Abstract:
Implementations relate to an image cache used for replacing portions of images. In some implementations, a method includes examining a received image and detecting a subject depicted in a subject portion of the received image. The method determines a likelihood that the subject portion will be used as a replacement to be inserted in place of one or more corresponding subject portions in future images examined at a later time. The subject portion, or a reference thereto, is stored in an image cache in response to the determined likelihood being greater than a predetermined threshold. The image cache is available to be searched for the subject portion and other portions of images to replace corresponding portions of future images.
Abstract:
A mobile device determines playback of a media item is complete on the mobile device and determines that an orientation of the mobile device is in landscape mode in response to the playback being complete. The mobile device provides a user interface that corresponds to the landscape mode and presents additional content pertaining to the media item in the landscape mode.
Abstract:
Implementations generally relate to providing control points in images. In some implementations, a method includes determining one or more control points in an image. The method also includes determining one or more image manipulation transforms corresponding to each control point. The method also includes providing the one or more control points and the one or more corresponding image manipulation transforms to a user.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for displaying annotated video content by mobile computing devices. An example method may comprise: presenting, on a display of a mobile computing device, a video stream including a plurality of video frames; presenting a video annotation overlaid over a frame of the plurality of video frames; receiving a user interface command via a user input interface of the mobile computing device; and performing an action related to the video annotation, the action defined by the user interface command.
Abstract:
Implementations disclose livestream conversation notifications. A method includes receiving, via a first user device over a network, a livestream video; presenting, via the first user device to a first user, the livestream video; selecting, from contacts of the first user, a set of contacts with whom the livestream video is to be shared, the selecting being based on affinity scores of the contacts; and causing a transmission, to the selected set of contacts, of a notification that at least the first user is watching the livestream video.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to reducing response latency in fixed allocation content selection infrastructure. An allocator engine selects a content campaign for offline selection based on an allocation metric for the content campaign. A load balancer component identifies, in a distributed computing environment and based on resource utilization information, a computation resource and a time window during which to launch the offline selection. A content selector component launches, during the time window, the offline selection and generates candidate impression criteria. The content selector component receives a request for content via a computer network. Responsive to the request matching the candidate impression criteria, the content selector component disables a real-time selection for the request. The content selector component transmits instructions to render a content item object corresponding to the matching candidate impression criteria generated during the offline selection.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying a set of digital content that are responsive to a search query; detecting an electronic tag within the set of digital content; automatically converting the electronic tag to a frame element; generating and transmitting to an user device a composite page that: is hosted at a different domain than at least some digital content; includes different digital content from the set of digital content; and initially hides presentation of the frame element in the composite page; receiving a request for additional content generated by the frame element that identifies one of the various digital content sources; embedding observation code into the additional content; and determining that the additional content was visually perceptible on a display of the user device based on an electronic message received from the intersection observer code executing at the user device.
Abstract:
A media server provides media items to clients via a network. In some instances, limited network performance of the network makes streaming or on-demand downloading of media items infeasible. In these instances, the media server automatically provides media items to clients for download as network performance allows. Media items may be provided to clients without interrupting the activities of users of the clients, and without active monitoring or watching by users. Clients may issue notifications to users when provided media items are ready for presentation, and clients may present the media items for users to consume.
Abstract:
Providing content in a content list may include identifying positions within the list where content can be provided. A client agent may automatically play items of content at a first position when determining that the first position is within a displayed region of the content list. The client agent may identify a duration during which the first item is within the displayed region of the list, pause playback of the first item at a point in time when the displayed region of the list is advanced to no longer include the first position, and compare the first duration to a threshold value. The client agent may determine that the displayed region of the list has advanced to a second position and resume playback of the first item near the point in time and at the second position if the duration is less than the threshold value.
Abstract:
A notification that has been generated for a user may be identified. The notification may pertain to a media content item. A determination may be made as to whether the user interacted with the media content item, and a further determination may be made as to whether the user has interacted with the notification. In response to determining that the user has interacted with the media content item and has not interacted with the notification pertaining to the media content item, an affinity score of the user with respect to the notification may be calculated. A condition associated with providing a subsequent notification to the user may be determined based on the affinity score of the user.
