- The description that follows includes systems, methods, techniques, instruction sequences, and computing machine program products that embody illustrative embodiments of the disclosure. In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide an understanding of various embodiments of the inventive subject matter. It will be evident, however, to those skilled in the art, that embodiments of the inventive subject matter may be practiced without these specific details. In general, well-known instruction instances, protocols, structures, and techniques are not necessarily shown in detail.
- In various example embodiments, a system makes an edition available for a user to view in a user interface of a messaging application on a client device. In some instances, the edition is a group of stories that are bundled together. Moreover, the system may generate a discovery page featuring a variety of channels. The user may access the edition from one of the channels featured in the discovery page. In other words, the channel featured on the discovery page serves as a link to the edition. As stated, the edition can include one or more stories. For example, each story can include an article, multimedia items, and the like. Moreover, each story may correspond to a specific topic. As soon as the user selects the edition from the discovery page, the user may view the one or more stories from the edition. Also, the content within each story may include more than one layer. For example, the content within a story may include a first layer, also known as a top-snap, and a second layer, also known as longform content. In some embodiments, the top-snap for each story may be viewed by tapping or swiping horizontally across the screen of the client device and the longform content may be viewed by selection of the top-snap. For instance, the user may swipe vertically on the top-snap in order to view the longform content.
- In various example embodiments, upon viewing the edition, the user may share the content from the edition with another user. The user may send a request to the system to share the content with the other user. In some instances, the user may also annotate the content prior to sharing it with other users. Once shared, the other users may view the annotated content from their client devices. In some cases, the annotated content is sent as an ephemeral message and is only available for a predefined duration of time.
- In various example embodiments, the system includes a publication application that enables editions to be uploaded to the discovery page from a content publisher or an uploading party. The system may present an upload page to the uploading party. The upload page of the publication application may assist the uploading party in uploading the content for the edition to a database server. Once the content for the edition is uploaded at the database server, the content is made available to view from the discovery page. Accordingly, the system generates a channel on the discovery page which provides access to the one or more editions. In some embodiments, channels may be implemented to correspond to uploading parties. Although the discovery page provides access to the one or more editions, in some instances, only one edition may be viewed at a time on the client device.

FIG. 1 is a network diagram depicting anetwork system 100 having a client-server architecture configured for exchanging data over a network, according to one embodiment. For example, thenetwork system 100 may be a messaging system where clients communicate and exchange data within thenetwork system 100. The data may pertain to various functions (e.g., sending and receiving text and media communication, determining geolocation, etc.) and aspects (e.g., publication of media content, management of media content, etc.) associated with thenetwork system 100 and its users. Although illustrated herein as client-server architecture, other embodiments may include other network architectures, such as peer-to-peer or distributed network environments. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thenetwork system 100 includes asocial messaging system 130. Thesocial messaging system 130 is generally based on a three-tiered architecture, consisting of aninterface layer 124, anapplication logic layer 126, and adata layer 128. As is understood by skilled artisans in the relevant computer and Internet-related arts, each module or engine shown inFIG. 1 represents a set of executable software instructions and the corresponding hardware (e.g., memory and processor) for executing the instructions. To avoid obscuring the inventive subject matter with unnecessary detail, various functional modules and engines that are not germane to conveying an understanding of the inventive subject matter have been omitted fromFIG. 1 . Of course, additional functional modules and engines may be used with a social messaging system, such as that illustrated inFIG. 1 , to facilitate additional functionality that is not specifically described herein. Furthermore, the various functional modules and engines depicted inFIG. 1 may reside on a single server computer, or may be distributed across several server computers in various arrangements. Moreover, although thesocial messaging system 130 is depicted inFIG. 1 as a three-tiered architecture, the inventive subject matter is by no means limited to such an architecture. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , theinterface layer 124 consists of interface module(s) (e.g., a web server) 140, which receives requests from various client-computing devices and servers, such as client device(s) 110 executing client application(s) 112, and third party server(s) 120 executing third party application(s) 122. In response to received requests, the interface module(s) 140 communicates appropriate responses to requesting devices via anetwork 104. For example, the interface module(s) 140 can receive requests such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests, or other web-based, Application Programming Interface (API) requests. - The client device(s) 110 can execute conventional web browser applications or applications (also referred to as “apps”) that have been developed for a specific platform to include any of a wide variety of mobile computing devices and mobile-specific operating systems (e.g., IOS™, ANDROID™, WINDOWS® PHONE). In an example, the client device(s) 110 are executing the client application(s) 112. The client application(s) 112 can provide functionality to present information to a
