Abstract: A passive flash system for illuminating images being captured on a user device while maintaining preview of the content being captured. The passive flash system can display a portion of a screen in as an elevated brightness element that is brighter than the content being captured. The elevated brightness element can surround or overlap the content being captured to passively increase the lighting of the imaged environment.

Abstract: A messaging system for exchanging data over a network, configuring an intermediate connection tier system that provides a multi-tier connections messaging framework. The intermediate connection tier system generates, based on the contact data of a user, an intermediate tier of connected user accounts. Each account in the intermediate tier of connected user accounts is provided with messaging privileges with respect to the account of the user, without being associated with expanded access connection tier links, sometimes referred to as friendship links, between their respective accounts with respect to the account of the user.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for ranking videos. The program and method include storing, in a database, a plurality of videos; obtaining, for a first of the plurality of videos, first data representing a first interaction performed by a creator of the first video in association with the first video; and obtaining, for the first video, second data representing a second interaction performed by a consumer of the first video in association with the first video. A score is computed for the first video based on the first and second data and the first video is ranked relative to a remaining subset of the plurality of videos by comparing the computed score for the first video with respective scores of videos in the remaining subset of the plurality of videos.

Abstract: A system and method for presentation of computer vision (e.g., augmented reality, virtual reality) using user data and a user code is disclosed. A client device can detect an image feature (e.g., scannable code) in one or more images. The image feature is determined to be linked to a user account. User data from the user account can then be used to generate one or more augmented reality display elements that can be anchored to the image feature in the one or more images.

Abstract: Embodiments for communicating and displaying collections of image and video clip content with an opt-out interstitial are described. In one example embodiment, a device receives interface information about a group of content collections from a server computer system. When a user inputs a selection of a first content collection, the device displays images and video clips in a sequence defined by the content collection. Each piece of content is displayed for less than a threshold display time. When the device finishes playing the first content collection, the device presents an opt-out interstitial. Additional content collections generated from content submitted by other client devices can be received from the server computer system, and are presented based on a response input, or a lack of response input, to the opt-out interstitial. Some embodiments include content collections generated by the server computer system, as well as advertising elements presented between content collections.

Abstract: A social network image pool system can capture one or more image data items (e.g., image, video) in a temporary persistent post pool. The post pool enables for efficient capture of multiple image data items for publishing in a manner that allows multiple images data items to be captured while preserving the editability of the multiple items before they are published to a social network site.
