Patent number: 9971830Abstract: Based on information associated with users, a social networking system recommends one or more groups for a target user to join or to create. Characteristics of the target user, characteristics of users connected to the target user, characteristics of candidate groups in the social networking system may be used to identify groups for recommendation. The social networking system may provide questions to the target user and recommend a group to the target user based on received answers to the questions. For example, the answers to the provided question identify one or more characteristics of the target user, which are used to select a group for recommendation. Additionally, the social networking system may recommend additional users for the target user to add or invite to a group based on characteristics of the target user, the additional users, and/or the group.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2012Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Todd Christopher Jackson, William Russell Maschmeyer, Bin Jiang, Kenneth M.

Concurrent display of conversation messages and social network posts by conversation message authors
Patent number: 9253137Abstract: A client device displays message content from one or more email messages in a conversation thread. The client device displays, concurrently with the message content from the one or more email messages, one or more respective social network objects. Each displayed social network object has one or more selection portions, and each displayed social network object corresponds to a respective post by a respective participant in the conversation thread. In response to selection of a first portion of a respective social network object of the one or more displayed social network objects, the client device displays a respective social network page of the respective participant who authored the respective post corresponding to the respective social network object.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2011Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Todd Christopher Jackson, Edward Shichung Ho, Mark Knichel, Emily Chang -
Patent number: 9203792Abstract: A server system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors receives from a client device a request, the request comprising a request for message content from one or more email messages in a conversation thread. The server system responds to the request by identifying the message content, identifying candidate authors, and obtaining qualifying posts by the candidate authors, the qualifying posts satisfying predefined criteria. The server system furthermore selects a subset of the qualifying posts, and prepares the selected subset of the qualifying posts and the message content for concurrent display at the client device.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2014Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Todd Christopher Jackson, Edward Shichung Ho, Mark Knichel, Emily Chang
