of computing devices that are located within the predetermined geofence and that are associated with users opted into chance mode, generating location information and user information each of the users of the subset of the plurality of computing devices, and causing display on the first computing device of indicium for each user associated with each of the subset of the plurality of computing devices on a map, each indicium presented in a location on the map associated with each of the subset of the plurality of computing devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2020Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Lillian Zheng, Ashley Michelle Wayne, Leonid Gorkin
