  • Patent number: 11449547
    Abstract: A group-based communication platform is configured to ascertain the relatedness of various work objects shared among users of the group-based communication platform. Moreover, the group-based communication platform may further receive and process work objects originating from non-users of the group-based communication platform, thereby further expanding the utility of the determined relatedness between work objects. These work objects (or encrypted representations of these work objects) may be indexed and stored in association with the group-based communication platform, thereby enabling users to search for and retrieve work objects originating from a plurality of work object sources simultaneously, and based on various characteristics of those work objects and the determined interrelatedness between various work objects.

  • Publication number: 20220284401
    Abstract: Method, apparatus and computer program product for generating a channel calendar in a group-based communication system are described herein. The apparatus is configured to at least generate a channel calendar identifier associated with a group-based communication channel in the group-based communication system, receive a calendar sharing request associated with the channel calendar identifier from a client device, retrieve the calendar object and calendar object metadata set based on the channel calendar identifier, and cause rendering of the calendar object for display via a user interface of the client device.

  • Patent number: 10529109
    Abstract: An online system customizes video conversations between users of the online system by providing graphics that are likely to interest the users. The online system may present composite views overlaying selected graphics on a video stream, which may be part of an augmented reality (AR) environment. The graphics include, for example, background graphics, masks, props, visual or particular effects, frames or borders, etc. The online system may use a machine learning model to predict whether a user is likely to select or interact with a particular graphic. The online system can also filter or rank graphics according to user affinities or user connections on the online system. Users may be encouraged to interact with the graphics that are customized to their specific interests, which can promote an engaging video conversation or AR experience.
