Patent number: 10915229Abstract: An online system maintains user interactions with different entities, such as pages, maintained by the online system. The online system also allows an administrator of multiple entities to merge two or more of the entities. When merging entities, the online system allows the administrator to select specific interactions by the administrator with the entities to be merged that are subsequently associated with the entity resulting from the merge. The online system also presents an interface to other users who have interacted with the entities to be merged that allows the users to select individual interactions with the entities to be merged to be associated with the entity resulting from the merge. The interface allowing the user to select the individual interactions may be accessed via a notification sent to the user by the online system.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventor: Zhonghu Gao

Patent number: 10915230Abstract: Examples herein describe systems and methods for light placement in a graphical user interface (“GUI”). A computing device may generate multiple layers that can be superimposed on a base layer in an GUI environment. The layers can include a map layer, an object layer, and a lighting plan layer. The computing device can provide instructions to a client device for displaying the layers, as well as instructions for providing a menu where are user can select which layers are displayed. The lighting plan layer may illustrate a lighting plan for a geographic area, such as a city. The lighting plan layer may include placements of lighting objects in the geographic area based on a set of rules, and it may be dependent on the object layer.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: CITELUM SAInventors: Pierre Leboulleux, Gaelle Malette

Patent number: 10915231Abstract: In various examples, a seating application may be leveraged to allow users to select—within a graphical user interface (GUI)—a seat or seats at a venue that maintain compliance with social distancing standards. For example, as each user selects seats, the seats available to the next users may be updated—e.g., dynamically—such that a minimum distance is maintained between and among each individual user or group of users (e.g., a family). As a result, during periods where social distancing measures may be in place, users and venue staff may have peace of mind that social distancing standards are being met to ensure safety, while also maximizing event space usage.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2020Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Inventors: Kirk David Bacon, Esther Jusiri Jeong