user 106 and communicate via thenetwork 104 to exchange information with thesocial messaging system 130. Each of the client device(s) 110 can comprise a computing device that includes at least a display and communication capabilities with thenetwork 104 to access thesocial messaging system 130. The client device(s) 110 comprise, but are not limited to, remote devices, work stations, computers, general purpose computers, Internet appliances, hand-held devices, wireless devices, portable devices, wearable computers, cellular or mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), smart phones, tablets, ultrabooks, netbooks, laptops, desktops, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, game consoles, set-top boxes, network PCs, mini-computers, and the like. User(s) 106 can be a person, a machine, or other means of interacting with the client device(s) 110. In some embodiments, the user(s) 106 interact with thesocial messaging system 130 via the client device(s) 110. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thedata layer 128 has database server(s) 132 that facilitate access to information storage repositories or database(s) 134. The database(s) 134 are storage devices that store data such as member profile data, social graph data (e.g., relationships between members of the social messaging system 130), and other user data. - An individual can register with the
social messaging system 130 to become a member of thesocial messaging system 130. Once registered, a member can form social network relationships (e.g., friends, followers, or contacts) on thesocial messaging system 130 and interact with a broad range of applications provided by thesocial messaging system 130. - The
application logic layer 126 includes various application logic module(s) 150, which, in conjunction with the interface module(s) 140, generate various user interfaces with data retrieved from various data sources or data services in thedata layer 128. Individual application logic module(s) 150 may be used to implement the functionality associated with various applications, services, and features of thesocial messaging system 130. For instance, a social messaging application can be implemented with one or more of the application logic module(s) 150. The social messaging application provides a messaging mechanism for users of the client device(s) 110 to send and receive messages that include text and media content such as pictures and video. The client device(s) 110 may access and view the messages from the social messaging application for a specified period of time (e.g., limited or unlimited). In an example, a particular message is accessible to a message recipient for a predefined duration (e.g., specified by a message sender) that begins when the particular message is first accessed. After the predefined duration elapses, the message is deleted and is no longer accessible to the message recipient. Of course, other applications and services may be separately embodied in their own application server module(s) 150. As another example, a publication application can be implemented with one or more of the application logic module(s) 150. The publication application provides a messaging mechanism for users (e.g., content publishers) of the client device(s) 110 to upload media content to thesocial messaging system 130. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , thesocial messaging system 130 includes adiscovery system 160. In various embodiments, thediscovery system 160 can be implemented as a standalone system and is not necessarily included in thesocial messaging system 130. In some embodiments, the client device(s) 110 includes a portion of the discovery system 160 (e.g., a portion of the discovery system may be included in the client application(s) 112). In these embodiments, the client device(s) 110 can work alone or in conjunction with the portion of thediscovery system 160 included in a particular application server or thesocial messaging system 130. - The
communication module 250 provides various communications functionality. For example, thecommunication module 250 may be configured to exchange network communications with database server(s) 132, clients device(s) 110, as well as any third party server(s) 120. The types of information and data exchanged may include configuration data for media content, such as pictograph data (e.g., an image file); geographic indications (e.g., a particular latitude and longitude); data associated with the user (e.g., member profile data from an online account or social network service data); or other data to facilitate the functionality described herein. - The
presentation module 240 provides various presentation and user interface functionalities and allows the transmission of information to and from the user (e.g., visually displaying information on a screen, acoustic output, haptic feedback). For instance, thepresentation module 240 may present content depicting one or more stories on a user interface or in a display of a user device. The user may provide input to interact with the user interface in many possible manners, such as alphanumeric, point based (e.g., cursor), tactile, or other input (e.g., touch screen, tactile sensor, light sensor, infrared sensor, biometric sensor, microphone, gyroscope, accelerometer, or other sensors), and the like. -
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating components of adiscovery system 160, according to some example embodiments. Thediscovery system 160 is shown as including areception module 210, agroup module 220, ageneration module 230, and apresentation module 240, all configured to communicate with each other (e.g., via a bus, network coupling, shared memory, a switch, and the like). Any one or more of the modules described herein may be implemented using hardware (e.g., one or more processors of a machine) or a combination of hardware and software. For example, any module described herein may configure a processor (e.g., among one or more processors of a machine) to perform the operations described herein for that module. Moreover, multiple modules may be combined into a single module, and the functions described herein for a single module may be subdivided among multiple modules. Furthermore, according to various example embodiments, modules described herein as being implemented within a single machine, database, or device may be distributed across multiple machines, databases, or devices. Other modules not pertinent to example embodiments can also be included, but are not shown. - In various example embodiments, the
reception module 210 is configured to receive content that depicts one or more stories. Thereception module 210 may receive the content from a first client device which is operated by a first user. The first user may be an individual, a group of users or any other entity. The content may include a video clip, an image, a description, and the like. Each story may revolve around a specific topic or idea. For instance, a story may include information about a particular travel destination. Accordingly, the content for the travel destination may include pictures and descriptions of the travel destination. In some instances, the content may include multiple layers (e.g., a first layer, a second layer, etc.). A user a may view the first layer, also known as a top-snap, prior to the second layer, also known as longform content. In some instances, the first layer is selectable to cause display of the second layer. For example, the first layer content for a music video may be a ten second preview of the entire music video. The second layer content for the music video may be a full length clip of the music video. As another example, the first layer content for the travel destination may be a picture of the travel destination. The second layer content for the travel destination may be descriptions about things to do at the travel destination. - In various example embodiments, the
