  • Patent number: 10120946
    Abstract: Users may engage with content that may invoke various emotions. For example, a user may find an image as inspirational, a social network post as funny, etc. Accordingly, content may be labeled with user emotion labels, specified by users that engaged with the content, to create labeled content (e.g., the image may be labeled as inspirational). Emotional transition triggers may be defined for users (e.g., 30 minutes of a user writing a school report using a word processing application). Responsive to a triggering of an emotional transition trigger, labeled content may be provided to a user (e.g., the image may be provided to the user as an inspirational break from writing the school report). In this way, content may be labeled based upon emotions that the content invokes in users, and such labeled content may be provided to users in a contextually relevant manner (e.g., a study break).

  • Publication number: 20160034976
    Abstract: Scroll input received with regard to content within a content layer (e.g., email content displayed through an email inbox content layer of an email application) may be used as a trigger to reveal an advertisement layer or portion thereof, where the advertisement layer is under the content layer. For example, as a user scrolls towards the end of the email content, display of the email inbox content layer may be contracted and display of an advertisement layer may be expanded. In this way, one or more advertisement layers, comprising advertisements, may be displayed based upon scroll input. In an example, an advertisement may be revealed (e.g., gradually as the user scrolls towards the end of content) such that the advertisement does not occlude or visually block the content.
