Patent number: 11443460Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a first user in an input image, accessing social data of the first user in the input image, where social data comprises information from a social graph of an online social network, selecting, based on social data of the first user in the input image, a mask from a set of masks, where the mask specifies one or more mask effects, and for each of the input images, applying the mask to the input image. The set of masks may comprise masks previously selected by friends of the first user within the online social network. The selected mask may be selected from a lookup table that maps the social data to the selected mask.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Maria Luz Caballero, Molly Jane Fowler, Congxi Lu, Charles Joseph Hodgkins, Daniel Alberto Cuellar

Patent number: 10636175Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes identifying an emotion associated with an identified first object in one or more input images, selecting, based on the emotion, a mask from a set of masks, where the mask specifies one or more mask effects, and for each of the input images, applying the mask to the input image. Applying the mask includes generating graphical features based on the identified first object or a second object in the input images according to instructions specified by the mask effects, and incorporating the graphical features into an output image. The emotion may be identified based on graphical features of the identified first object. The graphical features of the identified object may include facial features. The selected mask may be selected from a lookup table that maps the identified emotion to the selected mask.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2016Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Maria Luz Caballero, Molly Jane Fowler, Congxi Lu, Charles Joseph Hodgkins, Daniel Moreno Cuellar

Patent number: 9948645Abstract: Techniques for call-based user verification are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a processor circuit and a storage component. The apparatus may further comprise a session component, an identification (ID) component, a mapping component, and a verification component. The session component may be operative on the processor circuit and configured to receive session data from a client device and store the session data in the storage component. The ID component may be operative on the processor circuit and configured to request ID data from a server, receive ID data from the server, and send the ID data to the client device. The mapping component may be operative on the processor circuit and configured to map the session data with the ID data.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Bradley Edward Hettervik, Surendra Gadodia, Xiao Liang, Antony T.
