Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first notification through a communications network. The first notification includes a subset of user-facing information of an object having one or more states, the subset being determined at a first point in time. A second notification is received through the communications network. The second notification is an update to the user-facing information of the object, and the update may be a subset of user-facing information determined at a second point in time after the first point in time.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a mobile computing device has a first processor and a second processor. The mobile device determines an operating condition of the mobile device, the operating condition being based on at least the current time of day, a current activity of a user associated with the mobile device, or a current proximity of the mobile device to a place connected to the user of the mobile device through an on-line social network. If the operating conditions of the mobile device are satisfied, the first processor of the mobile device sends a message to the second processor of the mobile device, the message causing the second processor to transition from a sleep state to an active state.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a geo-social networking system determines a user's current location, generate a list of places near the user's current location, rank the list of places based on distance, relevancy and a configurable rule set, and automatically checks in the user at the top ranked place.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a geographic-positioning component records a first location of a mobile device. The geographic-positioning component determines on a periodic basis a current location of the mobile device. The geographic-positioning component determines whether the current location is outside a geographic region defined at least in part by the first location and a radius, the radius being adjusted from a pre-determined value based on a detected velocity of the mobile device; time of day information; a battery level of the mobile device; or an error of the first location measurement or the current location measurement. If the current location is outside the geographic region, the geographic-positioning component causes a client application of the mobile device to send the current location to a remote server.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the first processors of a mobile device determine an operating condition of the mobile device. These operating conditions are based on a current velocity of the mobile device, and the current time of day. If the operating conditions satisfy an operating criteria for the mobile device, the first processors send a message to second processors of the mobile device, causing one or more of the second processors to wake up from a sleeping state to an active state.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a processor may identify information about an entity represented by a first node in a social graph for a social-networking system. The information may comprise a location for the entity and an affinity score for the entity with respect to a user, wherein the user is represented by a second node in the social graph. The processor may then determine a region defined with respect to the location of the entity, wherein the region is defined based in part on the affinity score for the entity, as well as determining that a location of a mobile device associated with the user is within the region. Finally, the processor may cause the mobile device to transition from a sleep state to an active state.