reception module 210 is further configured to receive a request from the first client device to upload the content into the edition. The first device may have client application software (e.g., a messaging application) installed which includes a feature to send the request to thereception module 210. In response, thepresentation module 240 is configured to display an upload page on the first client device, as further explained below. - In various example embodiments, the
group module 220 is configured to group the content that depicts the one or more stories into an edition. In example embodiments, these editions may be presented as part of the messaging application installed on a client device. Each story of the edition may occupy an entire screen when viewed on the client device. Moreover, a user may scroll through each story of the edition using a tapping or swiping gesture or motion. Specifically, the first layer (e.g., top-snap) for each story may be viewed by tapping or swiping horizontally across the screen of the client device. Similarly, the second layer (e.g., longform content) may be viewed by selection of the top-snap. In various example embodiments, thereception module 210 is further configured to store the received content in a database, such as database(s) 134. Once stored, thegroup module 220 can retrieve the content from the database and group the content into the edition. - The
group module 220 may be further configured to identify that the content is received from the first client device within a specific predefined window of time. For instance, all of the stories grouped into the edition may be identified by thegroup module 220 as being received within a span of a week. Therefore, these stories within the edition may remain current or up to date. - In various example embodiments, the
generation module 230 is configured to generate a discovery page that allows a user to select an edition. In some embodiments, the discovery page is a landing page that includes a link or channel to an edition. For instance, each link/channel may be generated bygeneration module 230. In order to select an edition for viewing, a user may activate or select the desired link on the discovery page. In some embodiments, the channels may correspond to (or serve to identify) the source of the content in the edition. - In various example embodiments, the
presentation module 240 may present the discovery page on a second client device, operated by a second user. Thus, thepresentation module 240 is further configured to present the icon of the channel as part of the discovery page. The channel may also serve as a link to other editions that are received from the same source. In various example embodiments, thepresentation module 240 may present the content on the second client device based on the selection of the channel. Therefore, the presentation of the content is performed based on selection of the edition from the discovery page. Thepresentation module 240 may also present the multiple layers of the content (e.g., the first layer and the second layer) on the second client device. - In various example embodiments, the
presentation module 240 is further configured to present the upload page on the first client device. The presentation of the upload page may be performed in response to the received request to upload content. The upload page enables a user (e.g., the first user operating the first client device) to upload content that depicts the one or more stories. For instance, the upload page may include a section where the user can drag content to indicate that the content is to be uploaded into the edition. - In various example embodiments, the
reception module 210 is further configured to receive an annotated version of the content that depicts the one or more stories. Thereception module 210 may also receive an indication to share the annotated version of the content with another or third client device. In this regard, the annotated version of the content may be received from the second client device. The annotated version of the content may include additional markings added by the second user to the original content that was displayed on the second client device. Specifically, upon viewing the content on the second client device, the second user may edit or alter the content in order to generate an annotated version of the content. Annotations may include: adding a further description, a drawing, an animation or a picture, adding a layer on top of original content (including e.g., any number of photofilters), deleting a portion of the original content, and the like. Accordingly, thepresentation module 240 is configured to cause presentation of the annotated version of the content on the third client device for a predefined duration of time. Therefore, the third user on the third client device will be able to view the annotated version of the content sent from the second user on the second client device. In some instances, the annotated version of the content is an ephemeral message that is available for the predefined duration of time. After the predefined duration of time elapses, the message may be deleted, and no longer able to be viewed, on the third client device. - In various example embodiments, the
reception module 210 is further configured to receive a scheduled time from the first client device. The scheduled time is used to indicate when to present the edition on the second client device. Therefore, in some instances, thepresentation module 240 is further configured to present the edition on the second client device during the scheduled time. For example, the edition is made available on the discovery page during the scheduled time. Thus, when the scheduled time elapses, the second user is no longer able to select the edition for viewing from the discovery page. -
FIG. 3 is auser interface 300 of a discovery page, according to some example embodiments. The discovery page is displayed on a client device belonging to a user. As shown, theuser interface 300 includes a variety of channels. Each channel represents an icon and can be used to access an edition. In some instances, each channel corresponds to a source for the content or editions included in the channel. As shown, theuser interface 300 includes afirst channel 310 and asecond channel 320. Thefirst channel 310 may be a link that is selectable by the user to view an edition from thefirst channel 310. Likewise, thesecond channel 320 is a link that is selectable by the user to view an edition from thesecond channel 320.

