  • Patent number: 11899905
    Abstract: Method of generating selectable items providing post-viewing context actions starts with a processor receiving a media content item with first media overlay from first client device. Processor causes an active notification associated with the media content item to be displayed on a notification user interface by a second client device. Processor receives a selection of the active notification from the second client device and in response to receiving the selection of the active notification, causes the media content item to be displayed by the second client device. The processor, in response to the media content item being displayed by the second client device, causes the second client device to display the notification user interface comprising an inactive notification and a first selectable item that is associated with the first media overlay. Other embodiments are described herein.

  • Patent number: 10193908
    Abstract: A method for analyzing network interaction data is disclosed. Initially, network interaction data is received from a network over time. A predetermined model comprising predetermined values associated with network interaction parameters is also received. The received network interaction data is processed to determine the network interaction parameters and information regarding the network interaction data. A score for the network interaction data is calculated based on the predetermined model and the determined network interaction parameters. The score is compared to a threshold. The information regarding the network interaction data is then forwarded based on the comparison of the score to the threshold.
