Abstract: Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure improve the functionality of electronic messaging and imaging software and systems by automating the client-side transcoding of video data based on content. For example, an appropriate transcoding configuration can be selected for video data having complex motion or textures. Accordingly, video quality can be improve when complex motions or textures are present.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for transferring money anonymously between a sender and a recipient by use of a one-time use token. The method includes generating a one-time use token account for association with a one-time use token. The method includes generating the token and providing the token to the sender device in a machine-readable and transferable format. The method includes receiving a request to charge the one-time use token account after the token has been provided to the recipient device as a form of payment for a transaction. The method includes determining that an amount of the transaction is less than an amount of funds associated with the token and that the time of the transaction is within a time period for the use of the token. The method includes facilitating a transfer to the recipient account and deducting the amount of the transaction from a sender account.

Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing photo filters based on the location of the object in the image are described. A photo filter publication system detects that a client device in communication with the system has captured an image, identifies an object in the image, identifies a location of the object in the image, identifies an image overlay associated with the identified location and having object criteria satisfied by the identified object, and provides the identified image overlay to the client device.

Abstract: A service provider may receive item price information and/or point of sale (POS) transaction information from a plurality of merchant devices associated with a plurality of merchants. The service provider may categorize the plurality of merchants according to the types of items offered by the respective merchants, and may further categorize the merchants according to the locations at which they conduct business. The service provider may subsequently determine a price recommendation or other pricing information for a particular item offered by a particular merchant. A merchant device of the particular merchant may present the pricing information in a user interface that enables the merchant to view projected sales at various different price points. Further, the merchant may be able to specify one or more factors used for determining the recommend price, such as a desired business model, a desired clientele, a desired profit margin, or the like.

Abstract: Transaction modification based on modeled profiles is described. In an example, transaction data can be received from merchant computing devices associated with merchants associated with a payment processing system. A model can be trained to generate profiles using, as training data, one or more of merchant data, buyer data, or the transaction data. Upon receiving an indication of a particular transaction between a buyer and a merchant, it can be determined that a characteristic of the transaction corresponds to a profile of the generated profiles. Based on the determination that the characteristic corresponds to the profile and the transaction data, a recommendation can be generated for a modification of the transaction to add an item or replace an item.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented that provide for receiving, at a media overlay publication system from a first client device, content to generate a media overlay, and generating the media overlay using the content received from the client device. The generated media overlay is stored in a database associated with the media overlay publication system and associated with a first characteristic of the content received from the first client device. The media overlay is provided to a second client device when a second characteristic of context data associated with the second client device correlates to the first characteristic for the media overlay, causing a display of the media overlay on a user interface of the second client device.

Abstract: Transaction modification based on modeled profiles is described. In an example, transaction data can be received by a payment processing system. The payment processing system can generate, using a trained model, profiles. Based at least in part on (i) receiving an indication that a buyer and a merchant are engaged in, or likely to be engaged in, a transaction and (ii) determining that a characteristic of the transaction corresponds to a profile, generating a communication to enable the buyer or the merchant to modify the transaction in association with processing of the transaction.

Abstract: Disclosed are a computer-implemented method, a system, and a computer program product for system-level tunable parameter identification. Performance characteristic data for an application to be tuned can be obtained by one or more processing units. At least one system-level tunable parameter for the application to be tuned can be identified by one or more processing units based on the obtained performance characteristic data for the application to be tuned and a pattern between training performance characteristic data and a set of training system-level parameter-related correlation coefficients. The set of training system-level parameter-related correlation coefficients can be respective correlation coefficients of system-level tunable parameters with respect to at least one performance metric.

Abstract: A portable electronic device with image capturing capabilities automatically or semi-automatically adjusts one or more image capturing parameters based on an input attribute of user engagement with a single-action haptic input mechanism. For example, the duration for which a single-action control button carried on a frame of the device is pressed automatically determines an image stabilization mode for on-board processing of captured image data In one example, an above-threshold press duration automatically activates a less rigorous image stabilization mode, while button release before expiry of the threshold automatically activates a more rigorous photo stabilization mode.