FIG. 10-12 are flowcharts illustrating operations of thediscovery system 160 in performing amethod 1000 of presentation of content that depicts one or more stories, according to some example embodiments. Operations in themethod 1000 may be performed by thediscovery system 160, using modules described above with respect toFIG. 2 . As shown inFIG. 10 , themethod 1000 includesoperations - At
operation 1010, thereception module 210 receives content that depicts one or more stories. Thereception module 210 receives the content from a first client device which is operated by a first user. As an example, thereception module 210 receives first content that depicts a first story and second content that depicts a second story. The first user may upload the content from an upload page that is displayed on the first client device. Further, the content may include a video clip, an image, a description, and the like. - At
operation 1020, thegroup module 220 groups the content into an edition used to represent the one or more stories. As an example, thegroup module 220 groups the first content and the second content received atoperation 1020 into the edition used to represent the one or more stories. - At
operation 1030, thegeneration module 230 generates a discovery page that enables selection of the edition. A second user may select the link on the discovery page in order to view the edition. The link to the edition may be a channel. As shown inFIG. 3 , the discovery page includes a variety of channels for the second user to choose from. - At
operation 1040, thepresentation module 240 causes presentation of the discovery page. The presentation of the discovery page may be on a second client device belonging to the second user (e.g., the discovery page may be broadcast to multiple recipient or target devices). In some instances, the discovery page is a feature of a messaging application installed on the second client device. - At
operation 1050, thepresentation module 240 causes presentation of the content. In some cases, thepresentation module 240 is further configured to cause presentation of the multiple layers of the content (e.g., the first layer and the second layer) on the screen of the second client device belonging to the second user. Once displayed on the screen of the second client device, the second user may select the first layer to cause display of the second layer of the content. For instance, the second user may swipe vertically on the first layer displayed on the screen of the second client device. Alternatively, the second user may tap on the first layer displayed on the screen of the second client device. In some instances, the first layer indicates an area where the second user may tap in order to cause display of the second layer. - In some instances, the
presentation module 240 simultaneously displays a video clip and one or more images. For example, thepresentation module 240 may cause the one or more images (e.g., the PNG images described above) to be displayed over the video clip as the video clip is being played. Referring back toFIG. 5 , thevideo clip 520 of the rock music video includes an image (e.g., image 525) that is overlaid on top of thevideo clip 520. - As shown in
FIG. 11 , themethod 1000 may include one or more of sub-operations 1110, 1120, 1130, and 1140.Operations operation 1020. Further,operation 1130 may be performed as part ofoperation 1030 andoperation 1140 may be performed prior tooperation 1040. - At
operation 1110, thegroup module 220 may be used to associate a time setting to the content. For example, a user may be able to identify a time span, after which the content may no longer be ‘current’ or accessible. Thus, the content included within the edition may correspond to a certain day of the week. As shown inFIGS. 4-8 , each piece of content displayed in the user interfaces is indicated as being part of an edition that corresponds to a day of the week (e.g., Monday). - At
operation 1120, thegroup module 220 generates a collection of stories depicted by the content, which may be displayed on a client device. As an example, the pieces of content displayed inFIGS. 3-8 may represent a story within the collection of stories. Further, a user may be able to navigate through each story by performing a tapping or swiping gesture. - At
operation 1130, thegeneration module 230 generates an icon of a channel selectable to result in the presentation of the edition. Moreover, the icon of the channel may include a thumbnail image related to the source of the content included in the edition. Also, as shown inFIG. 3 , the generated icon may be displayed on a discovery page. AlthoughFIG. 3 does not specifically show thumbnail images, each of the icons may include a thumbnail image that is related to the source of the content for the edition. In some cases, when all the editions from a channel have been viewed on a client device, the icon of the channel will change appearance (e.g., an animation that modifies a color of the icon). - At
operation 1140, thereception module 210 receives a scheduled time, which may be used to indicate when the edition is available on the discovery page. In some instances, the scheduled time is indicated by a user from the upload page. For example, as shown inFIG. 9 , the upload page includes a section where a user may input the scheduled time. - As shown in
FIG. 12 , themethod 1000 may include one or more of sub-operations 1210, 1220, 1230, and 1240.Operations operation 1010. Further,operations operation 1050. - At
operation 1210, thereception module 210 receives a request to upload content to the edition. The request may be received from the first client device. For instance, client application software installed on the first client device may include a feature which sends a request to thereception module 210. Moreover, theoperation 1020 may be performed based on the request received atoperation 1210. - At
operation 1220, thepresentation module 240 causes presentation of an upload page. The upload page enables the user of the first client device to upload the content that depicts the one or more stories. For instance, the upload page may include a section where a user can drag content to indicate that the content is to be uploaded into the edition. From the upload page, the user is also able to upload multiple layers (e.g., a first layer and a second layer) of content that depicts one or more stories which will be grouped into the edition. For example, the user may upload each layer by dragging the content (e.g., a file that includes the content) into the appropriate section of the upload page. Further, the user may continue dragging multiple files until the multiple layers of the content have been uploaded. - At
operation 1230, thereception module 210 receives an annotated version of the content that depicts the one or more stories. For instance, thereception module 210 receives the annotated version of the content from the second client device. The second user of the second device, upon viewing the content displayed on the second client device, may alter or edit the content. Subsequently, the second user may send the annotated content from the second client device to thereception module 210. As an example, as shown inFIG. 8 , the annotated version of the content may include an additional description that is added to the original content. Further, thereception module 210 receives an indication to share the annotated version of the content with a third client device. For example, the second user of the second client device may double tap on the screen of the second device in order to share the annotated version of the content. - At
operation 1240, thepresentation module 240 causes presentation of the annotated version of the content. Thepresentation module 240 may cause presentation of the annotated version of the content on the third client device as indicated atoperation 1230. Further, the annotated version of the content is viewable on the third client device for a predefined duration of time. This is because the annotated version of the content can be an ephemeral message that is available for the predefined duration of time. For example, as shown inFIG. 8 , the annotated content includes a timer which indicates an amount of time remaining before the annotated content disappears. - Certain embodiments are described herein as including logic or a number of components, modules, or mechanisms. Modules can constitute either software modules (e.g., code embodied on a machine-readable medium or in a transmission signal) or hardware modules. A “hardware module” is a tangible unit capable of performing certain operations and can be configured or arranged in a certain physical manner. In various example embodiments, one or more computer systems (e.g., a standalone computer system, a client computer system, or a server computer system) or one or more hardware modules of a computer system (e.g., a processor or a group of processors) is configured by software (e.g., an application or application portion) as a hardware module that operates to perform certain operations as described herein.
