    Abstract: A method and computing system for location-based messaging is provided. Embodiments may include associating a user with one or more computing devices and displaying, using the one or more computing devices, a user location broadcast option at a messaging application associated with the one or more computing devices. Embodiments may also include receiving, using the one or more computing devices, a selection corresponding to the user location broadcast option. Upon receiving the selection, determining a location of the one or more computing devices. Embodiments may further include displaying the location at the messaging application using at least one of the one or more computing devices.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided allowing for background identification and gesture recognition in video images. A computer-implemented image processing method includes: receiving, using at least one processing circuit, a plurality of image frames of a video; constructing, using at feast one processing circuit, a plurality of statistical models of the plurality of image frames at a plurality of pixel granularity levels; constructing, using at least one processing circuit, a plurality of probabilistic models of an input image frame at a plurality of channel granularity levels based on the plurality of statistical models; merging at least some of the plurality of probabilistic models based on a weighted average to form a single probability image; determining background pixels, based on a probability threshold value, from the single probability image; and determining whether the plurality of image frames, when examined in a particular sequence, conveys a gesture by the object.

    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to increasing engagement among users in a social network system. In some implementations, a method includes determining at least one social activity associated with an initiator user in a social network system. The method also includes enabling a token to be sent from an initiator device to one or more nearby devices, wherein the initiator device is associated with the initiator user, and wherein the one or more nearby devices are associated with one or more nearby users. The method also includes sending one or more invitations to one or more of the nearby users in association with the token. The method also includes performing one or more predetermined actions in association with the one or more nearby users based on one or more responses to the invitations.

    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to modifying an appearance of a participant during a video conference. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining at least one frame from a media stream, where the at least one frame includes a first face, and where the first face is an image of a face associated with a user. The method also includes determining a plurality of coordinates within the at least one frame. The method also includes obtaining at least one media content item. The method also includes adding the at least one media content item to the at least one frame based on the plurality of coordinates.
