  • Patent number: 10268733
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system of a first user of a communication network, an input from the first user to access a card-stack interface, generating one or more card clusters from a plurality of cards, each card comprising a query referencing a query-domain associated with the communication network and zero or more query-filters for the query-domain, wherein each query-filter references one or more objects of the communication network, each card cluster comprising one or more cards from the plurality of cards, the cards being formed into card clusters based on a card-affinity between the cards, and sending, to the client system in response to the input from the first user, the card-stack interface for display to the first user, wherein the card-stack interface comprises one or more of the card clusters.

  • Publication number: 20180210886
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system of a first user, an input from the first user indicating a query-domain and one or more query-filters, generating a card cluster comprising a plurality of cards referencing a plurality of objects corresponding to the indicated query-domain and one or more query-filters, ranking the plurality of cards based on one or more user-engagement factors, and sending, to the client system in response to the input from the first user, instructions for displaying the card cluster to the first user, the cards of the card cluster being ordered based on the rankings associated with the cards.

  • Patent number: 9959320
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client device of a user of an online social network, an input from the user to access a card-stack interface, generating a plurality of cards, where each card comprises a suggested query referencing a query-domain associated with the online social network and one or more query-filters, and where each query-filter references one or more objects of the online social network, each card further comprising one or more search results corresponding to the suggested query, and each search result referencing an object of the online social network matching the suggested query of the card; and sending, to the client device in response to the input from the first user, the card-stack interface for display to the first user, wherein the card-stack interface comprises one or more of the generated cards.

  • Publication number: 20160371872
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can present a first interface that provides a first set of content items. A command to present a second interface that provides a second set of content items can be detected. An animation that transitions from the first interface to the second interface can be performed. The animation can cause a second subset of content items out of the second set to be visually representative of a first subset of content items out of the first set.

  • Patent number: 9367629
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a social graph that includes a number of nodes and edges connecting the nodes. Each of the edges between two of the nodes representing a single degree of separation between them. The nodes include a first node corresponding to a first user associated with an online social network and a plurality of second nodes that each correspond to a concept or a second user associated with the online social network. The method also includes generating a number of cards. Each card includes a suggested query referencing a query-domain associated with the online social network and zero or more query-filters for the query-domain. Each query-filter references one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes or one or more edges of the plurality of edges.
