  • Patent number: 11308173
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first query comprising one or more n-grams inputted by the first user at the client system, accessing by the client system a plurality of ideograms each being associated with one or more tags matching at least one of the n-grams of the first query, where the one or more ideograms are ranked in an order based on their respective user-probabilities each being calculated based at least in part on a frequency of use associated with the respective ideogram, presenting one or more of the ideograms at the client system in ranked order where each ideogram is selectable by the first user, and receiving a selection of one of the presented ideograms at the client system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10685377
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems generate a graphical user interface (GUI) including a plurality of selectable elements. Selections of an application and a first filter within the GUI configure the promotion to be displayed to a subset of a selected group of users, the subset being users that access the network service using a user device that both runs the selected application and meets user device state criteria defined by the selected first filter. A request corresponding to the first filter is transmitted to a user device detected to be running the selected application and associated with the selected group of users. When the user device is determined to satisfy the user device state criteria, the promotion is transmitted to the user device.

  • Publication number: 20180375913
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for management of content presentation within a user interface are presented. Certain embodiments are described that allow for the management of content presentation within a user interface. A channel management subsystem may manage the presentation of content to a user from one or more channels within the social network. The channel management subsystem may receive requests from one or more channels to present content to a user within a user interface (UI) of the social network. The channel management subsystem may grant or deny the received requests based on various rules or criteria. The channel management subsystem may help ensure that the user of the social network is not overwhelmed by the presentation of inorganic content or sponsored content within the UI of the social network.

  • Patent number: 10102295
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first query inputted by a first user at a first client system, the first query including one or more n-grams; identifying ideograms, each ideogram being associated with one or more tags, each identified ideogram being associated with at least one tag matching at least one of the n-grams of the received first query; calculating, for each identified ideogram, a use-probability for the ideogram given the received first query, wherein the use-probability is based at least in part on a frequency of use associated with the ideogram; and sending, to the first client system, instructions for presenting a first set of ideograms comprising one or more of the identified ideograms, the first set being determined based on the calculated use-probabilities associated with the ideograms.

  • Patent number: 9721024
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a query inputted at a mobile device of a user of an online social network. The query may include n-grams (e.g., words, emoticons, and punctuation marks), and may be, for example, a message to another user or search terms. N-grams may be mapped to tags, which may, in turn, be mapped to ideograms (i.e., stickers). One or more ideograms may be identified based on the one or more ideogram being associated with tags matching n-grams of the query. For each of the identified ideograms, a probability quantifying how likely the user is to select the ideogram is calculated based on how frequently the ideogram has been used. A set of ideogram suggestions, including one or more of the identified ideograms, is generated based on the probabilities and sent to the user's mobile device for display to the user.