- In some embodiments, a hardware module is implemented mechanically, electronically, or any suitable combination thereof. For example, a hardware module can include dedicated circuitry or logic that is permanently configured to perform certain operations. For example, a hardware module can be a special-purpose processor, such as a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). A hardware module may also include programmable logic or circuitry that is temporarily configured by software to perform certain operations. For example, a hardware module can include software encompassed within a general-purpose processor or other programmable processor. It will be appreciated that the decision to implement a hardware module mechanically, in dedicated and permanently configured circuitry, or in temporarily configured circuitry (e.g., configured by software) can be driven by cost and time considerations.
- Accordingly, the phrase “hardware module” should be understood to encompass a tangible entity, be that an entity that is physically constructed, permanently configured (e.g., hardwired), or temporarily configured (e.g., programmed) to operate in a certain manner or to perform certain operations described herein. As used herein, “hardware-implemented module” refers to a hardware module. Considering embodiments in which hardware modules are temporarily configured (e.g., programmed), each of the hardware modules need not be configured or instantiated at any one instance in time. For example, where a hardware module comprises a general-purpose processor configured by software to become a special-purpose processor, the general-purpose processor may be configured as respectively different special-purpose processors (e.g., comprising different hardware modules) at different times. Software can accordingly configure a particular processor or processors, for example, to constitute a particular hardware module at one instance of time and to constitute a different hardware module at a different instance of time.
- Hardware modules can provide information to, and receive information from, other hardware modules. Accordingly, the described hardware modules can be regarded as being communicatively coupled. Where multiple hardware modules exist contemporaneously, communications can be achieved through signal transmission (e.g., over appropriate circuits and buses) between or among two or more of the hardware modules. In embodiments in which multiple hardware modules are configured or instantiated at different times, communications between such hardware modules may be achieved, for example, through the storage and retrieval of information in memory structures to which the multiple hardware modules have access. For example, one hardware module performs an operation and stores the output of that operation in a memory device to which it is communicatively coupled. A further hardware module can then, at a later time, access the memory device to retrieve and process the stored output. Hardware modules can also initiate communications with input or output devices, and can operate on a resource (e.g., a collection of information).
- The various operations of example methods described herein can be performed, at least partially, by one or more processors that are temporarily configured (e.g., by software) or permanently configured to perform the relevant operations. Whether temporarily or permanently configured, such processors constitute processor-implemented modules that operate to perform one or more operations or functions described herein. As used herein, “processor-implemented module” refers to a hardware module implemented using one or more processors.
- Similarly, the methods described herein can be at least partially processor-implemented, with a particular processor or processors being an example of hardware. For example, at least some of the operations of a method can be performed by one or more processors or processor-implemented modules. Moreover, the one or more processors may also operate to support performance of the relevant operations in a “cloud computing” environment or as a “software as a service” (SaaS). For example, at least some of the operations may be performed by a group of computers (as examples of machines including processors), with these operations being accessible via a network (e.g., the Internet) and via one or more appropriate interfaces (e.g., an Application Program Interface (API)).
- The performance of certain of the operations may be distributed among the processors, not only residing within a single machine, but deployed across a number of machines. In some example embodiments, the processors or processor-implemented modules are located in a single geographic location (e.g., within a home environment, an office environment, or a server farm). In other example embodiments, the processors or processor-implemented modules are distributed across a number of geographic locations.

