Patent number: 10769199Abstract: Access to a set of media content items is acquirable. Identified processors can perform, in parallel, object detection for the set. In some cases, information about a current system state, a user, and/or object popularity metrics is acquirable for selecting a subset of object models. Object recognition is performable, based on the subset, for the set of media content items. In some instances, a camera view can be provided. Object recognition is performable for representations of the view. An object depicted in the representations is identifiable. An interface portion is presentable to provide a label for the object. In some cases, object recognition is performable for the set of media content items to identify an object depicted in a content item. A label is associable with the content item. A search through the set of media content items can identify, based on the label, a subset that depicts the object.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: William M. Ruben, Zachary W. Gomez

Patent number: 10734026Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can acquire a first selection to identify a subset of media content items out of a set of media content items. A second selection to identify a mood out of a set of moods can be acquired. A soundtrack can be identified based on at least one of first selection or the second selection. The soundtrack can be associated with data utilized to determine when each media content item in the subset is to be presented during a playback of the soundtrack. A set of declarative instructions utilized to determine how each media content item in the subset is to be presented during the playback of the soundtrack can be provided. The subset can be dynamically presented based on the set of declarative instructions. The subset can be presented during the playback of the soundtrack and can be presented to represent video content.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: William Edward Fisher, Nathaniel Gregory Salciccioli, Alexander Matthew Madjar, William M. Ruben, Nicholas J. Kwiatek, Zachary W. Gomez

Patent number: 10701021Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes a device receiving a request to connect a minor with another user within a social-networking system. The minor and the user may be associated with a first and a second account, respectively. The device may identify the minor's guardian. A first approval request may be sent to the minor or the guardian to seek approval of the requested connection between the minor and the other user. The first approval request may be sent to the guardian upon determining that the request is initiated by the minor, or it may be sent to the minor upon determining that the request is initiated by the guardian. The device may send a second approval request to the other user to seek approval of the requested connection as well. When the requests are approved, a connection may then be established between the minor and the other user.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2017Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Tarunya Govindarajan, Zachary W.

Patent number: 10438014Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect a set of images locally stored on a computing system. The computing system can be associated with a first user. One or more facial recognition processes can be applied to the set of images. It can be determined, based on the one or more facial recognition processes, that a subset of images, out of the set of images, is associated with a second user. One or more options for the first user to share the subset of images with the second user can be provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: William M.
