Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for determining user journeys during presentations of content. The system first determines an average time spent for sessions associated with a presentation of content. Next, the system identifies a representative group of sessions from the sessions by identifying each of the sessions having a respective time spent within a statistical range from the average time spent for the sessions. The system then determines a most common path of events from the representative group of sessions to yield a most common user journey associated with the presentation of content.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sharing activity information of devices engaged in a messaging session. In operation, the devices provide activity and sharing preference information to a data service. Thereafter, the data service generates notifications for the devices based on the activity, sharing preference, and device information, wherein the notifications include a payload with instructions for messaging clients at the devices to present user interface elements that allow users to access content and applications associated with other users in the messaging session.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for presenting status data received from multiple computing devices in a single central interface. A computing device can be configured to gather and transmit status data. Status data can include any type of data known or discoverable by a computing device. The computing device can also be configured to receive status data from other computing devices and display the status data in a central interface. This functionality can be implemented as part of the operating system running on the computing device. The computing device can also utilize the received status data to select performance options regarding the performance of the computing device. For example, a computing device can select to disable functionality that requires the availability of a target computing device upon a determination that the target computing device is unavailable.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for interaction-aware advertising to minimize banner blindness. First, the system concurrently displays, via a graphical user interface, an advertisement and application content. Next, the system detects a user interaction with the application content. Based on the user interaction, the system then locks the advertisement within a viewable area of display for concurrent display at the graphical user interface with a portion of the application content, wherein the advertisement is configured to remain locked until an unlocking event is detected.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for utilizing a virtual assistant to assist a user with a communication session between the user and a third party service. A user can use a communication application to enter a message directed to the virtual assistant and request assistance to communicate with a 3rd party service. In response, the virtual assistant can access a set of communication instructions associated with the 3rd party service. The set of communication instructions can include a set of commands for communicating with the 3rd party service, services provided by the 3rd party service and data needed by the 3rd party service to facilitate communication. The virtual assistant can use the communication instructions to gather data needed by the 3rd party service, communicate with the 3rd party service and present the user with data received from the 3rd party service.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for bartering content. The system adds a first application to a bartering network, the bartering network including applications for exchanging objects, each of the objects including content associated with a specific application and available for integration into a different application. The system then assigns an application value to the first application and determines an exchange rate for exchanging at least a first object for integration into a second application with at least a second object for integration into the first application, wherein the exchange rate is based on the application value. Based on the exchange rate, the system exchanges the at least first object with the at least second object to yield an exchange, wherein the exchange enables the at least first object to be integrated into the second application and the at least second object to be integrated into the first application.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for utilizing a virtual assistant as part of a communication session. One or more of the participant users can select to utilize a virtual assistant to assist the participant users with tasks during the communication session. A user can use a communication application to enter a message directed to the virtual assistant. The virtual assistant can analyze the entered message and determine that the message was directed to the virtual assistant rather than to the other participants of the communication session. As a result, the message will not be transmitted to the other participants of the communication session and the virtual assistant will assist the user with the identified task.