In one embodiment, themobile device 1300 includes a touch screen operable to receive tactile data from auser 1302. For instance, theuser 1302 may physically touch 1304 themobile device 1300, and in response to thetouch 1304, themobile device 1300 may determine tactile data such as touch location, touch force, or gesture motion. In various example embodiments, themobile device 1300 displays a home screen 1306 (e.g., Springboard on IOS™) operable to launch applications or otherwise manage various aspects of themobile device 1300. In some example embodiments, thehome screen 1306 provides status information such as battery life, connectivity, or other hardware statuses. Theuser 1302 can activate user interface elements by touching an area occupied by a respective user interface element. In this manner, theuser 1302 interacts with the applications of themobile device 1300. For example, touching the area occupied by a particular icon included in thehome screen 1306 causes launching of an application corresponding to the particular icon. - Many varieties of applications (also referred to as “apps”) can be executing on the
mobile device 1300, such as native applications (e.g., applications programmed in Objective-C, Swift, or another suitable language running on IOS™, or applications programmed in Java running on ANDROID™), mobile web applications (e.g., applications written in Hypertext Markup Language-5 (HTML5)), or hybrid applications (e.g., a native shell application that launches an HTML5 session). For example, themobile device 1300 includes a messaging app, an audio recording app, a camera app, a book reader app, a media app, a fitness app, a file management app, a location app, a browser app, a settings app, a contacts app, a telephone call app, or other apps (e.g., gaming apps, social networking apps, biometric monitoring apps). In another example, themobile device 1300 includes asocial messaging app 1308 such as SNAPCHAT® that, consistent with some embodiments, allows users to exchange ephemeral messages that include media content. In this example, thesocial messaging app 1308 can incorporate aspects of embodiments described herein. -
FIG. 14 is a block diagram 1400 illustrating an architecture ofsoftware 1402, which can be installed on any one or more of the devices described above.FIG. 14 is merely a non-limiting example of a software architecture, and it will be appreciated that many other architectures can be implemented to facilitate the functionality described herein. In various embodiments, thesoftware 1402 is implemented by hardware such as machine a 1500 ofFIG. 15 that includesprocessors 1510,memory 1530, and I/O components 1550. In this example architecture, thesoftware 1402 can be conceptualized as a stack of layers where each layer may provide a particular functionality. For example, thesoftware 1402 includes layers such as anoperating system 1404,libraries 1406,frameworks 1408, andapplications 1410. Operationally, theapplications 1410 invoke application programming interface (API) calls 1412 through the software stack and receivemessages 1414 in response to the API calls 1412, consistent with some embodiments. - In various implementations, the
operating system 1404 manages hardware resources and provides common services. Theoperating system 1404 includes, for example, akernel 1420,services 1422, anddrivers 1424. Thekernel 1420 acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the other software layers consistent with some embodiments. For example, thekernel 1420 provides memory management, processor management (e.g., scheduling), component management, networking, and security settings, among other functionality. Theservices 1422 can provide other common services for the other software layers. Thedrivers 1424 are responsible for controlling or interfacing with the underlying hardware, according to some embodiments. For instance, thedrivers 1424 can include display drivers, camera drivers, BLUETOOTH® drivers, flash memory drivers, serial communication drivers (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB) drivers), WI-FI® drivers, audio drivers, power management drivers, and so forth. - In some embodiments, the
libraries 1406 provide a low-level common infrastructure utilized by theapplications 1410. Thelibraries 1406 can include system libraries 1430 (e.g., C standard library) that can provide functions such as memory allocation functions, string manipulation functions, mathematic functions, and the like. In addition, thelibraries 1406 can includeAPI libraries 1432 such as media libraries (e.g., libraries to support presentation and manipulation of various media formats such as Moving Picture Experts Group-4 (MPEG4), Advanced Video Coding (H.264 or AVC), Moving Picture Experts Group Layer-3 (MP3), Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) audio codec, Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG or JPG), or Portable Network Graphics (PNG)), graphics libraries (e.g., an OpenGL framework used to render in two dimensions (2D) and three dimensions (3D) in a graphic content on a display), database libraries (e.g., SQLite to provide various relational database functions), web libraries (e.g., WebKit to provide web browsing functionality), and the like. Thelibraries 1406 can also include a wide variety ofother libraries 1434 to provide many other APIs to theapplications 1410. - The
frameworks 1408 provide a high-level common infrastructure that can be utilized by theapplications 1410, according to some embodiments. For example, theframeworks 1408 provide various graphic user interface (GUI) functions, high-level resource management, high-level location services, and so forth. Theframeworks 1408 can provide a broad spectrum of other APIs that can be utilized by theapplications 1410, some of which may be specific to a particular operating system or platform. - In an example embodiment, the
applications 1410 include ahome application 1450, acontacts application 1452, abrowser application 1454, abook reader application 1456, alocation application 1458, amedia application 1460, amessaging application 1462, agame application 1464, and a broad assortment of other applications such as athird party application 1466. According to some embodiments, theapplications 1410 are programs that execute functions defined in the programs. Various programming languages can be employed to create one or more of theapplications 1410, structured in a variety of manners, such as object-oriented programming languages (e.g., Objective-C, Java, or C++) or procedural programming languages (e.g., C or assembly language). In a specific example, the third party application 1466 (e.g., an application developed using the ANDROID™ or IOS™ software development kit (SDK) by an entity other than the vendor of the particular platform) may be mobile software running on a mobile operating system such as IOS™, ANDROID™, WINDOWS® PHONE, or another mobile operating systems. In this example, thethird party application 1466 can invoke the API calls 1412 provided by theoperating system 1404 to facilitate functionality described herein. -
