Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to uses of face detection in video, and especially in video calls. In some embodiments, face detection may be used to center a camera shot by maintaining a face in the center of a screen. The centering may be applied selectively, such as by overriding centering if the user is looking off-screen. The video may also be cropped to better fit a face in a screen, or to allow multiple faces to appear on screen. In some embodiments, emphasizing the face over the background (or parts of the face over the whole face) allows for improvement in video call performance. Moreover, these techniques can be used to bring certain areas of a camera shot into focus while de-emphasizing the background (or vice versa).

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for displaying participants in an interface during a group call, and is particularly well-suited to use with small displays. A full-size call interface may be shrunk down into a chathead that makes good use of limited screen real estate, especially when being used on a mobile device. On the smaller chathead, the dominant user is shown, and a roster of users is shrunk and may exhibit reduced functionality. The chathead may be moved around the screen, and other applications may continue to run in the space not occupied by the chathead.

Abstract: A method includes presenting a UI of a first application on a screen of a computing device and detecting a user input. For example, the detected user input may be an input tracing a continuous path on the screen of the computing device, and the path may include a first gesture extending from a first location to a second location on the screen followed by a second gesture extending from the second location to a third location on the screen. In response to detecting the first gesture, the computing device may display an interactive menu of the first application, the interactive menu comprising a plurality of menu options. In response to the detecting the second gesture, the computing device may identify one of the menu options. In response to detecting user input indicating completion of the second gesture, the computing device may determine the selection of the identified menu option.
Abstract translation: 一种方法包括在计算设备的屏幕上呈现第一应用的UI并检测用户输入。 例如，检测到的用户输入可以是跟踪计算设备的屏幕上的连续路径的输入，并且路径可以包括从屏幕上的第一位置延伸到第二位置的第一手势，接着是从 第二个位置到屏幕上的第三个位置。 响应于检测到第一手势，计算设备可以显示第一应用的交互式菜单，交互式菜单包括多个菜单选项。 响应于检测到第二手势，计算设备可以识别菜单选项之一。 响应于检测到指示完成第二手势的用户输入，计算设备可以确定所识别的菜单选项的选择。

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to the creation of a media effect index for group video conversations. Media effect application (e.g., in the form of graphical overlays, filters, sounds, etc.) may be tracked in a timeline during a chat session. The resulting index may be used to create a highlights reel, which may serve as an index into a live show or may be used to determine the best time to insert materials into a recording of the conversation. The index may be used to automatically detect events in the video feed, to allow viewers to skip ahead to exciting moments (e.g., represented by clusters of applications of particular types of media effects), to determine where each participant spoke in a discussion, or to provide a common “watch together” experience while multiple users watch a common video. An analysis of the index may be used for research or consumer testing.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for creating drawings in communications applications. When the system registers a sustained haptic contact signal, further contacts may generate drawings to be overlaid onto a message thread. While the contact is sustained, each swipe may create a new stroke that is transmitted on a real-time data channel. A new layer may be defined over the messages, having its own coordinate system. The drawing may be recreated on the recipient client by drawing the strokes on the new layer. Each participant may see the drawing displayed over their message thread. The drawing may scroll with the messages, or may be displayed in the same place on the screen until cleared by some action from the sender or recipient.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide a messaging interface for accessing one or more message threads. At least one ephemeral message to be sent through a first message thread can be determined. The first message thread can be used to exchange messages among a first group of users. The first group of users can be provided with access to the ephemeral message through the first message thread.

Abstract: An online system customizes video conversations between users of the online system. During a video conversation, the online system presents a composite view to the participating users. The composite view may include visual representations of the users, a background graphic, or other types of graphics such as masks and props that the users can wear or interact with in the environment of the video conversation. The visual representations may be generated based on a live video feed of the users or include avatars of the users. The online system can determine the graphics based on information about the users. For instance, the online system determines a background graphic showing a location that the users have each visited. Upon viewing the background graphic, the users may be encouraged to interact with the background graphic or other graphics included in the composite view, which can promote an engaging video conversation experience.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for facilitating a connection between two users in a call by providing an “answering window” when a user calls. When a caller places a call to a callee, the call invitation may remain open for a window of time during which the caller remains available. The callee may opt to answer the call at any time during the window. During the window, the caller may be placed in a lobby and may share audio and/or video. Accepting the call during the answering window may place the callee in the lobby or may directly convert the interaction into an active call. The callee may request that the window can be altered, or may signal their intention to answer the call at a particular time.
