Patent number: 10015210Abstract: In one embodiment, a first computing device associated with a receiving user receives, from a second computing device, a reference of a first media session that has been initiated by a sharing user. The reference is displayed to the receiving user on a user interface of the first computing device. The first computing device receives user input requesting that the receiving user also participate in the first media session. The first computing device then receives from the second computing device information to initiate a second media session on the first computing device. The second media session is initiated at the same point in time that the first media session is currently at, and the second media session is synchronized with the first media session.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Alexandre Roche, Lincoln Hochberg, Vishu Gupta

Patent number: 9680947Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems receive a first plurality of actions from a first entity with respect to a first plurality of objects. A global object related to each of the first plurality of objects is determined and a representation of the global object is displayed in association with a representation of the first entity. Additionally, in response to receiving user feedback on the representation of the global object displayed in association with the representation of the first entity, an instance of the global object that is unique to the first entity is created. The displayed representation of the global object is converted into a representation of the instance of the global object that is unique to the first entity.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2016Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Rose Yao, Lincoln Hochberg, Brian Jay Thomas, Naitik H.

Patent number: 9596273Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device identifies a set of second users to participate in an ongoing media session which was initiated by a first user. Each of the identified second users has a social-networking relationship with the first user, or a social-networking relationship with a media item of the ongoing media session. The computing device provisions the ongoing media session to second users, so that the second users join the ongoing media session in progress at the current point in time of the ongoing media session. The computing device sends a notification to the first user indicating that the second users have joined the ongoing media session.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Alexandre Roche, Lincoln Hochberg, Vishu Gupta

Patent number: 9002940Abstract: To facilitate the sharing of media sessions by users within a social network. In an embodiment, a social networking system provides, for a second user of a social networking system, a reference about a first media session for a first user of the social networking system. The social networking system receives a request to participate in the first media session from the second user. The social networking system facilitates provision of a second media session for the second user that is synchronized with the first media session. The first media session may include media from at least one of an audio application, a video application, and a gaming application.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2012Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Alexandre Roche, Lincoln Hochberg, Vishu Gupta