FIG. 15 is a block diagram illustrating components of amachine 1500, according to some embodiments, able to read instructions from a machine-readable medium (e.g., a machine-readable storage medium) and perform any one or more of the methodologies discussed herein. Specifically,FIG. 15 shows a diagrammatic representation of themachine 1500 in the example form of a computer system, within which instructions 1516 (e.g., software, a program, an application, an applet, an app, or other executable code) for causing themachine 1500 to perform any one or more of the methodologies discussed herein can be executed. In alternative embodiments, themachine 1500 operates as a standalone device or can be coupled (e.g., networked) to other machines. In a networked deployment, themachine 1500 may operate in the capacity of a server machine or a client machine in a server-client network environment, or as a peer machine in a peer-to-peer (or distributed) network environment. Themachine 1500 can comprise, but not be limited to, a server computer, a client computer, a personal computer (PC), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a netbook, a set-top box (STB), a personal digital assistant (PDA), an entertainment media system, a cellular telephone, a smart phone, a mobile device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch), a smart home device (e.g., a smart appliance), other smart devices, a web appliance, a network router, a network switch, a network bridge, or any machine capable of executing theinstructions 1516, sequentially or otherwise, that specify actions to be taken by themachine 1500. Further, while only asingle machine 1500 is illustrated, the term “machine” shall also be taken to include a collection ofmachines 1500 that individually or jointly execute theinstructions 1516 to perform any one or more of the methodologies discussed herein. - In various embodiments, the
machine 1500 comprisesprocessors 1510,memory 1530, and I/O components 1550, which can be configured to communicate with each other via a bus 1502. In an example embodiment, the processors 1510 (e.g., a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) processor, a Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) processor, a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC), another processor, or any suitable combination thereof) includes, for example, aprocessor 1512 and aprocessor 1514 that may execute theinstructions 1516. The term “processor” is intended to include multi-core processors that may comprise two or more independent processors (also referred to as “cores”) that can execute instructions contemporaneously. AlthoughFIG. 15 shows multiple processors, themachine 1500 may include a single processor with a single core, a single processor with multiple cores (e.g., a multi-core processor), multiple processors with a single core, multiple processors with multiples cores, or any combination thereof. - The
memory 1530 comprises amain memory 1532, astatic memory 1534, and astorage unit 1536 accessible to theprocessors 1510 via the bus 1502, according to some embodiments. Thestorage unit 1536 can include a machine-readable medium 1538 on which are stored theinstructions 1516 embodying any one or more of the methodologies or functions described herein. Theinstructions 1516 can also reside, completely or at least partially, within themain memory 1532, within thestatic memory 1534, within at least one of the processors 1510 (e.g., within the processor's cache memory), or any suitable combination thereof, during execution thereof by themachine 1500. Accordingly, in various embodiments, themain memory 1532, thestatic memory 1534, and theprocessors 1510 are considered machine-readable media 1538. - As used herein, the term “memory” refers to a machine-
readable medium 1538 able to store data temporarily or permanently and may be taken to include, but not be limited to, random-access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), buffer memory, flash memory, and cache memory. While the machine-readable medium 1538 is shown in an example embodiment to be a single medium, the term “machine-readable medium” should be taken to include a single medium or multiple media (e.g., a centralized or distributed database, or associated caches and servers) able to store theinstructions 1516. The term “machine-readable medium” shall also be taken to include any medium, or combination of multiple media, that is capable of storing instructions (e.g., instructions 1516) for execution by a machine (e.g., machine 1500), such that the instructions, when executed by one or more processors of the machine 1500 (e.g., processors 1510), cause themachine 1500 to perform any one or more of the methodologies described herein. Accordingly, a “machine-readable medium” refers to a single storage apparatus or device, as well as “cloud-based” storage systems or storage networks that include multiple storage apparatus or devices. The term “machine-readable medium” shall accordingly be taken to include, but not be limited to, one or more data repositories in the form of a solid-state memory (e.g., flash memory), an optical medium, a magnetic medium, other non-volatile memory (e.g., Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM)), or any suitable combination thereof. The term “machine-readable medium” specifically excludes non-statutory signals per se. - The I/
O components 1550 include a wide variety of components to receive input, provide output, produce output, transmit information, exchange information, capture measurements, and so on. In general, it will be appreciated that the I/O components 1550 can include many other components that are not shown inFIG. 15 . The I/O components 1550 are grouped according to functionality merely for simplifying the following discussion, and the grouping is in no way limiting. In various example embodiments, the I/O components 1550 includeoutput components 1552 andinput components 1554. Theoutput components 1552 include visual components (e.g., a display such as a plasma display panel (PDP), a light emitting diode (LED) display, a liquid crystal display (LCD), a projector, or a cathode ray tube (CRT)), acoustic components (e.g., speakers), haptic components (e.g., a vibratory motor), other signal generators, and so forth. Theinput components 1554 include alphanumeric input components (e.g., a keyboard, a touch screen configured to receive alphanumeric input, a photo-optical keyboard, or other alphanumeric input components), point based input components (e.g., a mouse, a touchpad, a trackball, a joystick, a motion sensor, or other pointing instruments), tactile input components (e.g., a physical button, a touch screen that provides location and force of touches or touch gestures, or other tactile input components), audio input components (e.g., a microphone), and the like. - In some further example embodiments, the I/
