Abstract: Systems, devices, methods and instructions are described for generating and displaying a reply menu within a graphical user interface (GUI). One embodiment involves receiving a selection of messages received at a client device, detecting a reply message generated by the first client device in response to selected messages, generating a reply menu comprising an ordered list of user account identifiers, the user account identifiers representing user accounts, each user account associated with a corresponding selected message, causing display of the reply menu within a GUI, receiving a selection of a subset of user account identifiers from the reply menu, initiating independent communication sessions with the selected subset of user account identifiers and transmitting the reply message via independent communication sessions.

Abstract: A server maintains a gallery of ephemeral messages. Each ephemeral message is posted to the gallery by a user for viewing by recipients via recipient devices. In response to a gallery view request from any of the recipient devices, the ephemeral messages in the gallery are displayed on the requesting device in automated sequence, each message being displayed for a respective display duration before display of the next message in the gallery. Each ephemeral message has an associated message availability parameter. Each ephemeral message is removed from the gallery, thus being unavailable for viewing upon request, at expiry of the corresponding message availability parameter.

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, instructions, and media are described for generating suggestions for connections between accounts in a social media system. One embodiment involves storing connection graph information for a plurality of user accounts, and identifying, by one or more processors of the device, a first set of connection suggestions based on a first set of suggestion metrics. A second set of connection suggestions is then identified based on a second set of suggestion metrics, wherein the second set of connection suggestions and the second set of suggestion metrics are configured to obscure the first set of connection suggestions, and a set of suggested connections is generated based on the first set of connection suggestions and the second set of connection suggestions. The set of connection suggestions is then communicated to a client device method associated with the first account.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for playing audio sounds, such as music, on a portable electronic device using a digital color image of a note matrix on a map. A computer vision engine, in an example implementation, includes a mapping module, a color detection module, and a music playback module. The camera captures a color image of the map, including a marker and a note matrix. Based on the color image, the computer vision engine detects a token color value associated with each field. Each token color value is associated with a sound sample from a specific musical instrument. A global state map is stored in memory, including the token color value and location of each field in the note matrix. The music playback module, for each column, in order, plays the notes associated with one or more the rows, using the corresponding sound sample, according to the global state map.

Abstract: A map-based graphical user interface (GUI) for a social media platform provides a map window that displays an interactive map that is movable within the map window responsive to user input. User icons for respective friend users of a user associated with a client device on which the map-based GUI is generated are displayed in the map window at respective locations on the interactive map. A predefined portion of the map window defines a focus area. Context information for respective friend users are automatically surface for those friend icons located within the focus area, while such context information are automatically omitted or de-surfaced for those friend icons outside of the focus area.

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for group contact lists generation based on modified user contacts. One embodiment involves receiving, at a server computer from a client device, a plurality of contacts, the plurality of contacts each associated with a respective contact digital interface of plurality of contact digital interfaces, identifying a first set of contacts in the plurality of contacts that include a modification to each of a respective contact digital interface. In some embodiments, the server computer includes generating a first group contact interface comprising the modification, generating a new group contact list that comprises the first set of contacts, associating the first group contact interface with the new group contact list, and causing the first group contact interface to be displayed by the client device.

Abstract: A server has a processor and a memory storing instructions executed by the processor to maintain an ephemeral gallery of ephemeral messages. An ephemeral message is posted to the ephemeral gallery. The ephemeral message has an associated message duration parameter and a gallery participation parameter. An ephemeral message is removed from the ephemeral gallery in response to the identification of an expired gallery participation parameter.

In response to a gallery view request from any of the recipient devices, the ephemeral messages in the gallery are displayed on the requesting device in automated sequence, each message being displayed for a respective display duration before display of the next message in the gallery. Each ephemeral message has an associated message availability parameter, at the expiry of which the ephemeral message is made unavailable for viewing as part of the gallery. At expiry of the message availability parameter of the last posted message, the gallery is made unavailable for viewing upon request by any recipient.