O components 1550 includebiometric components 1556,motion components 1558,environmental components 1560, orposition components 1562, among a wide array of other components. For example, thebiometric components 1556 include components to detect expressions (e.g., hand expressions, facial expressions, vocal expressions, body gestures, or eye tracking), measure biosignals (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, perspiration, or brain waves), identify a person (e.g., voice identification, retinal identification, facial identification, fingerprint identification, or electroencephalogram based identification), and the like. Themotion components 1558 include acceleration sensor components (e.g., accelerometer), gravitation sensor components, rotation sensor components (e.g., gyroscope), and so forth. Theenvironmental components 1560 include, for example, illumination sensor components (e.g., photometer), temperature sensor components (e.g., one or more thermometers that detect ambient temperature), humidity sensor components, pressure sensor components (e.g., barometer), acoustic sensor components (e.g., one or more microphones that detect background noise), proximity sensor components (e.g., infrared sensors that detect nearby objects), gas sensor components (e.g., machine olfaction detection sensors, gas detection sensors to detect concentrations of hazardous gases for safety or to measure pollutants in the atmosphere), or other components that may provide indications, measurements, or signals corresponding to a surrounding physical environment. Theposition components 1562 include location sensor components (e.g., a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver component), altitude sensor components (e.g., altimeters or barometers that detect air pressure from which altitude may be derived), orientation sensor components (e.g., magnetometers), and the like. - Communication can be implemented using a wide variety of technologies. The I/
O components 1550 may includecommunication components 1564 operable to couple themachine 1500 to anetwork 1580 ordevices 1570 via acoupling 1582 and acoupling 1572, respectively. For example, thecommunication components 1564 include a network interface component or another suitable device to interface with thenetwork 1580. In further examples,communication components 1564 include wired communication components, wireless communication components, cellular communication components, Near Field Communication (NFC) components, BLUETOOTH® components (e.g., BLUETOOTH® Low Energy), WI-FI® components, and other communication components to provide communication via other modalities. Thedevices 1570 may be another machine or any of a wide variety of peripheral devices (e.g., a peripheral device coupled via a Universal Serial Bus (USB)). - Moreover, in some embodiments, the
communication components 1564 detect identifiers or include components operable to detect identifiers. For example, thecommunication components 1564 include Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag reader components, NFC smart tag detection components, optical reader components (e.g., an optical sensor to detect a one-dimensional bar codes such as a Universal Product Code (UPC) bar code, multi-dimensional bar codes such as a Quick Response (QR) code, Aztec Code, Data Matrix, Dataglyph, MaxiCode, PDF417, Ultra Code, Uniform Commercial Code Reduced Space Symbology (UCC RSS)-2D bar codes, and other optical codes), acoustic detection components (e.g., microphones to identify tagged audio signals), or any suitable combination thereof. In addition, a variety of information can be derived via thecommunication components 1564, such as location via Internet Protocol (IP) geolocation, location via WI-FI® signal triangulation, location via detecting a BLUETOOTH® or NFC beacon signal that may indicate a particular location, and so forth. - In various example embodiments, one or more portions of the
network 1580 can be an ad hoc network, an intranet, an extranet, a virtual private network (VPN), a local area network (LAN), a wireless LAN (WLAN), a wide area network (WAN), a wireless WAN (WWAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), the Internet, a portion of the Internet, a portion of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), a plain old telephone service (POTS) network, a cellular telephone network, a wireless network, a WI-FI® network, another type of network, or a combination of two or more such networks. For example, thenetwork 1580 or a portion of thenetwork 1580 may include a wireless or cellular network, and thecoupling 1582 may be a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) connection, a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) connection, or another type of cellular or wireless coupling. In this example, thecoupling 1582 can implement any of a variety of types of data transfer technology, such as Single Carrier Radio Transmission Technology (1×RTT), Evolution-Data Optimized (EVDO) technology, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technology, Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) technology, third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) including 3G, fourth generation wireless (4G) networks, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard, others defined by various standard-setting organizations, other long range protocols, or other data transfer technology. - In example embodiments, the
instructions 1516 are transmitted or received over thenetwork 1580 using a transmission medium via a network interface device (e.g., a network interface component included in the communication components 1564) and utilizing any one of a number of well-known transfer protocols (e.g., Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)). Similarly, in other example embodiments, theinstructions 1516 are transmitted or received using a transmission medium via the coupling 1572 (e.g., a peer-to-peer coupling) to thedevices 1570. The term “transmission medium” shall be taken to include any intangible medium that is capable of storing, encoding, or carrying theinstructions 1516 for execution by themachine 1500, and includes digital or analog communications signals or other intangible media to facilitate communication of such software. - Furthermore, the machine-
readable medium 1538 is non-transitory (in other words, not having any transitory signals) in that it does not embody a propagating signal. However, labeling the machine-readable medium 1538 “non-transitory” should not be construed to mean that the medium is incapable of movement; the medium should be considered as being transportable from one physical location to another. Additionally, since the machine-readable medium 1538 is tangible, the medium may be considered to be a machine-readable device. - Throughout this specification, plural instances may implement components, operations, or structures described as a single instance. Although individual operations of one or more methods are illustrated and described as separate operations, one or more of the individual operations may be performed concurrently, and nothing requires that the operations be performed in the order illustrated. Structures and functionality presented as separate components in example configurations may be implemented as a combined structure or component. Similarly, structures and functionality presented as a single component may be implemented as separate components.
